This situation is serious, Gayle emphasized. Oprah needs to get well. "I hope she's not mad at me for telling you that." The long-time friends have been sharing a close bond over the years. With Oprah unavailable, the presentation of the book "Familiaris" by David Wroblewski, 65, moved forward in her absence. Earlier, she had shared her thoughts on the book on Instagram.
