Talk show icon Sally Jessy Raphael gives VERY rare update on her life as she marks milestone 90th birthday


Sally Jessy Raphael passed a major milestone as she celebrated her 90th birthday on Tuesday.

She was on air for three years before Oprah Winfrey, who had her own beloved talk show, hit the airwaves, covering human interest stories and current affairs. However, as the competition increased for ratings against competitors such and Maury Povich and Jerry Springer in the 1990s, the program began focusing on more unsavory topics, such as revealing the results of paternity tests on air. Raphael has remained active, hosting a radio show on Talknet from 2005-2008, a Logo series in 2014 and most recently making a cameo appearance on the animated Every Still Hates Christ in 2024 (Pictured in Brooklyn, NY in October 2013)
