After two days of the arena-rock version of 'The Oprah Winfrey Show' (weekdays, syndicated) and a parade of guest stars, Winfrey took the stage alone back at her studio today to say thank you to the fans and wrap things up. She said there were "no words to match this moment," contemplating 25 years and 4,561 days of 'The Oprah Winfrey Show.' And she refused to say goodbye.

"I thank you for being as much of a sweet inspiration for me as I've tried to be for you," she said. "I won't say goodbye. I'll just say, until we meet again."

Few would expect Winfrey to retire from television, especially now that she has OWN, her Oprah Winfrey Network. But there are no immediate plans for a new show. That might change by the time her reruns finish airing in syndication.
