Oprah Winfrey knows how to keep viewers on the edge of their seats.
Knowing that viewers were tuning in to her Friday show to hear the queen of talk confirm that the "Oprah Winfrey Show" was coming to an end, Winfrey had not one, not two, but three guests on before finally announcing that the end for "Oprah" had arrived.
In other words, it was business as usual.
In an interview with Bradley Lockhart, whose 5-year-old daughter Shaniya Davis was found dead on the side of a North Carolina highway Monday, Winfrey provided the kind of heart-wrenching interview that she is known for.
Lockhart and his sister, Carey, sat down via satellite for their first television appearance since the news broke about Shaniya.
"My heart and the country's heart bleeds for you," Winfrey told them.
