I always thought Debra Wilson from MadTV did a wonderful job of imitating the Oprah yell.
Also, the amount of hairstyles she's had is astounding. Recently I had someone ask me why I can wear my hair in like, 4 different styles in a single week and I just said, there's a lot of versatility with "black" hair. Oprah is evidence of that.
I totally bit Oprah's style and whenever I run into friends or they call me on the phone, I'll be like, "OH MY GOD, IT'S JAAAAAAAANEE DOOOOOOOOOOEEEE! AND JOOOOOHNNN SMIIIIIIIITH!!"
Awesome compilation!
Though, wifers and I were watching the Palin episode last night and I noted how her intro was not anything like above.. it was the most anticlimactic intro she's ever done save for the James Frey schooling...
Oh man, my super secret daydream of one day doing something really remarkable and getting invited on Oprah and introduced in that long, drawn-out-vowels way while a bunch of well-dressed middle class Americans smile and clap is fading away. This hurts.
@yvanehtnioj: I personally daydream of Oprah interrupting me during my story of how I lost my prosthetic limb in a fire that erupted at the orphanage I grew up in to tell the audience about that one time her dog Gracie started a fire and how darned adorable it was.
Ellen Page will produce and write an HBO comedy called Stitch N' Bitch with Alia Shawkat and Sean Tillman. "The show follows two painfully cool hipster girls as they relocate from Brooklyn's Williamsburg neighborhood to Los Angeles' Silver Lake enclave in hopes of becoming artists — of any kind."
@FizzyGood: Hmmm. I am such a nerd that the first thing I thought of was the knitting book series of the same name, whether there would be a tie-in, and whether there was copyright infringement. Sigh.
Also added: I don't care for his movies, but damn do I love Guy Ritchie. A man who seems totally unthreatened by his ex-wife's success? Who speaks so well of her in the press, even though he's been replaced with a pretty boy half his age? All class with this man.
It's almost like he respects the mother of his children, JON GOSSELIN.
