About this episode

In the 1990’s Oprah Winfrey set herself apart from other talk show hosts by pivoting away from trash TV shows like Geraldo and Jerry Springer.

Instead Oprah focused on what creating what she called hour long life lessons and in the process she changed TV forever.

On this episode of History of the 90s we track the ascension of the Queen talk.
