\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, in the past, ladies and gentlemen, I have oftentimes explained things that are mysterious to other people. And for the longest time people wanted my opinion on why I thought Oprah was so successful. I mean, there have been many talk shows before Oprah. Phil Donahue and Sally Jessy Raphael. There was Mike Douglas out there. What people wanted to know was what is it about Oprah? So June 30th, 2000, one of the most recent examples, 14 years ago of my explaining why Oprah\u2019s popular.<\/p>\n

RUSH ARCHIVE: The question\u2019s been raised on this program a number of times since I\u2019ve been hosting it: “Rush, why is Oprah so popular? What is it about that show?” If you\u2019ve ever watched it, she cries all the time. I mean, the biggest audience is women. The fastest way to a woman\u2019s heart is cry, it\u2019s emotional. It\u2019s a magnet.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: And there you have it. That\u2019s it. I mean, there\u2019s other reasons, too, but in my estimation when people asked me that was the primary reason. Okay, let\u2019s fast forward to Sunday night on Oprah Winfrey network\u2019s Oprah Prime. The host Oprah Winfrey, The Oprah, was interviewing the singer Pharrell — is that how you pronounce his name, Pharrell, the guy that wears the strange hat, the Canadian Royal, Canadian Mount. (interruption) It\u2019s Pharrell, not Pharrell? It\u2019s Pharrell? It\u2019s Pharrell. Okay. It\u2019s Pharrell. <\/p>\n

During the interview Oprah plays a video of people dancing to Pharrell\u2019s song Happy. Pharrell has a song called Happy. I do remember. I guess it was at the Epidemic Awards where Kerry Washington came out and introduced Pharrell. He was so cool, is what she said. So incredibly cool. So here\u2019s Pharrell. He\u2019s on Oprah\u2019s show on Sunday night [talking about] his song Happy and people are dancing to it. And he started crying. He literally started crying. I\u2019m telling you, it\u2019s why it works.<\/p>\n
