The Oprah Winfrey Show

Well, good news.

You just joined the Oprah Winfrey Show.

Check under your chair.

Shut up.

And she is the New York Times bestselling author.

She is a former sex, love, and relationship therapist on The Oprah Winfrey Show, a host of multiple television programs.

I knew about her and her story.

Long before I interviewed her, in February of 2021, her life forever changed when her 16-year-old son passed away after being sold a fentanyl-laced drug on Snapchat.

Today's guest is Oprah Winfrey.

It's been 15 years since The Oprah Show ended.

Her media empire has grown from print in a production studio to owning her own TV network and now a podcast series.

In this episode, Oprah discusses key lessons from her early job, shares her top career advice, and reveals what lies ahead in her next act.

I gotta do this and do that.

So stepping into owning a network and trying to build a network, was a lot of strife and struggle for me because I did not know what I was doing.

I was really good at being on air and doing the Oprah show every day.

But now, starting from scratch with an infrastructure of building a whole different kind of company, what I really should have done is what I'm telling everybody else to do, is to take the time to fill your way to the next right thing.

Welcome, Colin.

We've known each other for decades and Colin appeared on the Oprah Winfrey show, y'all.

17 times.

That's how much we liked him.

Through the late 1980s and into the 1990s, Stacker became a primary fixture in Chicago broadcast announcing.

His most visible daily assignment was serving as the promotional and continuity announcer for the Oprah Winfrey Show.

Yeah, isn't that pretty crazy? Going from Oprah Winfrey to Halo.

That's a pretty interesting transition, I'm not going to lie.

Produced out of Chicago's Harpo Studios, the show was the undisputed rating leader of daytime television.

Everyone wanted to watch the Oprah Winfrey show.

It was definitely one of the more popular things people liked to watch.

And every weekday, Stacker's Voice introduced segments, framed upcoming interview topics, and delivered station identification bumpers to television sets across the country.

Mary fought to regain custody of her daughters.

At one point, she appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show.

She used the program both to tell her version of what she claimed had happened inside the marriage and to defend her right to regain custody of the girls.

In August 2008, the two sides reached an informal agreement.

The podcast is just the latest in several efforts they've made to spread their message and fundraise, using the media to their advantage.

Like going on the Oprah Winfrey Show.
