Nate Berkus hosts "Oprah's Big Give" debuting tonight...
I'm just gonna say it: I am so over Oprah Winfrey. I used to absolutely love her - for decades I loved her - but between Oprah's Book Club, Oprah Winfrey Presents, Oprah's Favorite Things, the upcoming Oprah TV network and tonight's new show: "Oprah's Big Give," I'm starting to agree with a joke Kathy Griffin made a few years ago: Oprah thinks she's Jesus."
However, I am not sick of Oprah's annointed designer, Nate Berkus, a gay man who is the host of "Give" and who heart-breakingly shared the trama of losing the love of his life in the tsunami. According to ABC, the show premieres tonight and defies television convention with the bold idea of people competing to give rather than get. Cast members include host Berkus and expert judges including world-renowned chef and philanthropist Jamie Oliver, NFL star and Boys & Girls Club Hall of Famer Tony Gonzalez, and wife of Chris Rock and charity founder Malaak Compton-Rock.
Greg Hernandez has covered the entertainment industry for the Daily
News since 2001. He's considered a bit odd by some for his obsession
with box office numbers, has been known to camp out near the kitchen
at premieres for first crack at the hors d'oeurves, and Greg's never
seen a red carpet he didn't want to stroll down.
