In 2005, Oprah Winfrey invited Cicely Tyson to her house for lunch, but forgot to invite Ruby Dee. Then she forgot to invite Della Reese, Maya Angelou and Phylicia Rashad, so she decided, instead, to do something only Oprah would: invited, like, a million famous Black ladies (and Gayle, duh) to her California estate for a three-day weekend that included a luncheon, a black-tie gala and a "gospel brunch." All of it -- from the excessive preparation to the actual ceremonies -- was captured on camera for a one-time, two-hour special that is some of the most insane television you will ever see, featuring bad poetry, an Oprah trolley, and Ashanti trying to speak eloquently. Join comedian and blogger Eliot Glazer as he presents the footage live with commentary, special guests, surprises and giveaways... just like Oprah would.
