Oprah Announces Final Show Date

By Soyoung Kwak in Miscellaneous on Mar 26, 2011 6:30PM

2009_11_06_oprah.jpg It's really happening: Oprah's Harpo Productions announced yesterday that her May 25th show will be her last show ever. It is safe to say that her final show will be incredibly outrageous, considering how extravagant and wild her show is during the holiday season (three words: Oprah's Favorite Things). Oprah hasn't dropped any hints about what she was planning for the May 25th finale, but she tweeted last week that she was "hard at work planning the final shows."

Even though there is much anticipation that her Royal Television Highness will end her show on a big note, we're busy trying to figure out how to be in the audience that day to witness television history (and hopefully snag some free swag along the way). How do you think Oprah will end her run as television's talk show queen?
