Yesterday on Jimmy Kimmel Live, he had a preview for the sequel to Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Phantom of the Opera, Phantom of the Oprah! After watching that preview I can’t wait to see it! I especially can’t wait to hear the Tom Cruise I’m Bouncin’ song in its entirety.
In all seriousness, my hats are off to the writers of JKL! for coming up with a such a brilliant bit and the actors for executing it so perfectly!
Tonight at 12:05a on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live, he will be interviewing Steven Seagal.
Before Oprah Winfrey had her own show to end, she was an anchor at WJZ in Baltimore, MD. What a difference a few hundred million made on her looks and styles as compared to when she was 27 years old back in 1981.

As promised Oprah Winfrey announced that she will be ending her show on September 9, 2011 to head up her OWN network for Discovery. So for all you people who feel like chickens with your heads cut off, OWN will launch in January of 2011 so you will twice the Oprah for almost 9 months and then you will have her for 24 hours a day. So relax, it will all be OK until December 21, 2012 according to the Mayans!!!
Oprah Winfrey will announce tomorrow on The Oprah Winfrey Show that she will be ending her show on September 9th, 2011 after 25 years!!! James Hibberd posted the letter that was sent out to the stations that run her show about her announcement and here it is…
Dear Friends:
Over the past several weeks, my team and I have had conversations with many of you to help address your questions about the future of “The Oprah Winfrey Show.” Of course, the one question we couldn’t answer was the one that only Oprah could. And tomorrow, she will do just that.
But before she speaks to her loyal viewers, we wanted to share her decision first with you – our valued partners for more than two decades.
Tomorrow, Oprah will announce live on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” that she has decided to end what is arguably one of the most popular, influential and enduring programs in television history. The sun will set on the “Oprah” show as its 25th season draws to a close on September 9, 2011.
We welcome you to share this news this evening with your colleagues and viewers. As we all know, Oprah’s personal comments about this on tomorrow’s live show will mark an historic television moment that we will all be talking about for years to come.
We want to thank you for the partnership and friendship we have shared over the years. Your invaluable support has helped us to create the phenomenon of the “Oprah Show” that we’ve all been so proud to be a part of for the last 24 years. My staff and I will be calling all of you directly tonight and tomorrow. We look forward to speaking with you.
And, if you think the last quarter century has been something, then “don’t touch that dial” as together we plan to make history in the next 20 months…and beyond.
I say good riddance! But there are so many people who will have a hole in their lives because they rely on her show to tell them what to read and eat and how their sh!t should look in the toilet. But I guess they should find some relief in the knowledge that she is ending her show after 25 years to have her OWN network with Discovery. So they get her 24 hours a day.
What will CBS’s King World do with their money maker? Right now you can hear them all sh!tting a brick over her announcement!!!
Is Oprah Winfrey giving up her syndicated talk show to save her cable network OWN? According to Nikki Finke, “the Discovery Communications chief David Zaslav has demanded that Oprah ‘move it or lose it’ — move her talk show to OWN, or risk losing the Oprah Winfrey Network altogether.” She added that she will make an announcement in the near future that she will be ending her show in 2011 and move it to her OWN cable network. She also said that Oprah was suppose to tell the head of CBS last month her decision whether or not she was going to renew her show, but has cancelled all of their meetings. If she decides to cancel her syndicated show it will be a big loss to CBS Television Distribution because it is the #1 syndicated program and will hurt them financially.
Personally I wouldn’t miss her because I never got her show or her popularity, but I know I am in the minority. Would you miss her show if it were just on cable?
