Dr. Mehmet Oz guest hosted from March 22 to April 2, but many former competitors weren't happy about it.
Over 500 former competitors signed a petition calling for the network to remove Dr. Oz as a guest host, according to Entertainment Weekly.
"Dr. Oz stands in opposition to everything that Jeopardy! stands for," the letter read. "Jeopardy! is a show that values facts and knowledge. Throughout his nearly two decades on television he has used his authority as a doctor to push harmful ideas onto the American public, in stark contrast with his oath to first do no harm."
As Insider previously reported, Oz has shared a number of false or misleading claims in the past, including that hydroxychloroquine, the anti-malarial drug once touted by former President Donald Trump, could be effective at treating COVID-19, even though it is not.
