Tuesday Afternoon Diversion: And You Get A Hero In A Half Shell!

By Lisa White in Arts & Entertainment on May 13, 2014 8:00PM

Back during the earlier days of Oprah, the variety of guests were a little less Tom Cruise on a couch and, in this case, a lot more awesome. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles stopped by the Chicago show in the 90s to chat with Oprah and perform their single "Walk Straight" live on television.

Bless the Internet for uploading absurd nostalgia like this. You can catch the full show below if you have a good chunk of time to kill. But really dropping in at any point is entertaining. Jump to the 20:25 mark to witness an appearance from Shredder that almost turns the interview into an episode of Springer. And then hop over to the 26:40 mark to witness some sweet turtle jams copping the NKOTB sound.
