Oprah Winfrey Farewell Season 2010 Australia Trips and John Travolta Premiere

Oprah Winfrey's farewell season 2010 brings an Australia trip and interview with John Travolta. She's made us laugh, she's made us cry and now it's time for Oprah to say goodbye. This season, the generosity that the famed TV show hostess has bestowed on us is only compounded, as an entire audience is invited to Australia free of charge.

Yes, that's right - she's flying people to Australia.

Oprah's been known to give people great gifts - Hermes scarves, even Cadillacs. However, this is her farewell season, and she's going to make sure it goes down in TV history.

Those that love Oprah should know that she's probably not going to be gone from TV for too long. She has her own network, ironically named OWN (Oprah Winfrey Network) that's set to debut in 2011. I wouldn't doubt if she has her own talk show lined up on that network, as opposed to the network she has been on for so long.

After introducing John Travolta to the audience during her season premiere, he said "If I may be so bold as to speak for the public, speak for the world, you have this rare ability to inject knowledge, help, hope, love and art into the culture. Oprah, there's only one of you, and there will never be another one. You are our queen, and we thank you for allowing us to be part of your life. And we're lucky to be a part of your life."

This was, of course, after Oprah told the former Grease actor "25 years later you still make my heart go pitter-patter."

Travolta has done Oprah 11 times in his career.

With John Travolta there, Oprah had plenty of dancing talent, but what about singing? Her producers had that down, as Paul Simon made a surprise appearance and sang a song he wrote 15 years ago for her 10^th season. Of course, he tweaked it for her fifth and final season.

SO, we have followed her through her weight fluctuations, she's helped us with our self esteem, and got stars to say crazy things and do crazy things. She's a television icon of our era, and will most definitely go down in television history. Since I was a little girl curled up on the floor at my grandma's house, I have been watching Oprah. I am going to have to TiVo her last season, as I work during the hours that it airs.

I still can't believe that Oprah's farewell season is taking her audience to Australia - I can't imagine what else she has in store during this 25^th year yet.
