>> Stephen: HEY, EVERYBODY, WELCOME BACK.
WE'RE HERE WITH MISS OPRAH WINFREY.
THANK YOU.
>> Stephen: BEFORE THE BREAK WE WERE TALKING ABOUT "A WRINKLE
IN TIME," AND YOUR WONDERFUL COSTARS REESE WITHERSPOON, AND
MANDY KALING, WHO ARE ON TOMORROW AND THE NEXT DAY HERE.
WE'RE VERY HAPPY TO HAVE THEM.
THAT MUST BE A FUN GROUP OF PEOPLE, THE THREE OF YOU HANGING
OUT TOGETHER.
>> OH, WE HAD A HOT TIME.
OH, YEAH.
>> Stephen: YEAH.
>> IT WAS THE MOST FUN EVER.
>> Stephen: YOU ALL HAVE POWERS IN THIS MOVIE.
DO YOU HAVE INDIVIDUAL POWERS, LIKE, IN REAL LIFE.
DID YOU IDENTIFY YOUR OWN SUPERPOWERS?
>> THOSE ARE THE TALKINGEST GIRLS.
I HOPE YOU GET A WORD IN EDGEWISE.
THEY ARE THE TALKINGEST WOMEN I HAVE EVER BEEN AROUND.
THEY DON'T STOP.
LIKE IN THE MORNING IN THE TRAILER.
THEY KNOW EVERY POP CULTURE PERSON, EVENT, EVERYTHING THAT'S
GOING ON.
THEY TALK CONSTANTLY.
IF YOU PUT THE TWO OF THEM TOGETHER, YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO
GET A WORD IN.
>> Stephen: THAT'S WHY WE SEPARATED THEM.
WE HAD TO.
I HEARD SOMETHING, THAT YOU ACTUALLY HAVE AN ODD PHOBIA THAT
I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT.
GUM CHEWING-- >> IT'S NOT A PHOBIA!
( LAUGHTER ) I MEAN --
>> Stephen: ARE YOU GOING TO YELL THROUGH THIS ENTIRE
INTERVIEW?
( LAUGHTER ).
>> NO, NO.
I KNOW, I HAVE THIS SOMESTRONG FEEL BUSINESS IT.
>> Stephen: I UNDERSTAND.
YOU'RE EEGHT THE SET RIGHT NOW.
OKAY.
SO IT'S NOT A PHOBIA.
YOU INTENSELY DISLIKE GUM CHEWING.
>> I INTENSELY DISLIKE IT.
AND IT COMES FROM MY CHILDHOOD.
>> Stephen: OKAY.
>> I GREW UP POOR IN MISSISSIPPI, AND GRIE MY
GRANDMOTHER-- THIS IS ABSOLUTELY NO I HAD PERPLY.
MY GRANDMOTHER WOULD TRY TO SAVE THE GUM, SO SHE WOULD LITERALLY
IT'S COUNTRY SONG ABOUT THE GUM ON THE BED POST AT NIGHT.
SHE WOULD PUT IT ON THE BED POST AND CABINET AND EVERYWHERE
AROUND.
AS A CHILD I WOULD BUMP INTO IT, AND IT WOULD RUB UP AGAINST ME.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE WHEN YOU HAVE TAKEN IT OUT OF YOUR
MOUTH AND IT'S BEEN OUT FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS?
IT'S BAD.
SO I WAS AFRAID OF IT.
I WAS AFRAID OF IT.
>> Stephen: SO WHAT HAPPENS IF, LIKE, YOU'RE SOME PLACE, AND
SOMEBODY WALKS IN CHEWING GUM, LIKE--
>> IT'S NOT GOOD.
I HAD IT BARRED-- IT'S BARRED AT MY OFFICES.
NOBODY IS ALLOWED.
BUT WHEN I GO OUT INTO THE WORLD, I CAN'T BAR IT.
( LAUGHTER ) I HAVE NO-- I HAVE NO POWERS
THERE.
>> Stephen: HOW DO YOU RESPOND?
DOES EVERYBODY YOU WORK WITH KNOW THIS?
>> EVERYBODY I WORK WITH KNOWS THIS!
>> Stephen: WOW.
>> DO NOT CHEW GUM IN FRONT OF ME!
>> Stephen: I HAVE-- I HAVE DONE SEVERAL THINGS WITH YOU.
NO ONE WARNED ME.
I MEAN, THANK GOD.
( LAUGHTER ) ( APPLAUSE ).
>> IT'S A THING.
IT'S A THING.
IT CREEPS ME OUT.
>> Stephen: ALL RIGHT, NO GUM, NO GUM.
SPIT IT OUT, EVERYBODY.
( LAUGHTER ) >> THIS IS WHAT YOU REALIZE,
TOO.
CREWS ARE CHEWING IT ALL THE TIME.
SO I JUST IGNORE IT.
I PRETEND I DON'T SEE IT.
I KEEP MOVING.
>> Stephen: GOODING, THAT'S HEALTHY.
>> ACTUALLY, REESE COMES UP TO ME ON THE SET AND SAYS, "DO YOU
WANT A PIECE OF GUM?" AND IT'S LIKE THAT.
AND IT'S GREEM-- LIKE, IF IT'S COLORED, I JUST GO CRAZY.
>> Stephen: DID SHE KNOW AND WAS JUST PUSHING YOUR BUTTONS?
>> SHE DIDN'T KNOW.
AND I SAID, "I HAVE A PROBLEM."
"WHAT KIND OF PROBLEM?" AND THEN, "OH, THAT'S TOO BAD."
AND SHE WALKED OFF.
>> Stephen: I WILL ASK HER ABOUT IT TOMORROW.
>> ASK HER.
>> Stephen: ONE OF THE THINGS I WAS SAYING BEFORE THE BREAK IS
THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SEE YOU
BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OR AT LEAST RUN TO BE
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ).
>> I FEEL HUMBLED AND HONORED BY THAT.
JUST ISN'T SOMETHING-- I'VE SAID THIS BEFORE.
I WOULD KNOW IT.
I MEAN, IT WOULD BE, YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY SAYING IT, I AM VERY
MUCH IN TOUCH WITH MY INNER G.P.S.
I'M IN TOUCH WITH GOD, THE VOICE OF GOD.
>> Stephen: IN FACT YOU SAID-- AGAIN IN "PEOPLE" MAGAZINE,
FIHAVE THE QUOTE RIGHT, "GOD, IF YOU THINK I'M SUPPOSED TO RUN,
YOU GOTTA TELL ME, AND IT HAS TO BE SO CLEAR THAT EVEN I CAN'T
MISS IT."
>> THAT'S RIGHT, THAT'S RIGHT.
>> Stephen: SO HAVE YOU HAD ANY SIGNS AT ALL?
>> NOT ONE.
>> Stephen: REALLY?
NOT EVEN THE PEOPLE, LIKE, TWEETING OR TEXTING OR PEOPLE
CHEERING, NONE OF THAT IS A SIGN?
>> THOSE ARE ALL PEOPLE OUTSIDE.
YOU KNOW WHAT THAT IS.
IF 1,000 PEOPLE TELL YOU TO DO SOMETHING BUT YOU DON'T FEEL IT
INSIDE YOURSELF.
OR IF 1,000 PEOPLE SAY, "THAT LOOKS GOOD OW, GIRL," AND YOU
KNOW IT DOESN'T.
OR 10 PEOPLE SAY IT.
YOU KNOW, IT DOESN'T.
SO, NO, I HAVEN'T.
>> Stephen: WELL, I GUESS-- I GUESS THAT SETHS IT?
>> OPRAH!
STEPHEN!
WHAT'S UP?
HEY!
>> Stephen: HEY, IT'S GOD, EVERYBODY!
GIVE IT UP FOR THE LORD.
>> HEY, EVERYBODY.
I JUST SPIT OUT MY GUM.
>> Stephen: I APOLOGIZE.
GOD STOPS BY EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE.
HE'S A FAN.
I CAN HELP YOU, LORD?
I'M KIND OF IN THE MIDDLE OF TALKING TO SOMEBODY IMPORTANT.
>> OH, I KNOW, STEPHEN.
I'M A HUGE FAN.
>> THAT'S GREAT TO HEAR.
I'M A BIG FAN OF YOURS, TOO.
I REALLY AM.
>> WOW.
OPRAH KNOWS WHO I AM?
I CAN'T WAIT TO TELL JESUS.
( LAUGHTER ) I'M GOING TO LOOK SO COOL.
>> Stephen: GOD, I DON'T MEAN TO HURRY YOU ALONG, BUT IS THERE
SOMETHING YOU'D LIKE TO TELL OPRAH?
>> OH, YEAH.
I HEAR THOU SEEKEST A SIGN?
WELL, IS THIS CLEAR ENOUGH?
( LAUGHTER ) CHECK IT OUT.
( APPLAUSE ) >> TAKE YOUR TIME.
I'VE BEEN HERE FOR ETERNITY.
>> ALL I CAN SAY, GOD, IS THAT RUN AGO "RUN" IS NOW A PART OF
MY EXERCISE ROUTINE.
I CAN TELL YOU THAT.
>> HMMM... HOW DO I MAKE THIS CLIERER, OPRAH.
OH, I KNOW!
OPRAH WINFREY 2020!
YES, SHE CAN!
( APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: WELL, THERE IT IS.
YOU ASKED FOR IT.
THERE IT IS, OPEN REMARK A BIG ENDORSEMENT.
OKAY.
LORD LET ME JUST SAY THIS TO YOU.
IT'S NOT SOMETHING I'VE EVER SEEN MYSELF DOING.
IT'S NOT THE KIND OF JOB THAT YOU CAN HAVE WITHOUT FULLY
DEVOTING YOURSELF TO IT 100%.
>> NOT REALLY.
HAVE YOU SEEN THIS WHITE HOUSE?
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: HE'S GOT A POINT.
HE'S GOT A POINT.
>> COME ON, OPRAH!
I HAD ALL THIS MERCH PRINTED UP!
I PUT IT ON MY WIFE'S CREDIT CARD.
SHE'S GOING TO KILL ME.
>> GOD, TAKE IT FROM ME, OPRAH.
( LAUGHTER ) IT'S GONAB OKAY.
EVERYTHING'S GONNA BE OKAY.
AND I'M SURE YOU'RE GOING TO FIND SOMEONE WHO YOU ARE JUST
INSPIRED BY IN 2020.
>> THANKS, OPRAH.
LOOK, BEFORE I LET YOU GO, ANY CHANCE YOU COULD GET THE
BIBLE INTO YOUR BOOK CLUB?
>> I'M WORK ON THAT!
I'LL WORK ON THAT!
>> Stephen: GOD, EVERYBODY.
THANK YOU, LORD!
"A WRINKLE IN TIME" IS IN THEATERS THIS FRIDAY!
OPRAH WINFREY, EVERYBODY!
