For the first time, Oprah was omitted from Time’s Most Influential People List since the list started in 1999. She’s the only person to make the list year after year, and this year…she didn’t make it. I wonder how that makes her feel? OWN is failing, she didn’t make Time’s List. I wonder if this is the first time she’s received an F on her report card? Sucks, she can’t even go to summer school to fix it.

What’s next?? Her pet’s head falling off?

I bet you she’s going to do a special within the year about being humbled, and how human it is to be humbled when you’re fighting the good fight. Or, the opposite could happen…she’ll release a statement saying she’s asked to be removed from the list because she wanted to give other people a chance to be recognized as influential.

Sad times for The Big O. Time has big balls to take her majesty off the list.

About

Although comedy is her profession, Nadine has accomplished a lot in her young age. She is a national champion black belt, a world-class soccer player, and an avid snowboarder. She started playing soccer at the age of 4, and continued playing through college where she majored in Biology, but quickly realized her destiny was to tell jokes, not to wear a lab coat. So she decided to be funny while finishing her Bachelors Degree in biology and continued on to get her M.B.A. Nadine’s comedy style is much like her athleticism, fearless. She’s made her way up the comedy ladder very quickly, and has become a club favorite at many of the country’s top comedy clubs, including the Improv chain. Performing in the Boston Comedy Festival and being noted as the “one of the youngest and brightest up and comers” and traveling to the Middle East to entertain the troops are just a few of her notable accomplishments. These days Nadine splits time between the stage, a radio studio, her computer blogging, and a television studio. Nadine’s TV, Radio, Writing credits include: national commercials, talking head roles on E! Entertainment, Showtime’s Hot Tamales Live, The Skinny: Fat Free News, The Sunny Side of The Truth: Real World Hollywood, TVgasm, Zazreport, Daddy’s Girls, Jerseylicious, celebrity interviews on Mania TV, a weekly half-hour television show that syndicates to colleges across the country for National Lampoon and a nightly radio show on XM Satellite Radio.

    I knew Oprahs empire was collapsing when she allowed Gail to go to work for CBS Morning. She never lets Gail do anything outside of The Harpo studio..

    If she had been included, she would have insisted the list have her name attached to it.
    “Oprah’s Most Influential list.”

    Looking at it, MaryE, “Least favorite” things works better.

    She generally never lets Gail do anything except wear the strap-on.

    Oprah is a huge influence on me. She influences me to want to kill her.

    NWMTV, did you factor in the cost of exhuming Mel?
