The activity that Oprah Winfrey is most known for doing is being a talk show host on her show, "The Oprah Winfrey Show." She has been hosting this show for 25 years and made Dr. Oz famous by having him come on her show. Once her show became a hit she hosted her show on broader topics like heart disease, geopolitics, spirituality, and meditation. Her show was also mostly about interviewing celebrities on social issues like cancer, charity work, or substance abuse.
Oprah's outgoing personality made her ideal for holding deep conversations with her guests that made both them and the audience feel closer to her. She would often begin crying after talking with a guest because she would be overcome by the emotion. Over the years, she has had many celebrities as guests on her show such as Celine Dion, Justin Bieber, and Michael Jackson.
One thing about her show that makes it memorable is the giveaways that she does for the live audience. For example, on one show she gave everyone in the audience a free car. In another, she gave the audience products that she considered to be good Christmas presents. But the most memorable was on her final show, when she revealed to the audience that they would all be going to Australia for free. Below is a clip from her show when this happened.
