Oprah screaming “YES” as she fire-walks stiff-legged across a bed of smoldering embers at a Tony Robbins’ Unleash the Power Within event.

Christmases:
A monochromatic Oprah in brown, covering her Rachel haircut with her hands, screaming in shock.
Hanukkahs:
Oprah in a 1983 audition tape, wearing a powder pink moo-moo, and explaining her name is “HARPO” spelled backwards. It makes so much sense now.
