Oprah Winfrey held back tears as she confirmed that her show will end in 2011. The host told her studio audience on Friday (November 20th) that “prayer and careful thought” led her to her decision to finish the show after a quarter of a century.
Oprah said she loved The Oprah Winfrey Show, that it had been her life and that she knew when it was time to say goodbye: “25 years feels right in my bones and feels right in my spirit.”
Oprah talked about being nervous when the program began in 1986, and thanked audiences who had invited her into their homes over the past two decades.
“I certainly never could have imagined the yellow brick road of blessings that would have led me to this moment,” she said.
She said she and her staff were going to brainstorm ideas for the final season of The Oprah Winfrey Show and that she hoped viewers would take “this 18-month ride with me”.
In Season 25, “we are going to knock your socks off,” she said. “The countdown to the end of The Oprah Winfrey Show starts now.”
In January 2008, Winfrey announced that she and Discovery Networks planned to partner on a new cable network: OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network, which is slated to launch the same year she ends her record and groundbreaking talk show.
I am surly going to miss you Oprah Winfrey!!! ” I came from nothing,” Winfrey wrote in the 1998 book “Journey to Beloved.” “No power. No money. Not even my thoughts were my own. I had no free will. No voice. Now, I have the freedom, power, and will to speak to millions every day — having come from nowhere.” —– Oprah
I am grateful her for inspiring me everyday and thank you Oprah! I was one of you when I was a young girl, but now I have found MINE. I hope to be like you ONE DAY. It is hard to imagine she is leaving from the show.
Shall miss you !
I am so glad. Now the masses can get of their asses. Who is going to tell the world what book to read or clothes to wear,who is going to inform the masses when to clap or not clap? If you want to know what the yellow brick road means look it up. I would tell you but I don’t care. This B is a grumpy evil witch. Google the interview where she states she does not beleive in God that she won’t support a jealous God a God who is jealous of her. Google it!! This b is a witch. My question is who is going to run the Masses now? Good bye Harpo beat it this year !!!

The number “25″ represents how many days it takes the sun to perform a complete rotation. These people worship the sun and the sun god Osiris (Oz), or Shiva, or Ra, or whatever you want to call that entity, so I’m sure that this is what she is referring to. Notice that the elite burned Michael Jackson’s scalp at the age of 25 and it initiated his downward spiral. Then he was assassinated at 50, represented the double rotation. In the emblem for her show, the “O” in “Oprah” is in the shape of the “oroboros”, or the divine serpent that devours it’s own tail. In ancient mythology, the oroboros represented the cycle of life and the path of the god of the ancient pagan religions, the sun, because it mimicked the elliptical path the ancients believed the sun took.
@Kyla
Then I’ll let you keep that mystery to yourself. You definitely have some crazy in you lol.
@Sassyt
You’re another nut that follows me around, lol. What’s the deal? You already made it clear that you deal with white men if I remember correctly. Do you have a guilty conscience? Oprah was set up for low self-esteem black women like you to promote hatred of your God, yourself, and your people.
@User
Good website. Thank you.
What I never could understand about Oprah is how she became SO rich. Not that Black people don’t deserve wealth, etc. but it seems odd that someone who is simply a talk show host is worth BILLIONS of dollars (& that was even before she started the magazine, created 3 other broadcast TV shows and bank rolled theater and movie projects).
I’ve always felt in my heart that if a black person is as successful as Oprah is (monetarily) that they HAVE to have given a great sacrifice personally. I know many won’t agree w/ me-but let’s be real. America has a strong tradition of racism, from Presidents all the way down to mayors and ppl in the private sectors. Then all of a sudden, in the early 80′s, everything’s cool and they’re giving Black atheletes, movie stars, and other celebrities big bucks? When maybe six to seven decades ago they were openly lynching black people? Doesn’t make sense.
I hate to say this but Barack Obama was ALLOWED to be President for a reason. And it’s the same reason Oprah was ALLOWED to amass $3 billion dollars. They are beholden to certain ppl for their success, who ask them others to do certain things to keep their position.
I agree w/ Judah that the whole ‘strong black woman’ thing has been played up immensely by people that want to destroy the Black community. I mean, Oprah herself is always speaking about female enpowerment-but what about male enmpowerment? The powers that be know that if many learned, strong Black men got on one accord-that would be trouble for the establishment. So positive Black males aren’t portrayed nearly as much as they should be. It confused when
Oprah decided to open her school ONLY for young girls in Africa-what, African boys don’t need educating? If those girls are to build a stronger South Africa-then boys and girls both have to be involved. The same principle applies here in America.
To me, Oprah isn’t a hero-she’s a modern day house negro, tap dancing for what she can get.
@65
That was very well said. A lot of people on here have no idea what the yellow brick road comment was about…
It is so sad that so many people will not make it to heaven because they are brainwashed and worshipping these “celebrities.” I stopeed watchinh Oprah a long time ago and Im only 26…I always felt that she was a sellout….but now I KNOW that she is a sellout….to something sinister and evil. Because of people like Judah and Toons I now know what is going on and I try to tell any and all that will listen…
Its not just Oprah…theres Jay-Z, Beyonce, Rihanna, Keri Hilson, and the list goes on and on. I just thank God that I was never into any of these people heavily and that I became knowledgeable before it was too late. Once you do a little reasearch on the topics that Judah speaks of such as mk-ultra, monarch programming, Boule, Anton LeVay, Occultism, helter skelter, back-masking and much more you will understand. And now that I have begun to attain knowledge on the enemy I have attained a better insight in what I read in the bible and it makes so much more sense. I have committed my life to God, the Most High, the only true I AM. Any other I AM is a false God…I can only hope and pray that more people will open their eyes and pray for that veil to be lifted…When Judgement Day comes saying “Lord I didnt know” wont be enough to save you from the lake of fire…but on the bright sode all of the “stans” on this site can be in the same place as their idols.
Going out with a bang! Love you Oprah!
Gone head Oprah!!!!!
Retiring when you’re on top is the best way!!!!…
I’ve got mad love and respect for Oprah!
And now she’s getting her own network??…WOW this woman is something else!!
Congrats Oprah darling!!!
@ H-TOWNMAMA..
I really appreciate your post. I’m roughly the same age as you, and i must say, that ive learnt a great deal from the likes of Judah, websites and even you tube.
I thank God everyday as well, for allowing the veil of blindness to be lifted away from my eyes. Its made it easier for me to understand the bible as well. But it really saddens me, when i see people that are living in darkness, and are not willing to seek the truth.
Jesus said we should be fishers of men.. But how can we, when most people are so obsessed with idolizing their gods.. Any statement made , ends up in – ‘Your jealous, you must be ugly ‘ and so on… Where do we start..
I commend Judah, because he has a lot of facts and knowledge to back himself.
He speaks out, even though, people are always ready to lash out at him..
@ Judah, please continue to educate us.. and Im happy that you have a great sense of humour with your knowledge..
I really cant stop laughing…
my comment was removed. smh. it was the truth. Angela they will soon make you dissable these comments. Ppl are voicing the truth, and learning and that is unwanted.
girl you better watch out for your life. the faux glamour will get you nowhere but hell.
To everyone else leave the white man and his sinful ways devour himself, do not get caught up. Let his lies, corruption, blasphemous lifestyle,devour him. For he is the child of his father satan. You are chosen. and no matter what he has planned for you, your father in heaven the true architect of life, will set you free. All truth will comeout. GOD is God, he is going to set his chosen ones free very soon. Oprah is a Liar! She is anti christ. Nothing but a damn shame. Let us rejoice, what she and her masters have planned for evil God will use for good.
We will see ppl being set free from the bondage of the lifestyles Oprahs show was meant to imprison. Like no other time in history. Wake up. we are loved
