Stephen Colbert mocks Dr. Oz's cabinet appointment in comedic segment

Stephen Colbert humorously criticized President-elect Donald Trump's selection of Dr. Mehmet Oz for overseeing Medicaid and Medicare. On November 19, Colbert joked about Trump's trend of choosing TV personalities for cabinet roles, highlighting Oz's lack of relevant qualifications. Colbert mocked Oz's nine Daytime Emmy Awards, questioning their relevance to managing the medical system. He also referenced Oz's promotion of questionable medical treatments, suggesting that seniors might lose Medicare but gain a "Nana Smurf" instead. Colbert continued his satire by targeting Sean Duffy, nominated as Secretary of Transportation, noting his TV background rather than congressional experience. He ended by jokingly asking for a job offer from Trump, proposing an ambassadorship to a tropical location.
