I’m thinking that if I’m Oprah Winfrey I’m on the phone to Keith last night.
But then if I’m Keith Olbermann – I’ve already talked to Oprah!
Let’s face it OWN (Oprah Winfrey Network) is going to have a progressive bent to it – and is not going to walk the walk.
An ideal match in my opinion – add some instant spice to the new network salad that Oprah is mixing.
Another possibility is that he takes Regis Philbins place!
Heres what I envision the conversation would be like:
ring ring
Keith: Hello?
Oprah: Hi Keith this is Oprah
Keith: I know -you couldn’t have my number if you weren’t Oprah. How are you?
Oprah: I’m fine Keith. I hope you don’t mind my calling?
keith: Not at all – I could use the company. Let me guess … you want to borrow a cup of sugar?
Oprah: keith, your hilarious. Actually I won’t take up your time right now but I wanted to be among the first to wish you well and hope we see you again soon. I know you will continue to be very successful at whatever you do.
keith: Thank you Oprah I appreciate the thought and I wish you success with OWN. Perhaps we should get together and share our thoughts on life in the media.
Oprah: I’d like that very much.
keith: Great! Your place or mine?
Oprah: It doesn’t matter. Is tomorrow good for you?
keith: Tomorrow is just fine … I have nothing to do tomorrow.
Oprah: Good Keith – I’ll call you back once I check my schedule for tomorrow and we can decide when and where.
Keith: I’ll look forward to hearing from you.
Oprah: Fine, I’m excited. Catch you later.
keith: Goodnight Oprah.
Oprah: Goodnight keith.
