What sexy TV doc will be doing house calls in your home come October? I can exclusively reveal that Top Billing presenter Michael Mol is set to join SABC3's brand new lifestyle morning show when the as-yet-untitled (viewers will get to choose the name soon) show debuts on weekdays from Monday, October 4 at 05:30 on SABC3.
Sources close to the production tells me Michael Mol, the suave and funny jetsetter on the weekly primetime lifestyle magazine show Top Billing, will start to do double duty from October. Top Billing as well as the new show (with the working title Op & Wakker) are produced by the Cape Town based Tswelopele Productions and Michael Mol - a qualified doctor in real life - will appear on both shows from October.
''Michael Mol is going to have a regular medical spot on the show,'' quips an on-set source to me exclusively. ''Medical reviews will form part of the SABC3 breakfast show and who better than Michael Mol to talk to viewers about medical matters who himself is actually a doctor?'' Says another source to me: ''Michael Mol will basically become South Africa's Dr. Oz. He will help viewers with all kinds of medical advice and be discussing medical matters in the morning in a way that ordinary viewers can not just relate to but will actually enjoy watching.'' (The source is referring to the Oprah Winfrey resident doctor on her talk show who branched out with his own talk show recently.)
