John Oliver calls Dr. Oz "the worst person in scrubs who has ever been on television"

The last two weeks have undoubtedly been tough on Dr. Oz. First, critics sent a letter to Columbia University questioning whether the surgeon should keep his faculty position in light of the dubious science he often promotes on his widely watched TV show. Then Oz fought back — on his show, in magazine articles, and in on-air interviews. But instead of addressing his misuses of science, Oz talked mostly about ... civil liberties.

"I know I have irritated some potential allies," he wrote in Time magazine on Thursday. "No matter our disagreements, freedom of speech is the most fundamental right we have as Americans. We will not be silenced."

Last night, HBO's John Oliver eviscerated Oz for his ad hominem arguments.

I don't like how Dr. Oz talks too fast and his show is almost like a game show.
