Opal
Opal (voiced by Tress MacNeille) is a talk show host. She is a parody of Oprah Winfrey, as is her show. She first appears in Season 18's "Ice Cream of Margie (with the Light Blue Hair)" where she convinces Marge that she has no meaning in life. She later appeared in the back-to-back nineteenth season episodes "Husbands and Knives" and "Funeral for a Fiend". Marge is a fan of hers, and was interviewed by Opal after achieving success through her chain of Shapes gyms for women. On her show, Opal frequently mentions a boyfriend named "Straightman". Asking about him causes her to do a massive prize giveaway as a diversionary tactic, one example being German kukoo clocks. The real Oprah Winfrey has also appeared on the Simpsons, where her animated form is shown on her talk show approaching the Simpson residence. A slovenly Homer answers shocked, and says he thought the interview was tomorrow.
