I came home from school each day as a teen in Nairobi, feeling drained, distraught, distressed and wanting to not live another day. I sat in front of the t.v. at 5:30pm to watch Oprah and by the end of every show, I was rejuvenated; I did my homework, I pressed my uniform, I ate my dinner, I went to bed with hope and I survived another day of being bullied, feeling misunderstood and unheard. My Mum was in Zambia, my home country so I could only call her once in a while, I lived with my Dad. Oprah was the mother's daily voice in my mother's absence. Telling me to go on. And so I did.
I like your story
Glad you kept going xx
Oprah has been an inspiration to so many...many lives have been saved and have changed for the better. She continues to do what she loves most...talking (interviewing), producing significant films, providing free education, uplifting people's lives, supporting many humanitarian causes worldwide, inspiring human beings all over the world to be kind, generous and be blessings to others as well. She's really a powerhouse, a woman of substance.
Larry wasn't interviewing Oprah, it was like watching two pals catching up and having great conversation. That's what makes it great. RIP LARRY KING
Larry knew how to make the interview come natural as if they're were no cameras around that's a skill difficult to achieve. He was a legend.
There's a big difference, he a man and he's white that trumps OPY any day.
Oprah’s voice is a big hug for the soul 💚✨
Totally right ❤️✨
Oh yeah!

@Christina Forsythe Well,she sure changed from when she ‘started’….just like most. But, of course she thinks she’s ‘different’ from the rest. She bit the ‘suddenly rich’ and ‘famous’ cake too!
Hi little sweetie. That a man can eat how sweet it is. You're a real sweetheart, Oprah
This interview is so natural. They are just having a chat, as if nobody is watching, genuine.

CALLED ACTING AND MOCKING YOU!
I love Oprah and I don’t care what anybody said, she did so much. She did so much to a lot of people, sometimes you have to look on the good side instead of judging, she’s only human and sometimes she will make mistakes like anyone else but love her regardless.
I love how Oprah, at her core, is an interviewer. I thought it was the cutest thing when Larry asked “what is it like to die on screen?” & she said “oooh, that’s so good.” That was a great question!
A legend Interviewing A legend. R.I.P. Larry.
You read my mind 😊
Great interview. Love that she never shies away from admitting how great it is to have money. She truly embraces everything in life.
She pays. Her taxes and her home in California is expensive to keep up let’s go with feelings Larry so dependable Not. senetor John Kennedy was born in 1951 just think you cold have the first Black and a woman for President. Spare me the details ya sure .
For her struggle and her humongous success , she definitely subdues her ego. Kudos to Oprah for her gratitude
RIP Larry King, such a legendary interviewer!
I love Oprah. Listening to the timbre of her voice is calming me during a stressful time.
💕💜💕
No matter what you think about Oprah's politics, you can respect that she's still able to sit a across from a jewish or any other person and be civil. We don't have to 100% agree on things like the holocaust happening to just ... talk.
I thought it was just me.
@@matthewchunk3689 Was Larry King Jewish? I had no idea. I thought he was married to a Christian lady learn something new every day.
"I remember saying to my chef.............." I wish to say this sentence in normal conversation one day :)
How you doing so far? :)
I hope you’re healthy
It was so casual and fabulous
Me too :-)

"But then she'd get commission" 😭🤣🤣
Listening to Oprah always gives me hope.
Christiane Avida no one is forcing you to listen.
For what? She gonna give you some money? LLOLOLOOOLOLOL
I can listen to Oprah and Larry King talking ALLLL DAYYYY. Amazing people ❤️
i CAN LISTEN TO TRUMP SPEAK ALL DAY, HE IS AN AMAZING MAN
It would be great to watch a biographical film about Oprah.
I never dreamed that we could dream...ugh my heart
Oprah is so amazing! Her lifelong dedication to improving our society, her genuine live, kindness and generosity...she is such an inspiration! God bless her! ❤
"but then I thought she'd get a commission so lets not do that".......DAMN hadn't thought about that. good one. that's why you're the queen.
Rest in peace legend. You will be remembered💙
Love this! It’s like 2 old friends sitting down for coffee- except it’s 2 of the most charismatic and intelligent people in the news/entertainment/popular culture! I could watch this 50x and still enjoy it!!
I love how Larry interview. He ask all the questions that we would ask if we met Oprah. He even ask better questions that we wouldn't even think about asking....lol. Great job Larry!
Kariah Bojones That is a life time of experience
Kariah Bojones He's a masterful interviewer
Kariah Bojones IKR? And without intercepting the guest, he cares about each word his guest says! I’m sick of all those interviewers who think they know much more than their guests and they are there just to make money and headlines. Larry is such a classy person. Both of them actually are legends, Larry and Oprah.
And he is very respectful about it. Thats the best thing about him👍🏽
And he allows his guest to talk. Some hosts talk more than their guests.
Larry is wonderful like always. What a delightful to watch him interviewing Oprah.
Oprah, highly intelligent and overly criticized.
She sucks.
Dont think Ive EVER heard anyone criticize her. Admittedly I don't take much notice??
@@Meekseek Yes because shes black
People criticize Oprah all the time. But I appeciate the things she has done while on television, Oprah is a very blessed woman for sure. What I dont understand why she made white folk famous or more rich when they did not even need it. Black people her own race needed her help moreso. For example, what about setting up some places to help better your own people and black children.
Yes, I know Oprah built the school for black girls in Africa. That is a wonderful thing to do. We applaud her for that. Yet, what has she done on a hugh platform in Chicago where she got famous. She has enough money to help build something for black people in the U.S. despite her other contributions I am sure she makes and has made. BUT DO SOMETHING FOR HER OWN BLACK PEOPLE LIKE SHE DID FOR DR. PHIL AND OTHER WHITE PEOPLE! HELP YOUR OWN IN A LARGER NUMBER.
Oprah commented that the store in Chicago said they did not let her in because they had been robbed by two black people two days before. And they said this is why they did not let her in. I DO NOT THINK THAT IS TRUE...They may have been robbed, but they KNEW that was OPRAH! And they knew she would not rob them, being a billionnaire. Come on?! They knew and Oprah knew that they did not want her in their store. PERIOD! BEING A BLACK WOMAN THEY DID NOT WANT BLACK FOLK NO MATTER HOW RICH IN THEIR STORE! Oprah knows this!
I love passionate and enthusiastic she gets when she says something exciting... 🗣 “I had a day job!” My fav impression of Oprah is... 🗣 “THIS IS AMAZIIIIING!!” 😂😂
"Didn't do enough for racism" PLEASE This lady has TOTALLY changed the race dynamic in America over the past FOUR DECADES
Just by existing and becoming who she has become!
Shes become bigger than her EGO
@@lonnieoutloud1244 She is ALL ego. Don't pretend she hasn't sold out. She totally has.
So TRUE ♥️
Oprah is really about herself. She did very little for the black people. Who did she help? She is more white than black.
One day, I came very close to Ms. Oprah. I wanted to hug her and talk to her, but that day, she might as well been on the moon. Love the wonderful woman! I love Mr. Larry King and oh miss him. His interviews are awesome!
This is so true 17:09 - 17:42 People don't expect u to be sitting at certain board tables, to break certain barriers. That's when u experience racism. I can tell
And sexism. Big time.
The Democrats love creating racism
You do know that Oprah was interviewed and she told the interviewer that every white person 65 years and older has to die for racism to go away there will be racism until they die
I have known black people 65 years and older and younger who are racist so that how could Oprah say that all white people 65 years and older has to die before racism will be gone from the world she hasn't talked to many black people I assume
@@henriettawheeler7175 I despise people that play victims of racism and use that as an excuse to discriminate other people. In that case, it's merely a political power instead of a human right issue
That store in Zurich was Louis Vuitton. She didn’t say the name here, but I’ve heard her tell the story before where she named them.
cigarmandallas I wonder if she still has a job....
Thought it was Hermes
The store was Trois Pommes
@baby boo The store that refused to sell the bag was in Rome, the bag wasn't for Oprah, it was for Gayle's daughter Kirby. Around minute 18 she's talking about a separate incident that happened in the 90s. A few minutes later she talks about the Zurich store where Oprah wanted to buy a particular bag for herself. You may think it's lies or made up but if you're not black or brown then it may be hard for you to understand how often people of color deal with racism or prejudice.
@baby boo You're saying the incident didn't happen cause most customers are Asian? How would you know, do you work for LV marketing and looked at the customer demographics?
I’m seeing this for the first time today and I’m reminded how much I love you! You’re a beautiful person inside and out. God Bless you.❤️
25:00 I wish everyone could understand this... after you have it all, the ultimate goal is to understand your purpose and why you're here.
Everyone will not get it coz they are focused on the glamourous fame seeking sight of society. Oprah says: talking is what i do and not what i am. . .
Larry King will be missed 😢 Rest in peace in heaven 🌹
I love the way Larry King interviews. He’s truly one of the greats. And of course, Oprah.
The best. He doesn't interrupted
Yea Larry is good.
One must understand one's ancestors' history and what has truly happened historically...to know who one is!! So true...
I love Oprah. Say what you want about her, but you cannot deny she is a good person that keeps her feet on the ground
FOR LARRY KING TO SAY HE REALLY ENJOY AND LEARN SOMETHING ABOUT CIVIL RIGHT. I REALLY LOVE OPRAH AND THANK GOD I'M LIVE AND FULLING MY GOALS IN MY LIFE. A BREAKTHROUGH 2018
couple days before christmas watching this wonderful vid.love Oprah :)
So good to watch two legends together.
We all are conduits of a higher vibration. Let's make this a better place for everyone!!!!
17:05 the power in that statement! Love it!!!❤️
Great Job by Larry as always, you can clearly see they like each other
I admire both of you Oprah and Larry!!
Oprah is a great communicator and a very brilliant woman! Love her
I love her hair that way.
excellent interview.
I get her more now than ever. She is love and shows it and speaks it.
Wow I didn’t know that…I did original orator in high school and one of the people I study with was Susan Batson too…thank you for sharing Oprah! 🙏🏾🦋
The Butler Movie is a must see it's a great movie!
Our Onscreen MAAMA! We love you OPRAH WINFREY. You have inspired many.
Oprah reminds me of my favorite author, Paulo Coelho. Just mid-conversation, she drops these gems of wisdom, easy to remember sayings, that touch you and pierce your soul.
Oprah is still and always will be an inspiration. ppl make alot out of her speaking to "a bunch of middle class white women " in her show. that is just another way of degrading her as a woman a powerful force to be reckoned with. Love and adore her.
Do you even have a clue at all about this racist dirtbag that you're so enamoured with?!
i LOVE the handbag story!!
Thank u Larry for interviewing Oprah; Oprah is a very proud human bring for her accomplishments and I am very very proud of her, knowing that it wasn’t as easy as people think; her past shows brought us the hard core of racism; even as it is happening today in 2020. (Forsyth; skinheads; Jane Elliott stories; etc.); and I personally thank u Oprah! I had no idea how easy it is to talk with u one on one and me not be so nervous and intimidated because of your vocabulary and wealth; you definitely will never forget where u came from and how very far u have come to make your dreams come truth! Take care I care!
We need Oprah on tv again.
RIP Larry King, such a legendary interviewer!. So good to watch two legends together..
One media legend interviews another. Always interesting. God bless Larry King's family in his passing.
she was amazing in the Butler... The trailer had me in tears
Oprah is a spiritual queen a gift from God to the world . God bless Oprah as she blesses others .
Her humility is so striking!
I think Larry King is a terrible interviewer , BUT I will say - this was the best interview of Oprah, she was the most candid here💕LOVE HER!
You and about .001% of the viewers. 😀
Why do you think he is terrible, Shay?
This Oprah? th-cam.com/video/WwbGspX_5tM/w-d-xo.html
@@kimbozw1808 I'd like to know the answer to that as well. Larry King's interviews are legendary.
Larry gets more handsome as he gets older.....looks amazing in this interview!
Thank you for interviewing Oprah.
I love this woman so much
love this talk
Absolutely wonderful to see two great interviewers together!!! Watching Oprah being interviewed is awesome!!!
Oprah should have said “Well, Jenn Aniston is a friend of mine, so I don’t want to have the same bag as her” 🤣
Or she could have said, “I bought Jenn Aniston and the whole cast of Friends last week so I’ll just borrow hers, never mind. Oh and I’ve arranged to have Angelina Jolie erased from the universe too. Buh bye.”
I ve always liked her caring force keep doing what u do baby!
Thank you so much..
I love Oprah!!! 💕💕💕
You will be missed, Larry! Rest in peace
This was a extremely inspiring interview….purposely for me to RECEIVE 💐
Oprah is right about racism in Switzerland. I live here as a brown skin Asian American. It is so very degrading and exhausting, and bad!! The difference is that Oprah got an apology from the entire Switzerland, published and televised their apology. I dont get an apology. I have an entire story with documents to support. Maybe one day Ill share it , its with an exaggeration worth publishing.
Well racism is everywhere where ignorance exists. I got whiffs of racism in my home town in Irvine, and before that also in La Jolla, CA. and cities in USA not just Europe.. just as I did in Paris and am light skin Asian American.
I saw the Butler. The movie was GREEAAAATTTTT !!!!!!!! I didn't think Oprah could reach that level of acting because she is not usually an actor. She hit a home run again. But, then again we're talking about Oprah.
I'm a 79 year old White guy, veteran of the civil rights movement, and an engineering professional who worked in broadcasting and pro audio in Chicago when Oprah was building her empire. She did everything right building her studios, which were vastly superior to what the networks had. She hired to top engineering talent, mostly White guys. Every aspect of her work on air has been first class. She is a force for good, has long been one of my heroes. And I am convinced that without her, Obama would not have been President, at least not in 2008-16.
Great Interview
My inspiration, love you oprah!
Never heard of the Butler. I’ll be looking for it now.
I am always mesmerized by Oprah's beautiful eyes, inspired by her stories, and her voice is like honey🥰❤🧡💛💚💙💜
oprah you inspire me every day
Never tire of listening to her.
I’m so grateful for this amazing women! Opera gives me hope and inspiration to be my best and higher self....
If Oprah ran for president, she would win!
I just love oprah! Her conversation is so relaxed and her soul and energy is just everything! Thank you God that she is freely pursuing her soul's mission!🙏🙌❤
A Brilliant woman.
Such inspiration and joy to watch her.
A WOW moment for me was when the people were suffering horribly in the aftermath of Katrina and the government was not helping, but all of a sudden on the news, there are truckload after truckload of supplies being driven into New Orleans, sent by OPRAH. WOW. God bless Oprah. 💖🙏
Yo larry is still alive! Holy moly lol how old is this guy 😅
85.
Dream-Duo, I could listen to both of them all day long!
I love the comment about having money, because it always feels like if the rich speak about it they'll instantly get poor or something, as if its something to be ashamed of. Especially when you have worked hard for it and many people cannot identify with it. thank you for that.
Love u oprah you truly made for what you've done ABD still doing you truly are an inspiration ✔️✔️ Very Smart and Open Woman Much love and support from France 🇫🇷
2 of the greats !
Ms. Oprah, if I were to find your journal, I would return it to you and ask if we could just have lunch and talk for one hour of your time. I would not tell you where I live because it's a place that you might not like. Enough said. Love you Oprah and Mr. Larry King too.
You are the great of everything ❤
When she was trying to put OWN together that was probably one of the most stressful times in her life in addition to the trial. I can't wait till she actually does a movie where she plays herself.
Just two great friends talking 👼💪🏽🙏🏽🥂❤️
watching in 2020 like its the first time :)
This woman is so incredible. And she is so inteligent. I like the fact that she doesn't flinch. She has an almost lightning quick perfect answer for everything. Considering everybody is listening to what you say, it's very difficult to maintain that genuine spirit. She's marvelous.
Love Oprah's beautiful spirit. A true Goddess!
Therecis one god....stop your nonsense
Ho I love you oprah I meet you in Toronto 1997 you are my inspiration you was wearing a red dress and so was i
It's refreshing to hear a celebrity say something positive about our country.
