Wow. Bless his heart. It does sound like him. That's amazing.

I had no idea he and Oprah dated at one time.

amazing. he's really hung in there, and his mind is as sharp as ever.

here's an older one with his Macbook Pro (or Powerbook G4)

I applaud him. But I still had no idea he dated Oprah.


Re: Roger Ebert's new voice was demoed today... - decay - 03-03-2010

where does it say he dated Oprah... did I miss something?

or is it a joke because his wife is a heavyset black woman?


Re: Roger Ebert's new voice was demoed today... - Mini 9 - 03-03-2010

As far as I know it was not referenced in any of those links.
I was surprised to hear that he dated Oprah, from what was another source.

It is listed in the wiki

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Ebert

He has been friends with, and at one time dated, Oprah Winfrey,

I gather my info/news from many/hours of sources a day. Sorry I can't go back and recall. Likely a podcast.

Fail.

He talks like he is giving a movie review (esp. his own DVDs with movie reviews on them.. which is where the voice software company pulled his voice from).
