Kristen's Oprah Experience

Kristen, and her good friend Emily, attended a taping of the Oprah Winfrey Show today. The segment was a contentious one - the publishing of O.J.'s book on the murder of his wife and Ronald Goldman.

The segment was scheduled prior to all the recent activity of the Goldman's gaining ownership and power to publish the book. So, no need to focus on that. Instead, it is the experience that Kristen found interesting.

Basically, Kristen got to the show courtesy of Emily. She responded to some questionnaire or submitted a question to the show regarding the segment. Emily was selected to appear - and ask the question - on the show! The perk...she got to bring a guest! Lucky for Kristen, our condo is in the same 'hood as Oprah's studio.

Well, pregnancy apparently does have its benefits. They got to jump the line, were first to the seat, first to use the bathroom after the show and received complimentary water. As for Emily, she got the star treatment. Whisked to the green room for hair and makeup, she was suppose to appear on camera. Unfortunately, questions from the audience were cancelled due to the subject. Kristen mentioned Oprah was conflicted from the start regarding the show and on the heels of an emotional 9/11 taping, the format was changed.

However, they sat second row behind Marcia Clark and Christopher Darden, so set your DVR for Thursday's airing to catch these two ladies on Oprah!

well, we are on the show- sorta... there are a few glimpses of the back of our heads and Baby J when see pans the audience. The best shot is when she asks the blond in pink about her reaction- there we are behind her! So no face time but still a fun experience.

Hi. I came across your blog when searching for info on the OJ book. You mentioned that you sat behind Chris Darden and Marcia Clark. I read that they are no longer speaking...did you see any interaction between them?? Glad to hear you had a good experience. Thanks!

Renee,

Thanks for visiting the blog. They seemed quite affable towards one another. Marcia even reached out and touched Chris at one point during the show.

I told Kristen there was a nice shot of Emily's chin and necklace at one point when Darden was speaking. Also, I saw the back of your heads a lot as they panned out to go to commercial. I didn't know that Emily potentially could have asked a question!
