Oprah
Oprah refers to Oprah Winfrey, the American media mogul and talk show host whose cultural influence made her first name instantly recognizable.
Her daytime program ran from 1986 to 2011, making her one of the most influential figures in American broadcasting.
The name now suggests a particular style of emotional, confessional television: It felt like an Oprah moment when he broke down crying on air.
An Oprah endorsement, particularly for her book club, could transform obscure works into bestsellers.
