Biography
Adams was born in Middletown, Ohio and graduated from Harvard University and Ohio State University as a physician. He is the author of Everything Women of Color Should Know About Cosmetic Surgery, published by St Martin's Press in 2000. He has also appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show.
A source in the records department said Adams completed his academic requirements, but Harvard never handed over a diploma. "He would have received it in March 1977, but due to something he needs to resolve with the school, he didn't get it," the source said.
In 2004, Adams was co-host of Cosmetic Surgery Live, a British television program and Plastic Surgery Before & After on the Discovery Health Channel, and was a co-host on The Other Half, a male-centric syndicated clone of The View during the 2001-02 season.
He was also a contestant on a special celebrity edition of The Weakest Link. He made it the final round but lost to Danny Bayne and Susan McFadden.
