The final episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show aired on May 25, 2011. The two-part farewell show ended off a season of extravagant episodes. In the premiere of the final season, Oprah announced that she was flying all 300 audience members with her to Australia and that John Travolta would be the pilot. The finale ended with thank yous and tears.

Despite ending her show, the OWN cable channel has still provided fans with the Oprah outlet they need. With multiple shows that Oprah still hosts, it seems Oprah isn’t ready to be away from the small screen yet.
