It is an envelope: "Oprah" today record final

 That's all, folks: Oprah Winfrey tapes of the last edition of "the oprah winfrey Show" today.

Sheri Salata, executive producer of talk-show Winfrey, confirmed the speculation on Twitter this morning, writing "we are ready." She is ready. :-) "in response to well-wishes a fan for the final of the show." Monday evening, Salata tweeted, "final Rehearsing the oprah @ product today... tomorrow... and then... record"


Salata also described a "different energy in the control room... sometimes intimate and quiet" on Twitter, today, saying that she and her producers colleagues was "very focused". But it offered no clues about the content of the final show.


Harpo Productions has also confirmed that "Oprah" final stages Tuesday afternoon. The Associated Press reported that hundreds of fans gathered outside the studio of Chicago of Winfrey as Gayle King, the best friend of Winfrey, mingled and spoke with the crowd.


Talk with USA Today, Salata predicted that the final moments of the recording of the final show would be very emotional for people behind "oprah."


"We will heat up a storm," she said. "Probably a little crying, taking the other into tight." And certainly feeling a sense of closure for what has been such an unforgettable chapter in our lives.


Final "oprah" airs Wednesday at 10 pm in some markets. After 25 years helming production, Winfrey gave his personal performances of third party - and to-before-last control. They surprised him with performances and appearances of such as Will Smith, Beyonce Knowles, Madonna, and Maria Shriver, among a series of other stars.

They had travelled from Ontario, to the Canada, to see the show, but had no tickets.
