Is The Queen of Talk offering scandal-scarred and financially-strapped Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson a primetime gabfest on the eagerly-awaited Oprah Network?
Billion-dollar businesswoman Oprah is expanding her empire to launch her own cable channel in 2011 and has reportedly offered Sarah Ferguson a deal for a talk show of her own.
Fergie has made a number of appearances on The Oprah Show over the years, most recently on May 28 when she found herself at the center of a bribery scandal for asking for $860,000 in return for access to her ex-husband, Prince Andrew. The shamed Duchess is struggling with debt totaling nearly $5 million, making O’s offer a tough one to refuse.
A well-placed tipster told the Mail on Sunday: “Oprah made the call this week. They spoke in person and, for Sarah, the offer is a ray of light at the end of a very dark tunnel. Oprah has known Sarah for some time and the Duchess went on Oprah’s show to explain herself after her most recent scandal. Oprah has always been impressed by Sarah’s ability to pick herself up and reinvent herself.”
The Oprah Winfrey Network will launch in January, just a few months before the Chatshow Queen ends her highest-rated TV talk show after 25 years in Sept. 2011.
