television talk shows

It all started with an announcement on the Today show, where host Matt Lauer welcomed the group's leader, Jon Bon Jovi.  

Oprah Winfrey has announced the Oprah Winfrey Show will come to an end next season. She made the emotional announcement at the end of her show Friday, saying she wanted to get ahead of any speculation about why she's ending the show. Winfrey told the audience that after 25 seasons, it's time to say goodbye.

Here is the real reason: I love this show. This show has been my life and I love it enough to know when its time to say goodbye   -Oprah Winfrey

 

As so often down the years, she shared the moment with viewers. Oprah – no surname necessary – announced yesterday that she will end her daytime talk show in 2011 after a 25-year run. Viewers weren't the first to hear the news, mind.  

But that's what makes DeAngelo Hall such an interesting dude. You never know what kind of crazy stunt he's going to pull. MeAngelo's celebrating his birthday tonight, and the cliched, glitzy over-produced ad trumpets the fact that Mr. Zimmerman (henceforth, DJ Zimm ) is the "special guest host."  

The show will be hosted by Christian Guerra and Hunter Woolfolk. Woolfolk works as a business development specialist for Documation. The San Antonio Rising Stars radio show will air on Saturdays from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. on AM 930.  

CBS's LATE SHOW with DAVID LETTERMAN beat "The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien" in viewers, adults 25-54 and finished in a tie in adults 18-49 while THE LATE LATE SHOW with CRAIG FERGUSON won its time period in viewers and adults 25-54, according to Nielsen live plus same day ratings for the week ending Nov. 13. LATE SHOW posted a 3.0/08 in households with an average of 4.13m viewers, up +15% in households (from 2.6/07) and +11% in viewers (from 3.73m) compared to the same week last year. LATE SHOW beat  

Quick update to this post . Sarah Palin's Wednesday appearance on Sean Hannity's show was his second highest-rated this year, according to Nielsen Media Research. The Fox News host pulled in more than 4 million viewers, beating his top-rated colleague Bill O'Reilly ( ouch ) and everyone else on cable for one night.  

Is Oprah actually done as a daytime host, though? The assessments of Oprah's career have been rolling in as if she had died. But we have to at least consider her history of making huge decisions and later changing them.  

ABC News "Nightline" was #1 among Adults 25-54, Adults 18-49 and Total Viewers for the week of November 9, 2009 outperforming NBC's "The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien" and CBS' "Late Show with David Letterman," according to Nielsen Media Research. This is the second week in a row "Nightline" placed first among Total Viewers. It also marks the twenty-first consecutive week "Nightline" beat "The Tonight Show" among Total Viewers.
