The power behind Oprah lays behind one simple fact: she loves humanity. All humanity. For Oprah, the secret behind her success is the ability to put everyone on common ground. In the Oprah Winfrey Show, this woman celebrates not only the celebrities that sit on her couch, but the average Joe that is invited in as well.
    I've watched more episodes of the Oprah Winfrey show episodes that have brought me to tears than any other daytime television. Oprah focuses on the strength behind the average man. She finds the hero in individuals. With her charitable acts, Oprah is able to make each person feel the genuine affection she has for everyone.
    When celebrities are invited onto to Oprah Winfrey show, she doesn't focus on their "status." Instead, she wants to know about their personal lives. It's not about the movies they've starred in, but the relationships they have. Each of these people, stranger or long time acquaintance, is treated like a friend. She asks the questions that show celebrities as "real" people.
    I was always surprised to see Oprah on the cover of Oprah magazine every month. That is, until I realized what an icon and great role model Oprah is. Why shouldn't she be featured on her own Oprah magazine? The woman is an icon for humanity. She ought to be celebrated for making us realize that we are truly all the same-celebrity or not.
    The magic of the Oprah Winfrey Show is based around the magic of a single woman.
