Everyone gets the ultimate Oprah Winfrey Flashbaaaaaack!

Every TV legend has to get their big break somewhere. For Oprah Winfrey, that somewhere was on a Chicago breakfast television show.

Back in 1983, Oprah Winfrey hadn’t yet become one of the most powerful women on the planet, so she had to send in an audition video like everyone else.

And Oprah’s staff just located it. Straight from 1983 we bring you… Oprah Winfrey’s audition.

WATCH:

Oprah was 30 at the time she filmed this at her friend’s house and now that she’s 60 years old, Oprah still reaches millions of viewers every day.

“Hi there,” she says in the video. “My name is Oprah Winfrey. Oprah spelled O-P-R-A-H.” 

And that’s the last time she had to spell her name to anyone.
