The queen of all media, Oprah Winfrey, fought back tears a short time ago as she confirmed to her talk show audience that her show will end in 2011. The Chicago Sun-Times writes writes:

"Twenty five years feels right in my bones and right in my spirit," she told her audience, at times tearing up during the announcement. "It is the exact right time."

The Chicago Tribune adds this:

"Why walk away?," she said at the end of her show, fighting back tears. "Here is the real reason. I love this show, this show has been my life, and I love it enough to know when it's time to leave."

Over at Monkey See, Linda Holmes predicts that "the next two years are going to be so insufferable that they will make you forget all about the multiple, tearful, overwrought, tooth-gnashing farewells to Brett Favre."
