Oprah didn't know who was going to be involved so each performance was a suprise to her.  Guests who appear include Will Smith, Beyoncé, Tom Hanks, Stevie Wonder, Madonna, Jamie Foxx, Aretha Franklin, Josh Grobin, Tom Cruise, Dakota Fanning and John Legend.

Even trusty Stedman puts in an appearance.

Wow,14 July. I haven't looked at the final episode online,as tempting as that has been. I wonder just what she's going to say,after 25 years,how could she possibly conclude all of that in just one episode?
