Oprah "Cherishes" Dave

After a 16-year absence, the grand dame of daytime television returned last night to David Letterman's show.

After making a Valerie Cherish-esque entrance (I will always associate that pose with her, even in cancellation) to a standing ovation, Oprah stuck around through four segments, at the end of which Letterman escorted her out of his theater and to the home of the new musical "Oprah Winfrey Presents: The Color Purple."  (If the Broadway run is a success, I hear she will be "presenting" the rest of the colors of the spectrum.)

Despite a rumored feud – denied by both – the mutual up-sucking couldn't have been more deafening.

Favorite personal revelation: Oprah and I have the same favorite children's book, "Love You Forever."  I think it is safe to safe to say that merely contemplating the title of that book is enough to send both my mother and me into a blubbering fit.

Hmmmm.....and here I thought it was the DNC pirate station that plays the continuous loop of "Howard Sings the Hits" that was making that noise.

"TCP" is getting terrible reviews. That's the only reason OW did this. Rich or not, her street cred (the "street" being Broadway) is on the line.

LOL....if Oprah has to go on somebody else's show to hype her projects, calling her reviews "terrible" must be an understatement on the order of when Noah called the weather bureau and got a recording predicting light showers and drizzle.

Isn't that little bow from johnny Carson?

I'm sure he wasn't the first one to do it, but yes ... although I am still mourning the death of "The Comeback," so that was my own little "bow" to Valerie Cherish.
