Special Guest Drives Record Attendance!
For those of you who missed it, we had the pleasure of having Dr. Mehmet Oz on our monthly Vemma Call last night! Even though we didn’t announce who the speaker was in advance, Vemma was representing in a BIG way! In fact we broke the all-time attendance record for our monthly call! One of the things Dr. Oz commented on was Saturday Night Live’s recent parody of “The Dr. Oz Show” which aired last Saturday night. For those who didn’t see the skit, please click here to watch.
It’s wonderful to see that our long-time good friend, Dr. Oz, has now sky-rocketed to the position of having the #1 talk show in America, and the fact that his show was parodied on Saturday Night Live certainly means that his show has become part of the fabric of America!
We thank Dr. Oz for joining us, and we wish him continued success!
