访谈录 2011-05-22&05-24 奥普拉告别夜—明星们心中

Alright, so we are backstage. And this is how all the guests, a lot of guests are gonna make their way in though the crowd. Twenty thousand people packed up in here and they are empt.

-I mean, I think what she is, hum, what she does for, for women, especially, for people, hum, is still gonna endure¹. I mean, she’s gonna keep doing what she does. She has her network. She has her legacy² of everything that she’s achieved. And hum, I, I think like her daily presence³ in everyone’s life is, you know, she’s a, she’s kind-of like a, a piece of American history, you know what I mean?

-I did her first show when she had a show in Baltimore. I was one of the firm’s people who did her show because she couldn't get guests. So I was there for her. I had nothing to talk about, but I was on her show.

-What did you see and hear then? You said, this is a person, whereas⁴, I spent time with.

-She was determined⁵ to give some guests on that show. And I said to myself, nobody’s probably gonna watch it but she and I, but I said I’m coming over and look at, look at her now.

-We didn’t know, ah, what was gonna happen and the CD was doing well, but when she had me on and said Kent, can I wanna give you the shot? It just connected with the audience that I hadn’t met yet.

-The sales fly, is that funny?

-They phone ever since. I mean, it’s been one of those things where she does have the mighties to touch when it comes to that item, and people trust her because she really, she provides audience with such interest things. They didn’t know they want it.

-Here we are. This is backstage and every place she walked ago. That’s, that’s, no that can’t be and it is, it is and all I can say is I’ve never seen anything quite like this before. I’ve never been part of anything like this before and it’s, it’s big and it’s completely beautiful.

-This is equivalent⁶ of American loyalty⁷. It’s anyway I can describe it. You know, we have the royal family; you have Oprah. It’s actually stoner ship.

-If you looked Oprah 30 years ago when she was a local anchor⁸ at Baltimore. Did you know? Would you, could you see that she was gonna become this woman, that giant soul?

-Ah, I think I would have recognized her confidence and you know, something I do on my shows. You know, I’ve learned⁹ that now, ah, it’s, it’s, it’s your confidence, it’s the way people racks¹⁰ around you. You’ve got to be very quick to adapt to that. So I’d like to think I would have done it.

-Look this people at home because you are a doctor Phil who are just hard to think about these last shows. What would you say now?

-Well, people are gonna miss her. I mean, it’s like a really good friend moving away right? Hum, and it’s gonna be a real voile because this is somebody people haven’t just watched. They’ve had a relationship with. They know her and they feel that connection with her, that’s gonna be a voile, but they will find her on the Oprah Winfrey network.

-Are you one of those kids? You say come home after school and clock down and watch Oprah.

-I was one of those kids who didn’t understand that I was being taught while I was being taught. You know, hum, those lessons, hum, you know, that opportunity to see someone else giving when they have so much, you know, you don’t understand what that is until that happens or the ability to simply care, you know, you just look at her, like oh that’s Oprah, yeah, cool that’s what she does. But then, when you get older, you understand that message; you understand that you formed in the substances behind everything that she does. It is truly being blessed to be blessed someone else.

-What would she say of there to them?
