Sherri Shepherd scored a major get for her daytime talk show on Wednesday.

After days of teasing the appearance, the legendary Oprah Winfrey visited ‘Sherri‘ for her first visit to the show.

During her visit, Oprah discussed the upcoming re-imagining of “The Color Purple,” her influence on a generation including Sherri, and more.

Get into the full episode below.

Oprah’s visit to Sherri comes on the heels of her portrait unveiling ceremony at the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery in Washington, DC on Wednesday.

The nearly 7-foot-tall painting is currently on display and will remain on view until October of next year.

Created by Chicago-based artist Shawn Michael Warren, the oil-on-canvas painting depicts Winfrey smiling and standing in her private prayer garden at her home in Montecito, Calif., donning a purple taffeta Christian Siriano dress, which was more than appropriate due to the upcoming release of The Color Purple on Christmas day, a film that she produced alongside Stephen Spielberg, Scott Sanders, and Quincy Jones.

Since 1994–beginning with former president George H.W. Bush–the gallery has commissioned just 35 other portraits of living subjects for its permanent collection, putting Winfrey in a rarefied class. She joins public figures such as Barack and Michelle Obama, Venus and Serena Williams, and Ava DuVernay, the latter of which was present at Wednesday’s ceremony.
