VIDEO: Tearful Oprah Announces Decision
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Daytime, Talk Shows, Syndication, Oprah Winfrey Show, News, Video,
This is how you make an anti-climatic statement.
After waiting until the very end of today’s broadcast to formally announce her already-leaked decision, Oprah Winfrey offered very little to her audience (aside from tears) that we haven’t already heard. Although she said she wanted to the viewers to hear the message “directly” from her, she never once did end the “conjecture” or “speculation” about her future.
Is it possible the talk show has no idea what she’ll be doing two years from now? Is she simply going to take a break and just go with the flow? Well, considering she’s in the process of starting OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network, that’s highly doubtful. Besides—who’s going to keep Gayle King employed?
You can read Oprah’s full statement after the jump.

The Oprah Winfrey Show to End in 2011
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Daytime, Talk Shows, Syndication, Oprah Winfrey Show, Cancellations, News,
It looks as if 25 will be Oprah Winfrey’s lucky number.
In a meeting with her staff members today, Winfrey officially announced that her daytime talk show will turn off the lights in two years. That same news will be delivered on her program tomorrow. The 2011 end date means The Oprah Winfrey Show will close after celebrating its silver anniversary.
This decision comes after weeks of increased speculation about her future. It has been rumored for some time that Oprah would simply take the show out of syndication and bring in to OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network.

Sneak Peek: Sarah Palin’s Interview with Oprah
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Daytime, Talk Shows, Syndication, Oprah Winfrey Show, Gossip, Video,
Carrie Prejean, take notes. This is how your “hero” Sarah Palin addresses difficult questions.
Based on snippets released, it appears the long-awaited interview between Oprah Winfrey and the former Alaskan governor was a lot less tense than some may have feared. The chat, which covered a number of topics, will air one day before Palin’s book, Going Rogue, is released.

Oprah Snags Sarah Palin Interview
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Daytime, Talk Shows, Syndication, Oprah Winfrey Show, Gossip, News,
Oh what a difference a year makes.
Two of the biggest female names of 2008 will finally be sitting down for a chat in 2009. Mark your calendars: November 16 will be the date Sarah Palin has her first one-on-one with Oprah Winfrey.
Before last November’s elections, Oprah - who publicly endorsed Barack Obama - had been accused of showing favoritism because she chose not to welcome the VP candidate on her show. Winfrey’s reason? She didn’t want to use her program as a political platform. (Although President Obama had been a guest on her program, his appearances came before he decided to run for office.) Unfortunately, Oprah’s explanation didn’t satisfy many of her female fans.

Tyson and Holyfield to Reunite in Oprah’s Ring
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Daytime, Talk Shows, Syndication, Oprah Winfrey Show, Gossip, Video,
Oprah Winfrey really knows how to milk her ratings cows. Recently, we’ve seen her interviews with Whitney Houston and Mackenzie Phillips stretch out over two separate hours. Now, Mike Tyson is getting his Round 2.
This Friday, the former heavyweight champion will be sharing the stage with a very special guest: Evander Holyfield. Yes, that would be the same boxer Tyson bit - twice - during their June 1997 fight.

VIDEO: Nancy Grace Gets Inside Jon Gosselin’s Motives
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Talk Shows, Syndication, Gossip, Video,
Nancy Grace took the gloves off on The Insider recently when Jon Gosselin arrived on the set. The former lawyer interrogated Gosselin, seriously putting the father of eight on the spot.
At one point, Grace snidely commented on the companion Jon brought with him to the show. “Oh you’ve got your lawyer here, you’re afraid to answer questions? Whatever.”
“Why don’t you just quit arguing and work on your marriage, would that be a better idea?” She fired out to Gosselin.
All in all, it was pretty good TV. Grace really put the screws to Jon Gosselin, and audiences actually got to see him do a bit of squirming. Watch the video above for more.
