We’ve all come to know Oprah Winfrey as sort of a staid talk show host. But who knew Oprah could get down and dirty with the best of them?
We’ve been wanting to post this since last week’s post-Oscars edition of ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live.” In a hilarious comedy sketch, the former queen of daytime let her hair down with Kimmel, to review show pitch ideas for Oprah’s OWN Network.
Kimmel suggested Oprah do a new type of “favorite things” show that takes back all the cars and gifts she’s given away to her studio audience over the years. When that didn’t work, he suggested the “Jimmy & Oprah Celebrity Interview Show,” where both he and Oprah would interview a celebrity at the same time. That didn’t work either.
But the most hilarious moment was a take on Oprah’s Book Club. Renamed “Oprah’s Book Club Fight Club,” Oprah physically challenged members of her book club into a fist fight, throwing punches and sending members crashing into coffee tables. The comedy was so unexpected, it was brilliant.
