Nearly a decade after the last episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show aired, Oprah Winfrey admits she still thinks about bringing it back.

“I would love to make that happen, let me tell you,” the talk show titan said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight. “But maybe not every day. For 25 years, it was perfect.”

Winfrey said she misses the series when big stories break and during election cycles.

“I think, ‘Oh gee, I wish I had a show,’ ” she revealed.

Winfrey now runs the OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network, produces films and is currently promoting her new book, The Path Made Clear: Discovering Your Life’s Direction and Purpose.

OWN is a multinational cable television network that launched in January 2011, and by February was available to approximately 81.9 million homes. The network is a joint venture between Warner Bros. Discovery and Harpo Studios, and replaced the Discovery Health Channel.
