Tomorrow On Oprah: A Historic Daytime Talk Show Host Reunion

Watching Oprah‘s show tomorrow might make you flash back to your childhood—specifically, the days when you stayed home sick from school and spent the afternoon channel surfing. That’s because the Queen of All Media will be welcoming a very special slate of guest stars: former talk show hosts Phil Donahue, Geraldo Rivera, Sally Jessy Raphael, Ricki Lake and Montel Williams.

According to a press release, Oprah and her former competitors will be discussing their experiences in daytime TV, as well as celebrating the final season of The Oprah Winfrey Show. If the crew could also take a few minutes to send some troubled teens to boot camp, we think the episode would be just about perfect.

It would also be great if this episode of Oprah worked as a sort of backdoor pilot for a new talk show, one featuring this dream team of former hosts sitting around and gabbing, View-style. We know we’d watch it; would you?
