On yesterday's Oprah Winfrey Farewell Extravaganza Hallelujah Oprah Is All Powerful Spectacular Part 2, the universe picked up where it left off in Part 1: thanking Oprah for saving humanity. And while the night was full of surprises for the one with the painin' vajayjay, by far the night's biggest surprise came when this guy took the stage...

1. The Oprah Winfrey Show: Iyanla Vanzant was once the go-to expert in matters of the heart on Oprah's show in the '90s. Then the pair had a mysterious falling out. Was it over money? Ego? Gorging rights to the last Big Mac in the bag? The truth has never been revealed, and now emotional wreck Vanzant returns begging forgiveness. But will Oprah be big about it?
One down, four to soak up!

Back in the '90s when Dr. Phil was just another large bald guy who looked like Hank Kingsley and Dr. Oz was still asking men to turn their heads and cough, bestselling author Iyanla Vanzant was dazzling Oprah Winfrey and her audiences with her wisdom on relationships and spirituality.
Then, it all fell apart. Rumors of a falling-out between Op and Iy were rampant. And yet, the truth was never revealed.
Finally—just before the show goes off the air forever and it's simply too late!—the godmother of experts returns to 'fess up and beseech the queen for understanding.
But can Oprah muster up what it takes?
Oprah (Winfrey) welcomed Prince Manvendra (Singh Gohil) on her show this week. Prince Manvendra is the world's only openly gay prince. Oprah had him on a few years ago for her special: Gay Around the World. We would have gone with Around the World in 80 Gays, but hers works, too. Anyway, she brought him back on to catch up on his story, and she got some encouraging personal news about the people of India...

This morning, when we saw this picture, we assumed Oprah was doing another "Favorite Things" episode, only this time her favorite thing was bitch-slapping an Australian celebrity.
"You get to bitch slap Hugh Jackman! And you get to bitch slap Hugh Jackman!"
Alas, we were incorrect. It turns out this was merely the aftermath of a zip lining stunt gone wrong. Please now enjoy this footage of the, er, foremath. Or...the math. Whatever, just watch it.
As every celebrity and most corporations (and celebrities who are corporations) know, a deed of pure benevolence and generosity is essentially worthless unless the public knows about it.
Just ask Kennedy Center honoree Oprah.
Or Joel McHale, who gives his own special nod to the Mother Teresa of billionaires and so much more on a rich new Soup tonight at 10 p.m. ET/PT!
MORE OPRAH: Check out out some of the daytime gabber's most memorable moments.
It's hard to imagine any gift to humanity greater than Oprah Winfrey herself, but darned if the little lady didn't go and shame our imagination to the max.
Yes, it's time to give extra special thanks for what Winfrey is giving—at least if you're a member of her studio audience.
The only way to top that is with the gift of laughter that benevolent Joel McHale will be offering on a fresh new Soup tonight at 10 p.m. ET/PT!

If you're like us, you haven't been able to concentrate on anything, wondering if Halle Berry will play Oprah in an upcoming daytime movie. Or will it be Gabourey Sidibe? Anyway, here's the Soup you missed.

This week, Oprah offers up a special show featuring talk show hosts of the past. Talk show hosts who she has utterly shredded in the numbers, popularity and money-making game. Still, a bunch of ex-chatters swallowed their pride for a blast of air time and showed up to reminisce, Sally Jesse Raphael among them. Remember her? The lady with the trademark red glasses? Ever wonder why she wore those things? No? Well, you're going to find out anyway.
