The video sees the two walking arm-in-arm before coming across a cheering crowd, including TODAY’s Hoda Kotb and Al Roker, continued to scream, then broke into “Happy birthday.”
Gayle looked visibly shocked, dropping her purse and freezing with her hands over her heart.
If you didn’t know, the two pals first met in 1976 when they worked together at local Baltimore news station WJZ-TV. One night during a major snowstorm, Oprah offered Gayle a place to stay for the night, and they’ve remained close ever since.
