President Barack
Obama and his wife Michelle will appear together on “The Oprah Winfrey
Show” in May, as the TV chat show queen nears the end of her 25-year
reign. The White House and publicists for the daily TV show said on
Tuesday that the Obamas would tape their appearance in Chicago on April
27, and the show would air on May 2. Publicists said it would be the

TV show, which airs in some 140 countries, in order to focus on her new
cable TV channel OWN, which launched in January. The last original
episode of “The Oprah Winfrey Show” will air on May 25.
