Oprah Snags Sarah Palin Interview

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Daytime, Talk Shows, Syndication, Oprah Winfrey Show, Gossip, News

Oh what a difference a year makes.

Two of the biggest female names of 2008 will finally be sitting down for a chat in 2009. Mark your calendars: November 16 will be the date Sarah Palin has her first one-on-one with Oprah Winfrey.

Before last November’s elections, Oprah - who publicly endorsed Barack Obama - had been accused of showing favoritism because she chose not to welcome the VP candidate on her show. Winfrey’s reason? She didn’t want to use her program as a political platform. (Although President Obama had been a guest on her program, his appearances came before he decided to run for office.) Unfortunately, Oprah’s explanation didn’t satisfy many of her female fans.

Tyson and Holyfield to Reunite in Oprah’s Ring

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Daytime, Talk Shows, Syndication, Oprah Winfrey Show, Gossip, Video

Oprah Winfrey really knows how to milk her ratings cows. Recently, we’ve seen her interviews with Whitney Houston and Mackenzie Phillips stretch out over two separate hours. Now, Mike Tyson is getting his Round 2.

This Friday, the former heavyweight champion will be sharing the stage with a very special guest: Evander Holyfield. Yes, that would be the same boxer Tyson bit - twice - during their June 1997 fight.

VIDEO: Nancy Grace Gets Inside Jon Gosselin’s Motives

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Talk Shows, Syndication, Gossip, Video

Nancy Grace took the gloves off on The Insider recently when Jon Gosselin arrived on the set. The former lawyer interrogated Gosselin, seriously putting the father of eight on the spot.

At one point, Grace snidely commented on the companion Jon brought with him to the show. “Oh you’ve got your lawyer here, you’re afraid to answer questions? Whatever.”

“Why don’t you just quit arguing and work on your marriage, would that be a better idea?” She fired out to Gosselin.

All in all, it was pretty good TV. Grace really put the screws to Jon Gosselin, and audiences actually got to see him do a bit of squirming. Watch the video above for more.

Mad Men Featured on ‘60s-Themed Oprah

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Daytime, Drama, Talk Shows, Cable, Syndication, Oprah Winfrey Show

Could Oprah Winfrey do for Mad Men what she does for books?

This coming Monday, the talk show hostess and her upswept hair will dedicate the entire broadcast to a particular decade. The show, entitled “Oprah Goes Back in Time: The 60s,” will include appearances from both January Jones and Jon Hamm.

The hour will also feature items that would have been Winfrey’s favorite during that time. (I’m guessing the audience won’t want any of those freebies.)

Maybe Oprah could have Dr. Phil talk to Don Draper about his daddy issues and extramarital affairs?
