Oprah, Ellen, Wendy, I don't get it?

Why are you questioning their appeal? Because they're women? Because you're a sexist, male chauvinist pig? Seriously what's the appeal of Jay Leno or Jimmy Fallon? Why don't you question men's appeal?

People happen to like Oprah, Ellen and Wendy for numerous reasons; reasons you chauvinist mind can't seem to grasp.

First of all I have to give fat fat props to michelle for Lol ,second of all who the hell says they are not flawed ? O ,ELLEN AND WENDY would probally admit their flaws easier than most celebrities

and the fact that they dont look like super models yet are huge role models should really bog the mind of a shallow individual

Why should they be more intelligent or attractive than the general population to be popular? Is that was celebrities should be to be popular, better than us? Being "just like the rest of us" and "flawed" make them easier to relate to for the average person. Some people find these celebrities entertaining, they relate to them, and that's why they care about their opinion when it comes to testimonials. I don't think celebrities should be the highest level of heroes in our society, there's plenty of true heroes. But who really cares if these people entertain some of our masses?

Yea, I kinda wondered about the women thing too. I don't consider Oprah or Wendy as comediennes. I'm not sure what you want of a talk show host. Super-human? Unflawed freaks?

Basically, a talk show host should be poised, have a sense of humor, and able to interview guests.

I do like all three you mentioned but the only one I am a really big fan of is Ellen simply because she keeps things simple, carefree and fun on her show.

People just like who they like. There really is no other way to explain the popularity of each one. I do like Oprah but I don't swear by every Oprah like her fanatic fans. And as for Wendy Williams...she seems like a fun person to chat with but in my honest opinion, she's not right for television at all. Her show really lacks pizazz to grab big audiences like Ellen and Oprah for instances. Also, she seems a bit disorganized and that's hard to watch.

You could say the same about any celebrity. Everyone from a talk show host to a pro athlete. With the job comes a lot of clout. Especially with a media who is obsessed with them.

I agree. My heroes are people like my sister who raised 8 children alone after her husband walked out on her or my mother who was equally as brave and always remained a lady. Our society seems to love to adore people they don't really know doing things that are set up by publicists and agents. I guess everyone is entitled to their brand of hero or heroine,but the ladies you mentioned do nothing for me.

in my view i will't stand Oprah. She in basic terms bugs me. i take advantage of to love Tyra, now i'm in basic terms kinda like ehh despite i like Ellen. Her educate is often relaxing. So I ought to bypass with Ellen.

People favor them because they do have flaws and they are less afraid to love them. I suppose people feel comfortable trusting them.

People are different and like the variety. They do it for them
