Oprah May Save the Biggest Star in the World for Her Final Guest
It's one of the best kept secrets in all of entertainment: who will be
Oprah Winfrey's final guest, ever? With only 20 days left until the the May 25 finale, friends of the talk queen hint that the leading candidate at the moment is the biggest star in the world ... Oprah herself!
"How can one celebrity possibly sum up 25 years of such a groundbreaking show?" an insider asks. "Who could possibility come on the show and represent everything Oprah has done" from celebrity interviews, to human-interest stories to politics to women's issues to breaking news.
She's done it all, my source says, and "only one person could do that and that is Oprah herself."
Oprah has spoken before of her love of the final episode of 'The Mary Tyler Moore Show,' where Mary turned out the lights and left. Is she planning something in that vein? Perhaps, especially since the third and second to last shows (May 23-24) are going to be star-studded affairs in what
producers have dubbed "Surprise Oprah! A Farewell Spectacular."
The free shows, being held at Chicago's United Center on May 17, will include "some of the biggest names in movies, music and television in a one-time-only gathering to celebrate the 25-year legacy [of the show]."
Best of all, viewers will be treated to something they rarely see: a surprised Oprah.
"As most of our viewers know, being surprised is not one of Oprah's favorite things," said Harpo executive producer Sheri Salata. "In the spirit of our farewell season, she is making a rare exception and we intend to make the most of that opportunity. It will be something to see!"
Since those episodes will clearly be chocked full of stars, glitz, balloons and freaked-out audience members, show insiders tell me that Oprah may want to go out for good in a more understated, introspective way.
"Her last show will look back at some of her most important and favorite moments from her show," a source says, not surprisingly. "But at the end of the day the show will end where it started. A woman with a microphone looking into a camera and trying to make the world a better place."

I bet she would love to get the Seal who killed Bin Laden. But I'm sure she would like to end the show in a lighthearted way.

Listen..it took all of them to kill Bin Laden...not just the one...IDIOT!!!!
I'm going to miss Oprah. She's a one in a million talent. No one else can make so many people laugh, cry, feel inspired, get excited. Her range is incredible. She really is the best.
wow Donna, you have some anger issues there, huh?
and btw, yes it was seal team VI that did it but only one bullt killed him.
* and stop yelling.
Oprah will still be on TV. I got Directv tv just to watch the Oprah Winfery Network. My friends and their wifes watch also. Thank God Oprah is not leaving tv. She going on to bigger and better. Oprah, your fans are going satillite Tv with you.
Now, that your ratings are going up on your network, things are going to get better.
lol donna, you so dumb. xD
Donna, you really should cool your jets. You are one angry woman. It must be difficult going through life being perfect!
oh lov eoux
Maybe donna thought she was one of the team.
Can not wait for this show to be over with. Dont care how she ends her show wont be watching it. Hurry up.I love reading this , So does My boyfriend .he is almost 11year older than me .i met him via agelessc'upid.c'om a nice place for seeking age le ss love.which gives you a chance to make your life better and open opportunities for you to meet the attractive young girls and treat you like a king. Maybe you wanna check it out or tell your friends..
you're probably right Nancy, but having the Seal could never happen. That would be awesome if it could, but too much of a risk. guess we will have to wait and see. I like Oprah, but love Ellen more. I would have thought it would be Obama too, but probably it won't be. Maybe the Prince & Princess? Who knows =/
Hopefully she will move to africa to be with her own kind and spend her money helping that ignorant race of ape-people.
I have a feeling the ultra surprise guest will be Osama Bin Laden himself when the "not to be revealed photo" of the body and dumped into the sea terrorist exposes another lie opps, mistake from our government.
you won't be seeing any of the seals. they will not ever reveal their names due to the possibility of revenge.
Donna....do your privates stink?
Donna, why in heaven's name would you call someone an idiot for making a remark that was not in the slightest bit insulting? Although the whole team was responsible for the attack, only one man put a bullet through his brain. It was a legitimate remark.
if her guest on her last show is going to be her biggest ever, then it can only be one person, HERSELF! not only is there no other 'star' worthy of such an honor[in her mind, anyway] but there is actually nobody physically BIGGER than her!
I bet she gets Barrak Obama!

The President and First Lady were on Monday. So sad that it was previously recorded as I would have loved to listen to the story of getting bin laden.
Diane,
The first name of the President is Barack, not Barrak.
