  • I really don't see what the difference is between Oprah and other talk show hosts; but, I sincerely doubt it.

  • Success at what?

    By MZ , Posted November 20, 2009 7:10 AM

  • Probably. The people that watch her routinely will be looking for something to fill the void. It may take a long time though.

  • @ MZ -
    At her success in bringing the Olympics to Chicago, of course. Did you see any other talk show host sit beside The Awesome Ones in Copenhagen?

  • Absolutely, all the bon-bon eating couch slobs will be pining for the next man hater to tell that they are the queens of the world.

  • Hmmm. Let me look into my crystal ball.

  • Sure. Maybe Oprah is having her last show in 2011 because she is planning on running for president in 2012. Makes you wonder why she is quitting in 2011.

  • Sure there will -- someone else will fill the void once she leaves. She is not all that unique that someone else can't do it. Though it might take some time for the audience to build back up.

  • @LOL: "Makes you wonder why she is quitting in 2011."

    My guess is that she not really leaving-- just moving to her new cable channel she is starting. Also, maybe she has contractual obligations that necessitate having her stay until 2011. Who knows? Leno also had annouced his leaving years in advance...

  • I doubt the media moguls want another Oprah around--too expensive and too powerful. She built her credibility over 25 years and that's hard to replace with her audience.

  • Yes, but the show will be broadcast from Shanghai and have a Chinese host. Ni hao chung gwo!

  • God I hope not

  • I can see Tyra getting there. What is Oprah....50 something now. Sure Tyra will still be in Talk Show Business in 25 years!
