Get On Today's Hottest TV Talk Shows

- Who's your Inspiration?

- Party!

The second (and personally my favorite) place is to look at the show archives here: http://www.oprah.com/tows/pastshows/tows_past_main.jhtml

Here you can see a list of every show (by date) run since January 1999 (which by the way, is an interesting way to see the way the show has morphed from 1999's Sexiest Island Man and Island Newlywed Game to today's more life changing [what? meeting up with a sexy man on an island doesn't change your life?] topics)

Again, each day's subject is linked to a page that gives more detail on that day's show, so you can find out exactly the tack she took in talking about it.

Here are some samples from the archive to show you the power of this tool:

As you can see from this list, Oprah deals with a fairly wide range of topics.

How could you fit what you sell into an Oprah topic?

The View:

Those of you who work during the day may not be aware that there is another highly-rated talk show that comes on right after Oprah called "The View" featuring Barbara Walters and four other women. They're lots more cutting edge (and frankly cutting - I can't watch this show because they make me mad...), but the show gets good ratings and should be on your radar screen if you have a topic that appeals to women.

The View is different than Oprah and most of the other daytime talk shows, because it covers a range of topics in each show.

Here's this week's topics as found on http://abc.abcnews.go.com/theview/schedule/schedule.html

MONDAY October 21 Geena Davis; how to fix hair disasters; "The View on Crime" investigates a case involving a woman's death and automobile safety.

TUESDAY October 22 Tim Robbins (The Truth About Charlie); runway-to-reality fashion show; musical guest Keith Urban; two CIA wives (authors, Dare to Repair) tell the co-hosts about their fix-it book written because their husbands were always "on the job."

WEDNESDAY October 23 MTV's Carson Daly; the hottest new cars for women; musical guest Kelly Roland.

THURSDAY October 24 Mia Farrow; musical guest Rod Stewart; Barbara Walters responds to mail addressed to "Barbara's Mail Bag"; part one of "The Total View Makeover" introduces the lucky viewer who will receive a month-long head-to-toe makeover.

FRIDAY October 25 Gabriel Byrne (Ghost Ship); Kelli Williams (ABC's The Practice); Dr. Steven Lamm outlines medications that serve dual purposes.

Resources to help you get on these shows:

As you are aware, one of our most best-selling products is a manual entitled
"The Ultimate Guide To Getting Booked On Oprah"

Due to the incredible popularity of that manual, we have also produced a series of Audio CD's on the subject. How To Get On Oprah is a massive 3-AudioCD series, providing you three hours and 20 minutes of power-packed information from publicist Susan Harrow. The first CD contains an interview with Susan, where she takes you step-by-step through the process of getting booked onto Oprah. The second 2 CD's take that discussion from theory into practice as you hear Susan consult with 7 different people, helping them understand how they can tweak their pitch to successfully get onto The Oprah Show. You'll find this second section invaluable in creating new ideas, and gaining a better understanding of how you can achieve your goal to get on this most powerful of all daytime talk shows.
