Oprah's most beautiful and most viewed interviews
Of course, the interview with Harry and Meghan can be considered quite a success in terms of viewership. 50 million people watched it, and if you missed it, you were probably living under a rock. Oprah received some corrective nudges here and there for not being critical enough and for being a less competent interviewer. I would like to point out some masterpieces of Oprah that we will never forget.
1. Michael Jackson
Oprah received him at Neverland and revealed ‘everything’. Well, not everything-everything, but certainly about plastic surgery, his struggle with vitiligo, and his difficult relationship with his father. It was watched by 90 million people.
2. Ellen's coming out
Ellen's character in her comedy show was gay, but she came out during an interview with Oprah.
3. The lovestruck Tom Cruise
Jumping on that couch and being in love. Katie Holmes was sitting somewhere in the makeup room watching, and who else but Oprah thought of having Tom call Katie?
4. Lance Armstrong admits his doping
Brilliant setup by Oprah, who briefly goes over what they agreed upon (to tell everything honestly and that anything can be asked) and then fires a barrage of questions at him that he can only answer with yes or no. Man to man, word for word, so he admits everything. And the next day he immediately loses a sponsorship deal worth 75 million.
5. Sarah Ferguson who wasn't allowed to have a fridge
Sarah Ferguson (the ex-wife of Prince Andrew) talks about how she lived in Buckingham Palace. That she wasn't allowed to open the window wide (because all the palace windows must be opened to the same position), couldn't have high-wattage lamps (that also had to radiate uniformity from the outside), and that they didn't have a fridge in their living area. Meals were at fixed times; snacking in between didn't exist.
6. Whitney Houston open about drug use
And she reveals that the misery actually stemmed from the fact that Bobby Brown was jealous of her success.
What I will never forget? That she gave the man who lost 150 pounds a Porsche because he always dreamed of fitting into a Porsche. That she lost 34 pounds and rolled her lost fat in a cart into the studio, that she gave live bra advice to women, that she cried during a conversation with a woman who has 92 personalities, that she danced with Tina Turner, and that she divided the audience of the show based on eye color and treated them differently to give them an idea of the feeling of racism. Oprah, you may not have been super critical with Meghan and Harry, but I still love you.
