For decades, Oprah helped set the standard for daytime TV. She's one of the most respected hosts in the history of television and is renowned all over the world for her generous spirit and philanthropy.
But for all her many accolades, there are relics from her past that haunt her to this day. During a recent sitdown with Rob Lowe, Oprah revealed which interview still makes her cringe.
One of the most famous ones being from Ellen's show, where she was interviewing Dakota Johnson.
The interview started with Ellen wishing Dakota a happy belated birthday.
And then, to make us all cringe, Dakota replied: "Actually, no. That’s not the truth, Ellen. You were invited,"
Just thinking about this moment makes my skin crawl.
On the Kyle and Jackie O Show, the interviewer decided to ask Nicole about the suggestive lyrics in Keith Urban's song "Gemini", as they assumed it was about her.
Whether or not she thought it was funny or she felt embarrassed, we don't know, but we were definitely embarrassed FOR her.
And more importantly, as much as it makes us want to disappear into the void due to secondhand embarrassment we LOVE to watch it.
Yes, not even Oprah, one of the biggest names (if not, THE biggest names) in the entertainment industry has had her fair share of awkward and cringe-filled interviews.
After Rob had exchanged pleasantries with the legendary talk show host, he began prying into Oprah's history.
Mainly, Rob wanted to know what question from which celebrity interview still haunted her.
Oprah explained that the actual interview was with Sally Fields; Burt Reynolds' co-star, and ex-lover.
“My big mistake: I asked her, ‘Does Burt sleep with his toupee on?'” That's right, in case you didn't know — Oprah is a straight savage.
Sally Field didn't take very kindly to the offensive question, either.
And instead of dignifying it with a response, she chose to remain as silent as the grave — on live TV no less!
“It was like, ‘Whoa, Sally went cold on me on live TV,'” she said. “I deserved it, I deserved it, I deserved it, ’cause that is such an inappropriate question.”
What do you think, was Oprah acting inappropriately with her questioning?
