I think it's cute that people still think Frey was ever "on the pipe" in the first place.

Never fear. Oprah will use any opportunity to grab the ratings. This non-event was almost as sleep-inducing as her Hermes show. The headlines are screaming, OPRAH APOLOGIZES!!! to the point where you can almost hear the symphony crashing in the background. Can you tell I don't watch Oprah anymore?

In regard to Frey going back to the pipe... It'll happen. It may not REALLY happen, but he'll definitely "remember" it happening so he can write another book about it. Piece of shit.

It's kind of hard to believe her response was genuine after that crap phone call to King. I don't buy a second of it. If I knew the book was fake 20 pages into reading it, how's it possible no one at Harpo got the vibe? She took a chance (the King phone call) hoping to salvage her name and the BC's reputation but after the NY Times writes opinion pieces against it and the public bitches, it's kind of amazing how quickly the tide turns.

I was disappointed. I heard Chris Rock and LeBron James were supposed to be on, and they happened to be people I like.

I'm looking forward to the book on how he duped Oprah and the rest of the world, including the untold story of how he mowed Larry King down in a crack-enduced rage after the shit hit the fan and magically rebuilt him with a home surgery kit before his next show so nary a scar appeared... save for the psychological ones. What a page turner!

just got done watching this - i'm guessing frey went back to the pipe the second after he got off of larry king live by the way he was sweatin' balls, wiping at his nose & struggling to get anything out of his mouth that formed a word - true or BS. he knew the jig was up and by oprah's carefully worded statement on LKL you knew the oprah firestorm was a'comin' as soon as gayle got the REAL scoop from smokinggun.com. i only wish she would have contained her anger less and freaked out a little bit more.

Oh he's going back to the pipe!!! No qwershton. By the way, I'm sure now, that my life story will be far more interesting. I actually went to jail longer than he did! And all I did was slap a cop!

Didn't Oprah used to be on at 4? WTF!? I was able to catch the end of the show, however, where some professer dude compared Frey's lying to those people who deny the Holocaust. Harsh.

Maybe Oprah can dig up Lillian Helman from her grave and yell at HER next. Your life's a book - do it proud! Dramatic license allowed!!

The whole show feels exactly like a session of my high school honor court.

I effing love how this went down and yet, I'm so jaded I believe he will still sell MORE books and Aniston will STILL produce his movie. However, this guy is still responsible for the David Schwimmer-Jason Lee romantic comedy "Kissing a Fool". For that, and that reason only, he should be frey'd. TEE-HEE. barf.

This is an incredible case of why the word schadenfreude is such a delightful addition to our language. I don't know what's more funny: seeing Frey jump like a frozen fillet in a hot skillet as Oprah does her best to seem like this was her opinion all along or noting the way Oprah is trying to clean this whole situation up without looking like a backpeddler.
