Primetime Oprah?

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!
