Well this is interesting – in general and also the timing of its release.
Oprah wasn’t at the State Dinner but she will be hosting a hour-long primetime Christmas special (Dec 13) with the first couple: Christmas at the White House: An Oprah Primetime Special. Set to air December 13, 9 pm CST on ABC.
Would like to know when Oprah was invited and how long this has been in the works because it’s a mystery why she wasn’t at barry’s State Dinner. (List of guests)
Still haven’t discovered an explanation. Oprah the media mogul could have used the opportunity to hype the special.

The pearl necklace is a centerpiece of the conversation with barry whining he gives better gifts than he gets.
