Oprah’s Big Farewell

It’s official.  I will never see a live taping of The Oprah Winfrey Show.  Boo.  I did try to get some last minute tickets for her final season but everything is a lottery and it was basically impossible.  I had a plan that if I did manage to win one single ticket, I would fly by myself to Chicago so I wouldn’t miss that opportunity of a lifetime.

But Oprah taped her final two shows last night in Chicago.  It was called Surprise Oprah! A Farewell Spectacular and it was held at the United Center with 13,000 audience members. (And I still could not get a ticket!) Below are some photos of the surprise guests.  These celebrity filled shows will air on Monday, May 23rd and Tuesday, May 24th. The final episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show will air on Wednesday, May 25th after 25 years. (The content of that show is still under wraps.) I’m getting my tissues ready now.
