 Oprah Winfrey Travel Career Ended After 25 Years  

Oprah Winfrey walked on stage for her talk show finale Wednesday to a 

standing ovation from her studio audience before thanking her viewers for watching for a quarter of a century.

"There will be no guests, no surprises," they told her audience. "You won't be getting a automobile. This last hour is about me saying thank you. It is my love letter to you."

Winfrey said they was eternally grateful to her audience.

"Twenty-five years & I am still saying 'Thank you The united states,'" they said. "Thank you a lot. There's no words to match this moment."

Winfrey told them that sometimes they was a teacher, but more often her viewers taught her. They called the episode her "last class," & talked about the lessons they had learned over the coursework of the show. They urged her viewers to "be the safe harbor for someone else, to do for them what you have said the show has completed for you."

They closed the show by saying her departure was "all sweet & not bitter" & telling her audience, "I won't say goodbye, I'll say, until they meet again. To God be the glory."

The show's first moment was a clip of Winfrey's first show. They taped the last episode of "The Oprah Winfrey Show" on Tuesday in Chicago.

Winfrey was the only person on stage with tiny background music & very short flashback clips.
"When they came out, her appearance, the way they stepped on stage & the message they brought about finding yourself, your purpose," said audience member Wanda Nash, 47, of Chicago, an executive assistant & foster parent. "It was all about Oprah."

Winfrey kissed & hugged her longtime partner, Stedman Graham, & made her way through the halls of Harpo Studios, saying goodbye to her staff, audience members said.

Winfrey announced in November 2009 that they would finish her popular talk show after 25 years.

The bare-bones final taping had its share of celebrities in the audience including Tyler Perry, Maria Shriver, Suze Orman & Cicely Tyson, but none of them joined Winfrey on stage.

Tuesday's taping came a week after Hollywood's A-list & 13,000 fans bid Winfrey farewell in the coursework of a double-episode extravaganza at Chicago's United Middle. The shows that aired Monday & Tuesday included Aretha Franklin, Tom Cruise, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jordan & Madonna, among other stars of tv, music & flicks. They were a quantity of the about 30,000 guests on the show over 25 years.

There were 404 audience members, according to Harpo Productions. The show received one.4 million ticket requests throughout its final season, the company said.

Oprah will now transition full-time to the Oprah Winfrey Network, the cable channel they created in January.
