Oprah Winfreybusinesswoman, philanthropist, actress and former TV hostwill join CBS' 60 Minutes as a special contributor, the network announced Tuesday morning. The veteran interviewer will begin this fall, and, like other contributors, she won't appear on every episode of the Sunday news program.

She is a POS!!!
“Over 9000.” Remember that, Orca?

If she sings it’s over .

More diet tips from the Queen of binge and purge.
I’d prefer Snoop Dogg or Pee Wee Herman over her.
The bookies will have a field day with this: who’s her first guest? Zero or Hillary?
Oprah Tells FOX News Host All White People Have To Die, Her Reasoning Is Unbelievable
There are still generations of people, older people, who were born and bred and marinated in it, in that prejudice and racism, Oprah said, and they just have to die.
She lost the white audience long ago and her own T.V. channel is in the dumper.
Who?
With all the Nepotism in Media I would have thought Chris Wallace. Huh.
Ya know since him and the tree he fell from were, and are such Great Americans.
