Oprah ain’t going anywhere. Are we really surprised? After O’s iconic daytime staple “The Oprah Show” goes into retirement in 2011, she’s moving her stint to night time. She announced today that she is launching a brand new show for Thursday evenings on her new channel OWN. It’s called “Oprah’s Next Chapter” and will be an hour long format. And of course, she’s coming out the gate swinging with her guest list. Jay-Z and Lady GaGa are her guinea pigs:

The network is using Ms. Winfrey’s ability to attract high-profile talent. One OWN series, “Visionaries: Inside the Creative Mind,” will highlight pop musician Lady Gaga and movie director James Cameron, among others. Another show, “Master Class,” will feature people like former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and musician Jay-Z relaying life stories and lessons directly into the camera.

Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, said Ms. Winfrey asked him to participate during a phone call. “I didn’t even think about it,” Mr. Carter said last month. “I just said ‘yes.’”
