Column: Oprah's interview with Harry and Meghan was damn good TV. What worked and what didn't

dredged from their memories the rituals of appointment viewing and sat through two hours of linear TV.Even more miraculously, millions on the West Coast did this after all the really good stuff had been revealed on social media by Easterners who watched three hours earlier.

All so Oprah could lead Meghan and Harry through their version of the events that led them to forsake their royal status, as well as all the institutionalized money and perks that go with it, to begin life anew in Montecito.complicated personal narrative is the foundation of her empire and why her longtime daily talk show was the premier destination for anyone seeking to explain, clarify, advertise or apologize. Barbara Walters may have invented the “let’s get personal” celebrity interview, but Oprah popularized and perfected it. Whether you were a soccer mom with self-esteem issues or an A-lister with an addiction problem, Oprah was there for you.

At her best, Oprah coaxed out stories with which millions could relate, acting as therapist-rabbi-mother-best friend to the world. At her worst, she trusted untrustworthy subjects or gave too many makeovers.But in the 10 years since Oprah ended her daily show, the world has really seen her only at her best. As with her 2013 interview with disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong, “Oprah With Meghan and Harry” reminded everyone that she remains the High Priestess of the celebrity confessional.

The interview gave more credence than was deserved - an indulged, ultra rich couple, stirring things up from USA; during a Pandemic, which is truly destroying lives! - Why did Harry not get her the outside mental help he & William had? - no mention of her dysfunctional family?

Who are these three ?

During a pandemic when over 500K Americans have died + we have 20-22 American Military Veterans per day commit suicide not just think about it, it's total BS to talk about an actress, Meghan Markle who got herself involved with a dysfunctional family thinking of suicide.......

Exposing racism is the beginning of the healing of all the nations. We are all human beings put on Earth to learn unconditional love. The royals need truth and more love in their hearts. We are all multi-racial. The lie needs to stop that the color of skin makes one different.

EXCELLENT Interview...

Oprah who's the RACIST 🤬🤬🤬 wake up America

Love the last line of this article. 👏💅💃🏻

Harry and Meghan were perfectly happy to accept 32 million from taxpayers for a wedding while children are going hungry until it all went wrong but they're no different from the rest

Meghan Markle lied [PERIOD] .. If she want to speak the truth, she should name names! Her excuse not to name names was 'I don't want to hurt the Royal Family.' - Such a lame excuse especially what she is doing is to hurt the Royal Family!

Everyone came out of that interview more damaged and tainted. Trashing your family and homeland on International TV to achieve nothing, really. It's sad.

All it achieved was creating more animosity in Harry's homeland and much of the Commonwealth. He has burned all his bridges and will never be welcome back in the UK. Hopefully the Americans won't get tired of them, because they have nowhere else to go now.

You forgot to include to what didn't work was the truth or veracity of their claims. You can't just assume everything they said was true.

I don’t trust or believe Meghan, big statements and claims, zero credibility because she didn’t name names, witnesses, dates, etc. unacceptable attack on the House of Windsor with no substance. Big discrimination, she’s evil and has an agenda, and don’t try the racist argument.

Wow language

Oprah Winfrey reprised 'Big Event TV' with Harry and Meghan interviewThe two-hour extravaganza on CBS demonstrated the power of broadcast TV -- and Oprah Winfrey. Oprah was compromised; she attended the wedding even though she was not acquainted with Meghan and Harry. She is pals with Meghan and lives down the road. It was a flawed interview because she did not address the bullying claims or Charities Commission inquiry into M&H's charity! I don’t trust or believe Meghan, big statements and claims, zero credibility because she didn’t name names, witnesses, dates, etc. unacceptable attack on the House of Windsor with no substance. Big discrimination, she’s evil and has an agenda, and don’t try the racist argument. QWEENS MAKING A BIG DIFFERENCE.

Prince Harry and Meghan TV interview draws 17.1 million American TV viewers, CBS saysSome 17.1 million Americans - one of the biggest TV events in the past year - watched Oprah Winfrey's bombshell television interview with Prince Harry and his wife Meghan, broadcaster CBS said on Monday. Don’t count me in, I ain’t watching that Stockholm syndrome ... 😏😎 Prince Louis was born on the 23rd of April and Meghan's wedding was in May. As a new mother and dealing with a narcissist, I believe Kate did a good job. Harry is not a man, who told the world that his dad, didn't give him more millions. Find a job at KFC Harry and be a man. The British royalty should be ashamed of themselves for such racism and abuse of a woman of colour. Disgusting. Abolish the monarchy.
