We all know the Mighty O has the Midas touch, but can she help rehabilitate Sarah Ferguson’s reputation after a bribery scandal? We’ll find out soon. According to the Daily Mail, Oprah has offered the beleaguered Duchess her own primetime chat show on OWN.

‘Oprah has known Sarah for some time and the Duchess went on Oprah’s show to explain herself after her most recent scandal. Oprah has always been impressed by Sarah’s ability to pick herself up and reinvent herself.
‘She feels Sarah will be someone viewers of her new channel will be able to relate to on many levels – she’s a divorcee, a working mother, someone who has made some very public mistakes and a woman who, like Oprah, constantly battles with her weight.’

Oprah Won't Take Talk Show To OWN

Damn, damn, DAMN, as Florida Evans would say! Talk show maverick Oprah Winfrey will not move her gabfest hit to her new network once the show ends in Sept. 2011. In a interview with  USA Today, Oprah Winfrey Network CEO Christina Norman said, 

Her show as you know it is not coming to OWN. 
Norman goes on to say Winfrey is, 
going to have a significant presence on this network, but it won’t be through a daily sit down talk show like the one she currently has on ABC. Pieces of that show we’re going to want to find ways to retain, but I don’t think the format exists in anyone’s mind right now.
