So here are some starter questions or potential discussion topics:
- what is your best childhood memory?
- what experience in life has served to educate you the most?
- of all the people you've interviewed, who is the first one that comes to mind when I ask t his question?
- do you keep in regular contact with your family?
- do you ever go to visit your hometown?
- what price have you paid for giving up anonymity for a public life?
- reflectively, do you feel it has been worth it?
- do you enjoy your work?
- how many viewer letters do you personally read?
- when you leave this world how do you want your story to be told?
- how do you meet your make-up artist?
Deep and meaningful or shallow and interesting- what would be a good interview question?
{PS-If you've already commented you'll see that I've put your comments into this post so to make it easier to pick a WINNER!}
Is that her real hair? or extensions? In any case, I love Oprah's hair right now. Totally suits her.
ReplyDeleteWeird question, I know.
How does she manage to have private time with family and friends without worrying about the media following her everywhere?
ReplyDeleteWould She ever consider persuing a political career? If she did what office would she want to aspire for?
ReplyDeleteIf you could interview anyone who is no longer living, who would it be and why?
ReplyDeleteWhat was her most memorable moment on the show? What impact does she feel she has had on her viewers?
ReplyDeleteHey Melissa,
ReplyDeleteI do not have a question...I do not watch her show, but if you were on I would tune in for sure!!!

Has she ever had a guest with totally different views than her own (politically, religiously etc...) that has ever influenced her enough to change her mind on how she thinks?

ReplyDeleteI'd like to know...
ReplyDeleteIf, looking back, if there is anything that she has said on her show that now she feels different about. Not a regret....but as she's grown what she thinks differently about. Like a belief or a statement. Something that stands out in her mind.
I would like to know what was the most embarrassing thing that ever happened to her on the show and how she handled it, and if she would handle it differently now.
ReplyDeleteDoes she ever feel that raising a child might have changed who she is today and her perspective on life,both for herself and generally.
ReplyDeleteMelissa, if you get the chance, please ask Oprah what she considers to be her biggest blessing in life and why.
ReplyDeleteI would like to know if she found her interview/session with Cesar Milan was helpful? And was she able to follow through with his advice?
ReplyDeleteI think my first question would be if she could go back and interview anyone from the past, who would it be??? Why?? and if she could only ask them 3 questions what would they be???
ReplyDeleteI'd like to know more about her marathon. Did she hit the wall during the race, and if so, when, and how did she keep herself going to get past it
ReplyDeleteHi Melissa, I would love to know what the next 10 years look like for her, what plans does she have after retiring from her talk show? As most of us did, I grew up watching Oprah, and I know that it is going to be odd not having her on tv everyday at 4pm.
ReplyDeleteBest of Luck!

Ask Oprah "Which possession, that you still have, have you had for the longest amount of time? And what is your most prized possession?"
ReplyDeleteAlso "if you could eat only one food for the rest of your life what would it be?"
I'd ask her so many other things, but she'd never answer my prying questions.
Question: Why aren't you married to Stedman? -kim omeara
ReplyDeleteQuestion: Was it annoying when Ellen kept begging to be on "O" magazine?
ReplyDeleteQuestion: What are you giving Gayle for Christmas this year?

ReplyDeleteI'd like to know why she didn't get married...does she not agree with it? Or did she not want the 'committment' of marriage
ReplyDeleteI'd also like to know if she got Dr Oz, Rachel Ray, Dr Phil their own shows because she knew that in the next few years (at that time) that she was planning on stopping her show.
ReplyDeleteAND Oprah always commends mothers and says that she thinks it's the hardest job (and most poorly paid!) out there, is that why she didn't have kids...was she afraid that she'd fail because of her difficult childhood. That's a bit deep!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to know what Oprah thinks about teen fashion and if she'd ever consider getting some designers to put together a modest clothing line?? that would be really great right about now...
ReplyDeleteWhat about that Tom think, where he jumped up and down on the couch proclaiming his love for Katie. What were here thoughts on the incident?
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of role model does she see herself as?
ReplyDeleteWhy Chicago and not New York or Los Angeles for the show?
ReplyDeleteGood luck Melissa and let us know through visible voice how it turns out!!!
ReplyDeleteI"d like to know what her plans are after the show. Is she going to retire and just watch over her Girls school or does she have other projects up her sleeve. She's not one to sit idly by.
ReplyDeleteAsk if I can have tickets to her show :)
ReplyDeleteI'd like to know about all the work she has done in Africa. How many schools has she built? and any Other things
ReplyDeleteAsk her if she feels her work has really made a difference and how?
ReplyDeleteIf you were a hot dog, and you were starving, would you eat yourself?
ReplyDeleteWho was your most awkward interview with? Do you have any interview regrets? Have you ever had to cut to a commercial break to buy yourself time to bring an interview back on track? Has an interviewer ever rendered you speechless? Oprah makes it look so effortless, but she has been doing this for quite a long time....
ReplyDeleteHow does she keep involved in her girls school in Africa, how often does she visit, call, etc.? I know she considers those girls her children.
ReplyDeleteWhat do her closest friends and family get her for Christmas? I'm sure she has everything she's ever needed or wanted.
ReplyDeleteDOES she have everything she's ever needed or wanted or is there something she's had her eye on lately?

ReplyDeleteDoes she go to church?
ReplyDeleteDoes she communicate better with Stedman or Gayle?
ReplyDeleteWould she consider going on a speaking tour after her show ends?

ReplyDeleteWhat do she and Stedman bicker about?
ReplyDeleteI'd like to know what Oprah will miss the most when she gives up her talk show?
ReplyDeleteWhat is one thing that she hasn't taken on yet, that she is looking forward to trying/developing in the future?
ReplyDeleteI know I'm too late for the contest, but here's a shallow question to top all shallow questions: Every Christmas Eve, my family enjoys the Christmas tradition of watching Pee Wee Herman's Christmas Special, in which Oprah appears in a brief guest star appearance. What are her memories of this experience? Does she appreciate this quality Christmas programming that we (as a family) have come to love.
