The Oprah Winfrey Show is not only one of the world’s most popular television show but also has magic power that could turn a struggling company into a commercial phenomenon after a single appearance on the show. Oprah Winfrey, the most popular talk-show host of the highest-rated daytime talk show in TV history, is without any competitors in this vast media empire. Even, Winfrey was named the richest African-American in Forbes magazine 2009 and ninth most influential U.S. liberal in the Telegraph 2007. However, her dominant position in the world is totally in contract with her upbringing. Oprah Winfrey was born in a poor family to an unwed teenaged mother in Mississippi. When moving to Tennessee during high school, she took a job in radio and then was chosen for the evening news.
