Fare thee well, Oprah. (CBS News) For legions of fans once showered with cars, trips and the opportunity to get up-close-and-personal with one of America?s most recognizable television personalities on ?The Oprah Winfrey Show,? it?s the end of the road.�
The Post?s Dan Zak wrote the official ?showbituary? this morning and had no trouble finding viewers who?d speak about the soon-to-be dearly departed program. In fact, 26-year-old to D.C. resident Jennifer Christian said she couldn?t remember a time without Oprah on her screen.
?She?s a strong female role model who transcends generations, ? Christian said.�And so Winfrey?s final weeks have been fitting of her larger-than-life personality. Celebrities have been�stopping by�during the show?s final tapings to pay tribute. Snapshots we?ve stored in our collective memories over the past 25 years ?�the wagon of fat, Tom Cruise on that yellow couch, the shoooooooutting of the names ? are swirling around in conversation once again.
It?s the end of an era. What?s your favorite Oprah moment?�How well do you really know her? And how opulent will the celebration get? Tell us by using #Oprahsgoodbye on Twitter or in the comments below.
