“The Imposter Doctor Con” – In 2015, authorities took the baby-faced 17-year-old Malachi Love-Robinson into custody for roaming the halls and patients’ rooms of the OB-GYN department at a West Palm Beach, Florida, hospital. The hospital didn’t press charges, and they released Love-Robinson with a warning after a mental evaluation. He continued on pursuing his childhood dream of becoming a physician, and a few months later, armed with the West Palm Beach hospital experience, the charismatic smooth-talker opened his own practice with a steadily growing clientele. Authorities arrested him after an undercover operation confirmed that “Dr. Love” had been practicing medicine without a license … once again. “The Imposter Doctor Con,” the season finale of “The Con,” airs FRIDAY, SEPT. 9 (8:00-9:00 p.m. EDT), on ABC and next day on demand and on Hulu.

The ABC News Studios primetime series is narrated by Emmy®, GRAMMY®, Tony® and Oscar® winner and moderator of “The View” Whoopi Goldberg, with weekly appearances by podcaster Laci Mosley (“Scam Goddess”) as a featured expert.

For the series, David Sloan is senior executive producer, and Carrie Cook serves as executive producer for ABC News. Eli Holzman and Aaron Saidman are executive producers for The Intellectual Property Corporation (IPC), a part of Sony Pictures Television, along with executive producer and showrunner John Henshaw.
