Oprah Winfrey offered to share the cover of O magazine with fellow daytime talk show host Ellen DeGeneres, and DeGeneres -- who’s been campaigning for the spot -- has accepted.
Winfrey surprised DeGeneres with a video telephone call on Friday’s episode of “The Oprah Winfrey Show.”
She told a shocked DeGeneres that she was “calling to officially invite you on the cover of O.”
DeGeneres, who’s been mounting a campaign for the cover during her “Ellen” talk show, told Winfrey: “I can’t believe you’re serious about this. I’m freaking out right now.”
Winfrey had gone solo on the cover of O magazine for nine years before sharing the spot with First Lady Michelle Obama.
