[–] PoastRotato@lemmy.world 87 points 2 years ago (1 child) Easily the most disappointing day of Oprah's life permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Starshader@lemmy.ml 37 points 2 years ago (5 children) I can confidently say that 90% of the people where I live have no idea who Oprah is. She's not famous outside of the US, because, contrarly to singers, actors, sport stars... she doesn't export anything. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 10 child comments replies: [–] echodot@feddit.uk 25 points 2 years ago (1 child) I think I know who we're talking about.

She is a rich nobody. I eventually looked up who she was out of curiosity a few years ago. No idea how she got rich (rich parents?) but tends to be weird foreign philanthropist who makes people act like they worship her in exchange for expensive gifts. Shrug. Still unknown here in Australia. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] wildginger@lemmy.myserv.one 5 points 2 years ago I mean, she was the face of a pretty massive talk show for a long time. She was the housewife jimmy fallon. Do you consider any talk show host a nobody? Or just the ones on shows not aired in your country? Im sure theres plenty of famous auzzies and kiwis youve grown up seeing on tv that most people have never heard of, doesnt make them a nobody. permalink fedilink source parent [–] metallic_z3r0@infosec.pub 2 points 2 years ago Nah, she was pretty poor growing up, she only became wealthy as a TV personality, literally became rich by becoming famous, if only mostly in the US. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Grass@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago From what I can remember she was mostly one of those whatever ellen was (not including when she was dory from finding Nemo) permalink fedilink source parent [–] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago She was an actress though. permalink fedilink source parent [+] Mr_Blott@lemmy.world -6 points 2 years ago (1 child) Sports stars?
