Before the show, the Audience Services team emailed attendees with a missive: "One of the chosen segments for tomorrow revolves around a girl's (other) best friend –HER MAKEUP BAG." I'm still trying to figure out what a girl's (first) best friend is...Her hot curlers? Her Louboutins?
Screenshot of a live audience during a 2015 taping of the Dr. Oz Show. I am seated in the bottom left corner next to a display of ping pong balls and two plexiglass dishes, one of which is filled with blue water. During the show, a guest tossed balls into each dish. The empty dish repelled balls while the dish filled with water retained the balls, proving that skin needs moisture to retain additional moisture. The episode was sponsored by a Eucerin in-shower moisturizer.
A day before the taping, The Dr. Oz Show's Audience Services sent an email to attendees, stating: "Dear ticketholder(s)We look forward to seeing you tomorrow morning! Due to the interactive nature of our show, we rely on our audience to participate with the day's theme—One of the chosen segments for tomorrow revolves around a girl's (other) best friend –HER MAKEUP BAG. This is where we need your help: We ask that ANY INTERESTED FEMALE AUDIENCE MEMBERS bring along their lipstick, blush and mascara. We will be on purse patrol- looking for those of you who go years without replacing your makeup essentials. Thanks in advance for joining in on the fun! Audience Services"
I've been waiting YEARS for this...While job hunting in 2015, I attended tapings of daytime talk shows, including the Dr. Oz Show (see bottom left corner of photo below) Can confirm that he's into universal healthcare - all of us walked away with a free bottle of in-shower moisturizer. Go, health!
Voting is now open for the 2024 Oxford Word of the Year! It's a good batch and difficult to pick a winner. If anything, this inspires me to entitle my (imaginary) first book of poetry Rot, Slop, and Lore.
