The Other Half is an American daytime talk show produced for broadcast syndication by NBC Studios, which aired from 2001 to 2003, mainly on NBC's owned-and-operated stations but syndicated to markets outside those in which NBC owned a station. The show was hosted by Dick Clark, actors Danny Bonaduce and Mario Lopez, and cosmetic surgeon Dr. Jan Adams, who was later replaced by actor Dorian Gregory. [1]

It was intended as a male counterpart to the popular ABC talk show The View [2] [3] and, despite its inability to find an audience, it earned a few Emmy Award nominations.[ specify ]

Broadcast syndication is the practice of content owners leasing the right to broadcast their content to other television stations or radio stations, without having an official broadcast network to air it on. It is common in the United States where broadcast programming is scheduled by television networks with local independent affiliates.

Shows can be syndicated internationally, although this is less common.
