On the latest episode of The Oprah Conversation, the presenter and the former president appear to be sitting in front of the same crackling fireplace, discussing Obama’s new memoir, A Promised Land.
In a five-star review of A Promised Land for The Independent, Sean O’Grady wrote that the book is an “elegant, thoughtful memoir from the coolest president America ever had”.
In a teaser video, Obama can be seen grinning at the genius of it all, saying: “This is pretty cool technology you’ve got here.”
In reality, they are not in the same room at all, with Obama speaking from a studio in Washington DC and Winfrey from her home in Santa Barbara.
