Ebert on Oprah

Just watched Roger and Chaz Ebert on Oprah this afternoon. Nice profile of the film critic... The show gave a real taste of what everyday life is like for the ailing Ebert.

And Roger got to unveil his new computer voice based on his own now-lost voice... he used the new voice to list his Oscar predictions.

More reaction here to the Esquire profile of Ebert and all the hoopla since.

That's Roger on the right in the photo above of the Siskel and Ebert team on their long-running TV review series. Gene died from a brain tumor in February 1999.

These two guys didn't get along very well off air, but were smart enough to realize that the tension between them was a key element that made for good TV.

This compilation of outtakes is for adults only.
