Can't this done be sooner PLEASE!!!
Wow! The end of Oprah's show almost coincides with the end of Obama's presidency. It can't come soon enough for either event!
Who cares she ceased to be relevant interesting or watchable as her bank account increased.
Wow...bitter much?
Totally Agree with Gavin.
don't all you haters have anything better to do?!!
Wow. I was thinking I can't imagine a world without Oprah. For as long as I have been alive, Oprah has had her show. It will be missed for sure!
She's taken the show very far beyond the importance that many thought it could obtain. I'm excited to see what she does next.
So she's ending her show...immediately making millions of thankful people across the land happy that she's finally getting off their tv's once and for all...
Only to come right back...and on her OWN GODFORSAKEN NETWORK?!
What a cruel, cruel joke to play O. Isn't 25 years of stinking up America's tv's torture enough?
Now you need to have yourself an entire NETWORK to do it?
She better be careful making statements like "watch us make history" after the show ends. Carson promised to come back with something new after the Tonight show and the best he managed was a cameo on the Simpsons. Jay Leno's attempt at making history is likely to go down as one of the biggest failures in show business history.
