Oprah Winfrey appears on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” today October 4, 2017, at a time when the nation is still reeling from the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history.
The 63-year-old “60 Minutes” contributor expressed concern for those affected by the massacre Sunday night in Las Vegas. “I feel the soul of the nation. I feel the ache that we all feel. As the names are coming out and you get to see who they are by name, I speak their names out loud in thoughtful prayer,” she told DeGeneres. “And I think this is a time for all of us to, first of all, appreciate the ordinary.”
Winfrey said she often thinks about those who died in the September 11 terrorist attacks, and how each woke up that morning unaware of the tragedy to come.
“I think, ‘All those people that morning did the same thing, and it was such an ordinary day.’ And I think about everybody who went to that concert the other night—it was just an ordinary day. And (I think about) how excited everybody was to be out in the open air and be at that concert, and then they didn’t come home,” she continued. “It helps us. This is a reminder to all of us to appreciate the ordinariness of our days because that’s what makes life extraordinary.”
Winfrey then thanked Ellen for trying to lift spirits in her monologue to start the show. “This is the best I’ve felt in the past couple of days, being able to spend time with you and come do the show. You know, we all have ways of teaching and healing. I did it for 25 years on the air. And I say this with just the deepest love for you: You make everybody feel better. You,” she told the comedienne. “You make everybody feel better and this show makes everybody feel better.”
