Oprah Winfrey was left stunned by the celebrity turn-out for her Farewell Spectacular, which was taped in Chicago on Tuesday - but there were two performances that brought her to tears.
Tom Hanks, Will Smith, Tom Cruise, Beyonce, Jamie Foxx and Madonna were among the stars who showed up to pay tribute to Winfrey, who will end her hit daily talk show after 25 years next week - but she admits Aretha Franklin's live rendition of Amazing Grace and Kristen Chenoweth's special surprise left her speechless.
The talk show queen says, "Aretha Franklin actually coming out and singing Amazing Grace, which I listen to every Sunday... put me in the rapture."
And she tells U.S. news show Extra she was floored when Chenoweth performed with students from Morehouse College: "Of all the moments, that would be my all-time favourite moment. When (friend and filmmaker) Tyler Perry said a few of them (students) were here, I thought it was going to be four... I did not know it was 415. I can't believe it!"
The Surprise Oprah: A Farewell Spectacular programme will be split into two and they'll air next week before she hosts her final Oprah show.
