“You will be inspired,” Oprah demanded of me on Friday afternoon when her regular daily talk show became an hour-long, star-studded commercial (chef Jamie Oliver! football star Tony Gonzalez! Chris Rock’s wife! The promise of a future appearance by John Travoltahhhhhh!) for her new reality series “Oprah’s Big Give,” a title that’s already earned her the nickname “O.B.G.” around my house. And because I pretty much do whatever Oprah tells me to do — thanks for nothing on that goji berry advice, by the way — I set my TiVo for Sunday, ABC, 9 p.m. She also demanded that I make Jamie Oliver’s complicated veggie puree-infused homemade pizza before watching it but that seemed too complicated.
