    Winfrey joins Kimmel's post-Oscar extravaganza

    LOS ANGELES (AP) — Oprah Winfrey is the latest celebrity to join Jimmy Kimmel's seventh post-Oscar special.

    ABC made the announcement Thursday.

    Winfrey is making a rare late-night appearance at a time when her year-old cable channel, OWN, is trying to attract viewers after a rocky start. She's been more visible on the channel as well, with a new weekly series, "Oprah's Next Chapter."

    Billy Crystal, who is hosting the Oscar ceremony, will help kick off "Jimmy Kimmel Live: After the Academy Awards." Nominees Meryl Streep, George Clooney and Martin Scorsese will be among the stars on hand.

    A performance by Coldplay will wrap up the show.

    Kimmel's Oscar-night special has yielded comedy pieces that became online sensations, including one with Sarah Silverman and Matt Damon and "Handsome Men's Club" featuring Matthew McConaughey and Sting.

    The Oscars will air from a Hollywood theater Feb. 26 at 8:30 p.m. EST, with Kimmel's show to follow the awards and local newscasts.

      This was the best post Oscar show ever. Jimmy Kimmel is hilarious, and it was nice to see Oprah acting the fool.

      Kimmel makes fun of Oprah a lot. This should be awkward.

      How dissapointing to see Oprah join the failure club....how desperate must be to have agreed to do this skid for ratings . Ratings are nothing to destroy all that she has done to be so admired. Its time to pack your bags, take your loses and OWN your failures.....after all you are just the same as all of us. To err is human!!!!

      Be careful Kimmel.The most dangerous place to stand is between Oprah and a camera!

        Also it's quite dangerous to stand between her and a buffet. You might get teeth marks.

      Sounds like a good reason to watch something else.
    • Michael  •  Everett, Washington  •  3 mths ago

      Oprah needs to go away. She is so into herself, she cant stay out of the media.
    • SDEater  •  3 mths ago
      This wretched woman's need for constant attention is nothing less than pitiful. I'm actually beginning to feel sorry for her. Nothing will ever enough. It's a hole that can never be filled.

      Oprah is having to get accustomed to not being the main attraction anymore.
    • ann  •  3 mths ago
      Oprah must be desperate to appear with Jimmy Kimmel. He has been obsessing about Oprah for years.
    • 19MCJ50  •  3 mths ago
      I think, if Oprah would just GET REAL for a moment, she would admit she was the ranking Queen of daytime talk shows because IT WAS FREE to watch her. I am not going to pay to see this woman on cable every day. She's so far from REAL is laughable.

      Hey Oprah, feel lonely when your 15 minutes are over, no?
    • Rooster  •  3 mths ago
      She's not getting the attention she "deserves" because people won't pay to see her on OWN. It's like she is having to come back and let people see her for free just to get a breath of air. The comments about her being racist are correct. Google her name and "Good white folks."

        You're pathetic.
    • Jl  •  3 mths ago
      When she starts doing good deeds for Americans, not Africans, I will be interested. She has forgotten the 49 million people in AMERICA who are living below the poverty level.
    • alex m  •  Chicago, Illinois  •  3 mths ago
      another channel to add to my don't watch list.
    • Frenchie  •  3 mths ago
      Only Nielson Box owners need to watch.
    • TheBride  •  Aberdeen, Maryland  •  3 mths ago
      Of course she is.

      Desperate times call for desperate measures. She can't get a viewer on her own network, so she'll latch on to someone who can. Why can't she stay home on Oscar night and watch it on tv?? She can throw all her money at that boring channel of hers, it won't help. All the 'yes' folks she had around her telling her how wonderful she was were wrong. Out in the real world, she ain't liked so much.LOL And she can't change it and she doesn't know what to do about it.
