Woot, Woot! Oprah to Stay on Television!
Apr 08, 2010 at 10:01 am by Sarah

Come awnnn … Did you really think you could get rid of the World’s Greatest Humanitarian-Ever-in-Life that easily?

Oprah Winfrey’s taking her talk show skills to nighttime programming!

The transition was announced earlier today when reps for the big O confirmed that she’ll be be hosting a show on her new network (the Oprah Winfrey Network, that is) called “Oprah’s New Chapter.”

The show has the same kind of concept as all other talk shows, really: Oprah claims that the show will center around “having conversations with the people we all want to hear from, in some very unexpected places.” The unexpected places are said to include “the Taj Mahal to her beloved oak tree, the Great Wall to her own teahouse.”

… Oprah has her own teahouse, too? Damn. I should’ve known.

Well, I suppose it’s fitting. She can still do what she’s been doing best for the last few decades — making people fall asleep. This time, it’ll be during a more appropriate time slot than 4 in the afternoon, and good, ’cause damn, those mid-afternoon naps really wipe my ass out.

    Humanitarian? I think you meant philanthropist.

    Either way, I disagree. Everything she does is predicated on money. She’s rich as shit, she can afford to donate enough cash to make most people gasp, but it’s chump change to her, doesn’t put a dent in her lifestyle, and is as much part of an image-building campaign as it is altruistic.

    Oh, and the whole point of her new shitty show is to enable her to travel more with business tax breaks.

    Yay! She’ll be way easier to avoid if she’s confined to her own channel.

    Oh, that’s too bad, I was really looking forward to her show ending. Hopefully, she will at least end her horrible magazine first. I am sick and tired of her face on the cover every month haunting me while I am in line at the grocery store.

    So sick of this bland piece of televised play-doh. Bring back the old Indian chieftan TV-test-pattern, it’s far more insightful and entertaining.
