The Oprah Winfrey Show, watched by about 48 million viewers each week in the United States, has been airing since 1986 and is the longest-running daytime television talk show in the U.S.

Starting out in Baltimore, Oprah moved to Chicago to host AM Chicago, a low-rated morning talk show and was met with instant success. The show was renamed the Oprah Winfrey Show and expanded to a full hour. Over the past decades, she has interviewed countless celebrities and addressed a variety of issues ranging from diet and makeover shows to child abuse and women’s rights.
