Cover of Talk Show Giants

http://blogs.usatoday.com/entertainment/

Well, Ellen DeGeneres' dream has come true...she will be on the cover of 'O' magazine (Oprah's magazine) If you don't know very much about Oprah or Ellen, you probably don't find this situation incredibly entertaining. See, Oprah is ALWAYS on the cover of her own magazine issue. Literally, every single edition of O has her on it. That's just the way it is. So for months Ellen has been making jokes that her dream is to be on the cover of O, which obviously is ridiculous because it is Oprah's magazine and she is without fail, always on the cover.

Oprah made a call into Ellen during Ellen's show and informed her that she would like Ellen to be on the cover with her. And Ellen responded that now her new goal was to make this the highest selling issue of O that Oprah has ever had. And I don't doubt that Ellen will make that happen. These are two of the biggest talk show women ever, each with their own qualities that make them so successful. No, Ellen isn't on Oprah's level in term of wealth, but she is quite the talk show success nonetheless. I can't wait to see what happens when these two media giants come together. I think its going to be a no brainer...

  1. What is interesting about the O magazine is that this year she has come out saying that she is opening up her cover to other people. Michelle Obama was the only other person to grace the cover this year, and now Ellen. It seems that maybe Oprah is beginning to share the spotlight, and good for her. These two people has such an influence on daytime television and are both inspiring individuals. I respect Ellen a lot for what she stands up for, embracing who she is, and just all around enjoying life. Oprah is media mogul, and someone who can turn anything into gold. I would love to read the interview inside, haha, and I wonder what the cover is going to look like?

  2. I think it's slightly ridiculous that Oprah's magazine, "O," has only had photographs of Oprah on the cover during its entire existance. Isn't Oprah's whole point to reach out to her country and to the world on issues that are important not only to her, but to EVERYONE? Why, then, has it only been Oprah on the cover? Why did it take this media mogul so long to share the spotlight?
