Yeah, it was good. I missed pretty much the first half though! I liked how she told Joe, "You might as well tell the truth" about the beatings/whippings. And I like that Oprah had fun with Jermajesty. Poor kid, but Jermaine deserved even more ribbing for that. Were those the kids who *allegedly* were beating Prince and Blanket up? They really looked a lot like Evan Ross, son of Michael's idol, Diana.

I know! :lol: Tomorrow!

DTF, she's just having some fellow Talk Show royalty on, a "one night daytime only" kinda thing.

Okay, admit it. You smiled and your hearts were warmed by the Bushes today. :D When asked if another family member would run, Mama Barbara said, "I think America's Bushed." :D Loved it.

She would have been a nice addition. Notice no Jerry. ;) Well, of course he's still on the air (as is Maury) but Oprah was always saying, "We're not that show" re: fellow Chicagoan Jerry Springer, she was really against that wave of talk. But oh man, before Springer, Rickie was THE show to watch, around '96-'98 it was must-see TV.

I used to be a regular viewer years ago but I stopped. I'll tape it, though, if I hear somebody/something interesting is going to be on, like today.

I can understand the exclusion of Jenny Jones. Her show, from what I remember, leaned more towards Jerry Springer, I think, than the others. And she'll always be considered "guilty by association" in people's minds, I think, because of the murder. But I do remember some of the former child stars reunions and some Richard Simmons appearances.

BTW, re Geraldo's show, I actually have one of them partially on tape, where he had celebrity bachelors on and a lot of the questions had to do with how they approached women. There were people like Yakov Smirnoff, Storm Fields, Keith Hernandez, Jack Wagner (before he married Kristina), Robin Leach (wasn't he one of Jackie Zeman's exes?), Cleavon Little....and Russ Anderson. Anderson at the time was playing Steve Holden on OLTL and obviously hadn't "come out" yet.

Did SJR have some kind of work done? Her face and her speech are just so off. But I did save some of her shows/segments--The Monkees; a very obese man who wanted to meet his idol who was BJ Thomas; the amazing show she did a couple of weeks after Sonny Bono's death with his mom (whom she seemed to bond with because Sally also lost an adult child), Tony Orlando, Suzy Coelho and one of his political foes/friends.

Phil (and Marlo) look great. Phil looks like he hasn't aged a day. From him I saved a couple of Neil Diamond's appearances and a reunion of former child stars (Spanky, Jay North, Bonaduce, Keith Thibodeaux, etc.) He did have one hell of a celebrity lineup over the years, a lot of those movie stars long gone now.

Oprah was an annoying, condescending bitch the whole hour. She actually wanted the other hosts to talk about how exciting it was to beat her in the ratings every now and then because she's so awesome and rarely ever lost to any of those peasants EVER.

I love that Ricki straight up said that her show wasn't really supposed to compete with Oprah because of age groups/target audience. Totally right. It's the same thing with Tyra and now Wendy. None of their watchers would ever seriously watch Oprah.
