Oprah Winfrey is one of the most bankable personalities on the face of the earth… If only the bank actually knew.
While playing a game for Ellen DeGeneres’ YouTube segment “Ellen’s Burning Questions,” Oprah revealed that she only recently stepped foot inside a bank, something she hadn’t done in 29 years!

“I went to the bank recently because I hadn’t been to the bank since 1988,” she said after Ellen asked Oprah what her ATM pin number was (Oprah didn’t know and said she didn’t have one.)

“What did you go to the bank for?” Ellen asked. Oprah deadpanned, “To deposit a million dollars.”
No joke, she had a seven-figure check she wanted to deposit.

“Yeah, I just wanted to go there just to do it. I stood in line, just to do it,” the TV legend said.
Ellen, who also couldn’t exactly remember the last time she went to the bank, asked how that moment felt.

“It felt fantastic,” Oprah said before clarifying the amount of her deposit, stating, “Actually, it was $2 million.”

NBC’s Saturday Night Live is known for its hard hitting political comedy, in which they take real life controversies and turn them into humorous and revealing bits — and yet, despite typically not shying away from scandal, the show chose to totally ignore Harvey Weinstein’s recently unearthed sexual harassment allegations.

SNL’s justification for this, according to the show’s creator Lorne Michaels, is because Weinstein and the show both originated from New York City, per the Daily Mail. However, when the comedy show did try a comedic bit on Weinstein’s scandal, the Daily Mailreported it received a positive reaction from the in-studio crowd — they just chose not to use the material on air.
This in-studio reaction wasn’t enough for the show’s creator apparently, as Michaels told reporters outside the show’s building that the scandal was ignored because “it’s a New York thing.” Due to the strategic decision to look the other way on Weinstein’s numerous reported sexual misconducts, the show took flack from viewers as many saw it as an example of the entertainment industry covering for one of their own.
Additionally, despite using the “New York thing” excuse to ignore Weinstein’s sins, SNL has repeatedly chosen to attack fellow New Yorker President Donald Trump — particularly when he too was under fire for sexual harassment allegations a year ago. SNL went so far as to compare Trump’s so-called “locker room talk” comments to Penn State’s child molestation cases.
This blatant segment snubbing is of course good news for Weinstein, as much of the rest of the media world is not showing him the same mercy — on and off the air.
