Does Oprah Winfrey have buyer's remorse trading in her iconic talk show for an entire network bearing her name? Not quite.

The media legend, speaking with protégé Dr. Mehmet Oz Wednesday, admitted that while she misses aspects of her former career, she's still focused on making her OWN network take off after a year of sagging ratings.

Oprah Winfrey is willing to come out of ‘retirement’ for the right scoop -- like an O.J. confession.

Winfrey made her intentions known during an interview with Discovery's Paula Zahn at the NCTA Cable Show at Chicago's McCormick Convention Center on Thursday.

The media legend, who just wrapped up a 25-year network talk show run, said she wants to tackle the former Buffalo Bill where others have failed: In getting him to come clean about the June 1994 killings of his ex-wife Nicole Simpson and her hunky waiter pal Ron Goldman.

Oprah Winfrey's Farewell Scores Her Highest Ratings In 17 Years!

By Radar Staff

Oprah Winfrey went out on top.

Her very last show on Wednesday scored a 13.3 household rating, the most she's had in 17 years.

It's impossible to translate that figure into an exact number of viewers, since only half the nation's markets are metered, and St. Louis didn't see the show at all on Wednesday, since the Oprah affiliate there was forced to preempt her for storm coverage.  (The station instead aired her finale show on Thursday).
