Oprah's Priceless Reaction to a Phone Going Off in Her Studio Audience

CC | tv-pg
Oprah and journalist Lisa Ling explored the dangerous world of life behind bars in a 2005 episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show. Lisa stuck around after the show to continue the conversation with Oprah and the audience when a cell phone ringtone interrupted their conversation. Oprah singled out the culprit: an audience member by the name of Anna, who was frantically trying to shut off her phone.

Oprah invited Anna—now thoroughly embarrassed—down to the stage, asked her to return the call and took the phone from there. Needless to say, Anna's friend Elaine was more than a little shocked when she answered expecting to hear Anna's voice and ended up chatting with Oprah Winfrey instead.

Watch to find out what Oprah had to say to Elaine.
