Oprah/ Dr. Oz/ Jay Leno--view from the sidelines

It's premiere week and Oprah's back with a bang and WHITNEY. I couldn't stop watching. Overall it was a very good interview but I could have done without the fawning. It was so obvious Whitney got to Oprah. If you don't believe me check out part 2 --35 min into the show the "I prayed this morning...me too" part. If you still don't believe me check out WH's performance 45 min in and watch for the cut-away of Oprah crying and singing . I rest my case. BTW, the stage looked stunning. I have to say, it was dishy and it was great to see Whitney walk down those stairs. Everyone loves a redemption story and Whitney delivered big time. Tomorrow, O plays catch up on the Michael Jackson story--a make good for being away when he died. Can't wait. A friend told me that Wendy Williams was dishing the Oprah interview...sorry I missed that.

Oprah spawn Dr. OZ premiered yesterday. I really like Dr. Oz, but the show was flat. I expected a bigger launch. Shoot for the moon your competition, THE DOCTORS has a head start, a decent audience and "hit status." The show lead with Laura Berman's a great therapist but she's done the errogenous zones 100 times 100 different places not new and a surprise choice for day 1. OMG please don't make American's Doctor (Oprah's tag) do crazy dances. I dont' think it serves him well to look like a would be contestant on Dancing with the stars.

Jay, was nervous. Wouldn't you be nervous if your job was to save the network and change the television landscape? He landed Kanye 1st interview after the VMA's... facebook & twitter were a buzz. In a soft and gentle fashion he asked the perfect question, "what would his mother have thought of his actions?" Knockout! Seinfeld, Oprah via satelite not shabby. Also on the show a cute bit in the car wash that went on too long...must have been a deluxe wash. The Obama remix with Jay was the best comedy bit in my humble opinion. I watched tonight...he's already more relaxed--you can never count out Jay Leno.
