13* On ''Series/AllThat'', Creator/KelMitchell routinely played an obvious send-up named Okrah.
14* A classic episode of ''Series/TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir'' has the family going on the show where their dirty laundry ends up being aired. [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment And at one point, Carlton dances to the show's past theme song.]]
15* ''Series/InLivingColor'':
16** One of the first skits (that Kim Wayans [[CreatorBacklash eventually came to regret]]) had her portraying the host on her show, consuming a lot of food and getting so angry that she explodes.
17** Another skit had a public service announcement spoofing the popular "Brain on Drugs" ad that also shows Oprah using the egg as drugs, bacon as alcohol and ultimately putting the "drugs" on a hard roll and eating it.
18** Another Oprah skit had her owning a restaurant, meddling in people's lives and revealing to the patrons that the food they've been eating [[{{Squick}} has been fried in the fat she's lost over the years.]]
19* ''Series/MarriedWithChildren'': The show has taken several potshots at the show over the years, since Al hates it but Peg, of course, loves it.
20* Creator/MargaretCho's show ''All-American Girl'' had an episode with her and her family appearing in the studio audience of the show.
21* On ''Series/TheJerrySpringerShow'', whenever a guest or audience member says something that is too "wimpy" for the show, the rest of the audience will begin to chant "Go to ''Oprah!"''
22* In the ''Series/DrakeAndJosh'' episode "Josh Runs Over Oprah", Drake gets Josh (an Oprah fan) tickets to the show for his birthday. [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin As you would expect by the title]], they end up accidentally hitting her with their car. (She survives, but gives Josh a restraining order.)
23* A recurring segment on ''Series/TheLateShowWithDavidLetterman'' was "Pat and Kenny Read Oprah Transcripts" where stagehands Pat Farmer and Kenny Sheehan [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin read Oprah transcripts]], with Pat as Oprah and Kenny as the (usually female) guest of the day, in deadpan voices. They even made a ShotForShotRemake of Oprah's DoItYourselfThemeTune.
24-->'''Pat as Oprah:''' Wooo hooo. Wooo hooo. You go girl.

27* In the ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' episode "The Stanchurian Candidate", Bud's "You get fifty per cent off! You get fifty per cent off! You get fifty per cent off!" is done in a manner that's an obvious riff on the famous episode where Winfrey gave everyone in her studio audience a free car.
28* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'': In "Husbands and Knives", a newly successful gym owner Marge goes on an ''Oprah'' {{Expy}} named ''Opal'', where she then asks the host when her boyfriend Straightman was going to pop the question, which she [Opal] deflected by giving out expensive German cuckoo clocks to the audience.
29* ''Series/SesameStreet'' had an animated insert called "The O Show", whose host was a talking letter O. The insert featured an orangutan talking about his favorite O foods, an octopus that juggled, and a giveaway of oboes.
