oprah winfrey show, oprah winfrey The Oprah Winfrey Show has to be one of the most successful talk shows on television. Her gifts as a television journalist are staggering, and we are fortunate that she broke into her television career as early as she did, so that we have had the benefit of having the Oprah Winfrey Show on the air for 22 years. She has brought a standard to talk shows that other hosts probably admire and admire and emulate. The Oprah Winfrey Show is diverse, relatively balanced, and is sometimes controversial in the topics that they present.

A book selected for an Oprah Book Club selection will sell millions of copies, and the Oprah Magazine has a huge subscription base and is in all the grocery store magazine selections. She gets 20,000 emails a day, and her website, oprah.com, gets 6 million visits a month. Her staff to read emails must be huge. She is one of the greatest philanthropists of our time, and is the richest black woman on the earth. Oprah has come a long ways from her early roots in poverty, and is truly someone who deserves our admiration for rising from a childhood no one would want to a mature life that most of us can only imagine.
