All the Times Oprah Winfrey Went Viral
The one and only Oprah Winfrey is a pillar of America's entertainment industry. The talk show host, actress, author, and philanthropist is the epitome of self-made success. Born in rural Mississippi to a single mother, Oprah faced a number of hardships as she grew up. As a teenager, she made the choice to leave her mother and relocate to Tennessee where she lived with Vernon Winfrey, a man she refers to as her father. While in high school, Winfrey landed a job at the local radio station which where she ultimately became the co-anchor for the evening news. Even in her adolescence, Oprah's unparalleled energy was admired by many.
Soon after her radio show success, Oprah ventured into the realm of daytime television and landed her very own syndicated talk show. This was just the start of what we know as The Oprah Winfrey Show. At the onset of the show, Oprah aimed to focus on the act of bettering and educating oneself. She has interviewed the likes of Barack Obama, Michael Jackson, Rihanna, and Tom Cruise. These are just a few of her celebrity guests. However, The Oprah Winfrey Show was not just a space for celebrity gossip and news. Oprah spoke on the topics of racism, wellness, spirituality, and more. Many people came to her show to share something that was unknown to the public such as personal trauma, or a private occurrence. They did this because more than anything, The Oprah Winfrey Show was a safe place, and not just for the people on it, but for all Americans.
Although her show ended in 2011, Oprah continues to create and educate through her podcast, Oprah's SuperSoul Conversations, and through producing shows on her TV network, OWN. She also remains a major presence in the social media sphere and still provides her loyal fans with content that they adore. Over the years, Oprah has brought so many smiles to our faces, from unforgettable celebrity interviews to her hilarious commentaries.
