Riaad Moosa debuts in the new medical talk show Doctor’s Orders that airs on Fridays at 15h45 on SABC3.
The doctor-turned-comedian is best known for his stand-up comedy and more recently his role in the hit movie Material which earned him a SAFTA (South African Film and Television Award) as best actor this year.
New presenter Moosa qualified as a medical doctor, but chose to follow a career in comedy, a story which inspired Material. He takes over from Dr Michael Mol who has left the show to pursue his passion for broader health education.
Of his new role, Moosa says: “I am going to be stepping into the shoes of a role model of mine. I have the utmost respect and admiration for Michael, and hope to be able to build on what Michael has achieved.’
Doctor’s Orders is produced by Tswelopele Productions.
