Oprah announced a while ago that her show will come to an end in September of 2011. Oprah’s best friend, Gayle King, admits that she’s not ready for Oprah to leave the airwaves just yet.
“I said to Oprah, ‘I’m having a hard time. I’m not ready,’” said Gayle “But, you know, I am ready for her. She makes the best decision for herself. I totally understand why she’s doing it. That said, I can’t imagine daytime TV without her.”
One thing Gayle does know is that she will have a place on Oprah’s new cable channel OWN. (Oprah Winfrey Network)
“I know I will do something with OWN, but I don’t know what that is,” she said. “We’re trying to figure that out.”
Gayle shares that she can’t imagine anyone who’s able to fill Oprah’s shoes:
“You’ll have to come up with something else. Come up with another model. Come up with another way of doing things,” King said. “The Oprah genre as we know it is done and done with her. Now we have to find something else to do and someone else to watch.”
Do you think she means Oprah’s style of talk show? Do you think the Oprah-style talk show is “over”?
