Primetime Oprah?

Filed under: TV News > Oprah Winfrey > Jay Leno

wenn2116129-ow.jpg

Some time ago, the Peacock network had another person in mind for a prime time talk show slot besides Jay Leno: Oprah Winfrey!

Yes, the lady of daytime almost made it to late night.

But when NBC approached Winfrey about the opportunity, she turned them down, suggesting she might have considered it earlier in her career, but not now.

Smart move.

Housewives usually fall asleep early. She would have never stayed as big as she is (and we mean ratings-wise) if she had moved to prime time!

    staid  /steɪd/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [steyd] Show IPA ,

    My guess is you meant "stayed"

    Oprah, since no one else has the guts to tell you, I will: Not saying you should always wear black, brown and navy blue at that size, but please do not ever wear that color again until you lose some weight. You look like a giant pumpkin.



  7. 7

    staid?? seriously, this is the 2nd time this week i see that you spelled that word wrong.



  8. 8

    Staid? Journalist?….Boooooohahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

    Hey you dumb shit. Spell check can only help you so much, you still have to be responsible for what you write. Were you born in this country? Did you graduate from high school? Did you go to college?



  10. 10

    You freaking idiot, I don't know ONE housewife who goes to bed early! They saty awake until everyone else goes to bed. You obviously have no respect for them either. And if you are going by your own Mother, well you should look elsewhere, because she did an extroidinarily bad job in raising your fucked-up ass.

    Ugh, she's so big and she desperately needs a breast reduction. How are you supposed to work out with those things in your way?



  17. 17

    What do you know about housewives falling asleep early? The only time I have to get anything done around the house (laundry, cleaning, time to myself, planning meals, etc..) is when everyone else is asleep. I'm up at 5 am and NEVER asleep before 11:00, usually after midnight. And I know I'm not alone

    APE-rah…does she really think that by dressing in that hideous orange dress that she can distract the public from her HEINOUS face?
    .
    .
    Ape-rah is nothing but an obese nigglet who victimizes women to enhance her warped sense of reality!
    .
    .
    BTW…I highly doubt that she was ever sexually abused as a child…she was just another revolting example of a woman using a "negative" situation to gain sympathy from the masses…she was never raped…you cannot rape the willing! There has been ZERO substantiation of facts regarding her rape/abuse…nothing verified, nothing challenged…DISGUSTING! Rape/etc is a horrible situation…she's making a mockery of all the actual rape/abuse victims. APE-rah is a SCAM!
    .
    .
    Just because we see her nasty nigglet-mug on a daily basis doesn't mean that she's at all "beautiful, stunning, attractive, etc!"…it just means we've become accustomed to her heinous appearance! RICH DOES NOT EQUATE BEAUTY!!!
    .
    .
    now…does anyone have Ape-rah's mailing address?…I have some bananas that I'd like to send her…and just ’cause I'm a NICE giving person, I'll send along a nice brown bag for her to wear over her chimpanzee nigglet head!

    KISSES! :)

    NOOOO-PRAH!



  22. 22

    Once again. You rip a woman, and mentioned her weight. No wonder gay women don't like gay men. Maybe if she was CUBAN fat and straight she would be ok?



  23. 23

    i don't like Oprah. point blank and simple.



  24. 24

    i think what is in oprah's head is what counts and not her weight. Shadupp!
