At least if you have millions of fans, your own talk show and lots of resources to draw on. 

Ellen Degeneres, affable comedienne and talk show host, has gotten her wish and will be appearing with the Mighty Opes on the cover of the December issue of O magazine.

Ellen pushed for the cover. Hard.  She documented attempts on her show, made mock-ups (test covers) and even called Oprah herself, but was put on hold for over 11 minutes and was never connected to the billionaire. Do you think the person who answered Ellen’s call is still getting their paycheck from Harpo Studios?  Me neither. 

In a statement on her website, Oprah wrote, “It’s all about me, now get off my runway Ellen DeGeneres is a woman who can make things happen. When she decided she wanted to be on the cover of O, she pulled out all the stops (just look at her creative concepts here). It worked — for only the second time in O history, this December, I’m sharing the cover with a woman I adore.”

That first woman was First Lady Michelle Obama.  In addition to being on the cover of O, Ellen will also be interviewed on the Oprah Winfrey Show on Monday Nov 9th.
