Oprah's Star-Studded Farewell Show: Celebrities Pack Chicago's United Center

Tens of thousands of Oprah Winfrey fans lined up at Chicago's United Center Tuesday evening for the taping of "Surprise Oprah! A Farewell Spectacular," which may be the biggest gathering of A-list celebrities that the city has ever seen.

More than 154,000 people requested tickets to the two-show taping, and the lucky ticket winners were asked to be at the United Center by 5 p.m. when doors opened. The first taping began around 7 p.m., when Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise surprised the biggest star of the show--Winfrey herself. Then, a performance by Patti LaBelle and Josh Groban, a confession from Madonna, a video salute from Tina Fey and Steve Carell, a Dakota Fanning moment and a performance by Beyonce--all in the first hour.

Beyonce, who sang and danced to "Girls (Who Rule the World)" was reportedly unhappy with her first performance, so she did it again. The first show ended with appearances by Diane Sawyer, Halle Berry, Katie Holmes, Queen Latifah and a performance by Rascall Flatts.

The second part of the show (which will air on May 24) began around 9:30 p.m., when Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan surprised Winfrey. Actor Will Smith introduced Jordan, describing the United Center as the "house that Michael Jordan built." His statue sits outside the building, where led the Chicago Bulls to six NBA championships during the 1990s.

"M.J. is in the house!" Winfrey yelled.

Michael Jordan was there, but is he called MJ too? Never heard of it. When MJ is said I can think of Michael Jackson only. And when you google MJ, all you find is Michael Jackson related web pages.

I thought his nickname is Air Jordan? Magic Johnson is another MJ. Wow lots of MJs around but I know only one of them.  :mrgreen:  mj_dance/

It is. But he's referred to in Chicago as MJ for short. On a national level MJ is Michael Jackson. In Chicago MJ is Michael Jordan.

Sure thing. I did a double take when I saw your title but then I realized she meant MJ=Jordan. People were watching her and this final show too.

Yes, but Oprah's not a local talk-show, she's national/international. Therefore I vote she knows what she's saying by "MJ". She knows she's covered and innocent-looking by saying MJ because of local usage, but what she's really dropping is "MJ's in the house"! For real.  Just my take/hope!! mj_bad/ Something's going on--I can feel it!

Oprah Winfrey, is all over the world, Mj for Michael Jordan is only in Chicago. So she knows that, why is she saying that, so we can put our hopes up? Or unless there will be 2 MJ's?? Just a hunch.

And if we think about how she used THIS IS IT, THIS IS THE MOMENT for her show, it is really interesting to me how she calls M. Jordan as MJ. Maybe there is nothing behind it and she's calling him with his nickname only but maybe she is trying to refer Michael Jackson. Can be both too.

I should probably add that in Space Jam, Bugs Bunny called Michael Jordan "MJ". As did a couple other characters if I recall correctly!

[size=150]WHAAAAAAT? [/size]

Well they say The Sky\'s The Limit . And to me that\'s really True. But my friend, you have seen nothing; [size=150]Just wait til I get through![/size] ;][/b]

I absolutely agree!!! When she announced she was ending her show she told us that day. The last show was going to BLOW OUR MIND. My first thoughts were MJ and it sure wasnt Michael Jordan lol. MJ and MJ were good friends though :) They made a video together  ;)  8-) Yep i think somethin is up  8-)
