Ebert, Oprah! Oprah, Ebert!

You may have heard that Oprah Winfrey is crediting Roger Ebert with getting her into TV syndication — and therefore making Oprah the mighty presence that she is today. The always useful www.tvtattle.com today has Ebert's description of that meeting, and some background about his acquaintance with Oprah, which you can find here.
You may be amused by Ebert's math. I thought he also gave a pretty apt description of what one could encounter on the talk-show circuit — and you can see how much he still misses old TV partner Gene Siskel.
