Oprah Announces New Primetime Show Called 'Oprah's Next Chapter'

By PopEater Staff Posted Apr 8th 2010 09:45AM

Don't worry, Oprah isn't going anywhere. Although she's giving up her daytime program, the queen of talk will host a new evening show on her network -- OWN, The Wall Street Journal reports.

The Oprah Winfrey Network made the announcement today. The new series will be an hour long show titled 'Oprah's Next Chapter' and is set to debut sometime in 2011.

Part of what Winfrey will be doing is traveling outside the studio, to places like Egypt and China. "I'm going to take viewers with me, going to take celebrities I want to interview with me," she said. A statement from the network read that Oprah will be "getting untethered from the chairs, opening up her world and taking you with her," PEOPLE reports.

'Chapter' will feature "riveting conversations with the people we all want to hear from, in some very unexpected places."

Other new programs that will appear on the network include 'Visionaries: Inside the Creative Mind,' which showcases celebrities such Lady Gaga and James Cameron and a reality series following country superstar Shania Twain called 'Why Not? With Shania Twain.' And of course, Oprah's BFF Gayle King has her own 'Gayle King Live!'

Winfrey even has reality super-producer Mark Burnett on board for 'Your Own Show: Oprah's Search for the Next TV Star.'

Last November, Oprah tearfully told her faithful audience that in 2011, 'The Oprah Winfrey Show' will go off the air.

"Twenty-five years feels right in my bones and feels right in my spirit," she said at the time.

Money is not the problem. Skip the jealous stuff and understand that some people like a new challenge and she has the right to be as rich as she wants. I bet she pays more tax than you.

Jealously is a sin my friend, Oprah is an amasing person, although she is finially set, she does help others and brings "good" to this evil world...

By Beverly

I'm not an Oprah fan, but if she is making so much money from us "white folks", why do you watch? Oprah's show has always been on in the day time. I work during the day. If you are fortunate enough not to have to work then volunteer at a hospital or shelter. Doing something worthwhile will make you feel better about yourself and you won't have to hate someone who is better off than you and of a different race.

I soooooooooo much agree with you. It's a sad world out there, so many unhappy people and you wonder where the parents are or how their raised.

By Bonbon

does Oprah like any white people except white celebrities?

By carmina

Like Leno, enough. We're bored. Move on and help the world with your philanthropy.

By Debbie

Um excuse me but what were the tears all about when she announced she was retiring? Simply proves she's a fake. The only person to say he was retiring and meant it was Johnny Carson. Take a lesson Oprah.

By Jackie Butler

Oh hooo Debbie! Good one and soooo very true!

Ew sooo many haters. She's helping the world idiots! So made how ignorant everyone is. If there is no Oprah what will we be watching The Hills all the time. Lame. Get cultured everyone.

By greyhoundy

Jennifer.....you should read your post again & be more aware of who you call an idiot.

She is helping the world????? Look at who she help put into office and the HUGE mess this country is now. I am just as angry at Oprah and our leader. Her arrogance during the campaign was sickening and her act like a know it all calling him "the one" to large groups of people was out of line in my opinion. Her fame and money have taken her down a wrong road. Hollywood friends are certainly not impressive

By Motorpro

How has she helped the world?

Oh that's right Jennifer. Oprah is the almighty helper of the world. No, we aren't idiots as you've called us, but you are certainly gullible. Check out who she tries to help. I don't recall it being any Americans. Everything is outside of the US.
I also seem to recall years ago when she was a guest on David Letterman and she pulled out the racist card almost right away. You could see the confused look on Dave's face.
I can't stand the woman and hope she goes far far away and I hope her new show fails big time.

By Coleen

People with limited intelligence can't understand the good she does. They would rather hate because someone on TV or the radio has told them to do so. It is so pathetic.
