Liveblog: Oprah's Final Show
LatestMost of us have grown up with Oprah Winfrey, not as just some lady on daytime TV but as an institution. After 4561 shows she says goodbye today.
4:05 So far, O is just recounting how she left Baltimore to come to Chicago, interspersed with clips of her first shows. Here she is making chili with her first guests. She said at first there was no audience, which she realized was a mistake.
4:10 “Today there will be no guests, there will be no makeovers, no surprises, you will not be getting a car or a treat. This last hour is really about me saying, ‘Thank you.’ It is my love letter to you.”
4:11 I dunno, I feel like this picture on the right is kind of a treat.
4:14 Steadman is in the audience.
4:15 The theme of today’s show—and I guess Oprah in general—is “everybody has a calling.” With an emphasis on the fact that we all won’t get as rich as O answering our calling.
4:21 This whole show is like being in church. I feel like someone is preaching to me and all I wanna do is put slip a book in my missalette. There Oprah goes again, always making people want to read.
