** ''The Creator/EllenDegeneres Show'' is one for Oprah's show, really taking off around the time that Oprah was finishing up and defining daytime TV as much as she did. It helps that Ellen clearly positioned her own show as one, including several campaigns to have Oprah appear on hers (which she eventually did).

** Another episode featured Music/CelineDion talking about her family and her then only son, who was just a little boy at the time and the other guest was a HappilyMarried couple who gave birth to a premature baby girl.

** She has such a massive influence on the people who watch her show that you could ask anyone who's ever worked at a bookstore, and they would probably have a story about a customer who wanted to purchase a book, but had no idea what the book looked like, or what it was even about. All the customer knows is that ''"Oprah said it was an amazing book"'' so they ''had'' to have it. Heck, the beef industry ''sued her for defamation'' simply because she said she was going to stop eating beef due to Mad Cow Disease fears (which would most likely cause hundreds of thousands of people to stop eating beef as well, just because Oprah was going to stop).
