The Oprah Winfrey Show, often referred to simply as Oprah, is an American syndicated talk show that aired nationally for 25 seasons from 1986 to 2011. Produced and hosted by its namesake, Oprah Winfrey, it remains the highest-rated talk show in American television history. The show was highly influential, and many of its topics penetrated into the American pop-cultural consciousness. Winfrey used the show as a platform to teach and inspire, providing viewers with a positive, spiritually uplifting experience by featuring book clubs, compelling interviews, self-improvement segments, and philanthropic forays into world events. The show gained credibility by not trying to profit off the products it endorsed; it had no licensing agreement with retailers when products were promoted, nor did the show make any money from endorsing books for its book club. Oprah is one of the longest-running daytime television talk shows in history. The show received 47 Daytime Emmy Awards before Winfrey decided to stop submitting it for consideration in 2000.

Andrew

Occasionally ok if a good guest is organised but generally fairly dull. I never quite understood the enormity of Oprah's fame and success.

Talia

The Ophra Winfrey show, we all know exactly what it is

Taylor Wilcoxson

Appreciated some of the stories and guests, but felt like it was mostly for gossip and trying to show off being a humanitarian.

AYC

Not a talk show I ever got into. Don't care much for Oprah and never understood the hype regarding her. She just doesn't appeal to me 🤷‍♀️

Olitina

When it first came out it was cool but it ran for too long

Alan.John.Gerstle

Always had the feeling Oprah secretly felt superior to her audience- seemed to have a tinge of phoniness.
