Oprah Winfrey's Final Farewell To Feature Only One Special Guest

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (1)

Oprah Winfrey’s final farewell will reportedly feature only one special guest: Oprah Winfrey herself. After airing her two part farewell surprise extravaganza, Oprah will settle for one more day with her viewers alone. No Tom Hanks, Will and Jada Smith, Madonna, Beyonce and all the others that were present at Oprah’s “Surprise Oprah! A Farewell Spectacular” event.

According to Associated Press, Oprah will share her life lesson and revist old clips. An attendee of the final show which will air May 25th said this,

“It was just her the whole time, a recap of what she believed in, what we’ve given her as viewers and what she hopes she has given us.

While Oprah may end her show on an intimate note with herself and her fans her two-day celebration will no doubt have the last word of this finale week. Celebrity after celebrity had wonderful things to say about the talk show queen. Madonna had this to share about Oprah,

“It’s no secret that millions of people are inspired by Oprah,’ she said. ‘I am one of those people … She fights for things she believes in, even if it makes her unpopular … I have learned so much from her.

She’s a self-made woman who’s been at the top of her game for over 25 years – and she’s still kicking ass, I vow to be more courageous and never give up…. Thank you for inspiring me.”

What will you miss most about the Oprah Winfrey Show?

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
