If my end goal is to be a TV personality and sell products like Dr. Oz or that one dude on The Doctors that my grandmother inexplicably watches 5 days a week, what specialty should I chose?
I think Dr. Oz is a cardiothoracic surgeon? Sanjay Gupta is a neuro-surgeon. Better study up!
Are you seriously asking this question? This is a somewhat childish thread. What you're asking is akin to asking what's the best job to have on the side when trying to become a movie star. You might as well have said "I want to be like Edward Norton in the movies my grandmother watches every Friday night, how do I do this?" Luck, circumstances, timing--these are all variables that go into becoming a TV personality. There is no magical residency. Dr. Drew is internal medicine. You have to happen to run into/know/be sought out by someone who works in the television industry, who happens to need a doctor for their show. There is no set path you can take. And your chances of success are almost zero. (Just like becoming the next Brad Pitt).
