Some of Hollywood’s big names — including Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes, Madonna, Beyoncé and Tom Hanks — have all taken part in one of Oprah Winfrey‘s final shows to bid her farewell from her talk-show host role.
The ‘Surprise Oprah!’ show, recorded in front of 13,000 audience members in Chicago, saw Tom Hanks act as master of ceremonies and invite a number of well-known celebrities onto the stage to each surprise the 57-year-old with a message of appreciation.
“Millions of people are inspired by Oprah,” Madonna said. “I am one of those people … She has balls and a wealth of compassion, and I have learned so much from her.”
