@unclevanya: Thank you. The woman is not retiring. Instead of being on one hour a day and distributing one magazine a month, she will now have an entire 24-hour cable channel on which to proselytize.
@unclevanya: I KNOW. I keep saying this one posts about her "quitting her show". She's only quitting her NETWORK show, even insiders say she will likely have a very similar show on the Oprah Winfrey Network.
I think people just think it makes a good story and are ignoring the obvious.
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.
@Vivien Smith-Smythe-Smith: I have never liked Rachel Ray's persona on her show 30 Minute Meals. (See my comments on Jezebel's first post that mentioned this Martha / RR exchange as an example.) But I am really impressed with the way she handled that, too. I wish I'd watched that before my earlier comments.
@RenoDakota: We don't get Rachel Ray in NZ (at least, I don't think we do), but I always admire someone who can avoid rising to the bait, as she managed exceptionally well to, here
Listen Insider, I'm more surprised when Spencer Pratt: 1. Spells things correctly, and 2. Says decent, sensible things. Let me know when those things happen, OK?
