We thought the ride would never end, but a startling announcement from one of television's most beloved icons has stunned her many fans.
Yes, I am afraid it's true. Oprah Winfrey's syndicated talk show is about to fade into the sunset.
In September 2011, you'll no longer be able to tune in to see Oprah and best friend Gayle decide the best sandwich in America or listen to another story about her dogs' latest antics or find out what book you need to read to enlighten your spirit.
I personally am disappointed, primarily because I was hoping to score tickets for one of those "Oprah's Favorites" shows where she gives tons of high end gifts to audience members for free.
Seriously, though, this woman has been extremely influential during her television run. Powerfully so. Legions of women follow every New Age guru she promotes, select what they wear and eat and buy based upon her recommendations, etc. If you were ever fortunate enough to have her tout your product or book on her show, you could be sure that huge bucks would follow.
Oprah was the center of our universe and now she is leaving us. Why,oh,why couldn't it have been Dr. Phil or that Wendy Williams chick instead?
Oh,man, I feel so abandoned!
