Teary Oprah: "25 years feels right in my bones"
Oprah Winfrey broke down in tears (watch it here) as she confirmed the news that she was leaving her talk show in 2011. "Why walk away and make the next season the last?" she asked rhetorically. "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 say 'goodbye.' Twenty-five years feels right in my bones and it feels right in my spirit. It's the perfect number, the exact right time. So I hope you will take this 18-month ride with me right through to the finale show."
