Oprah made Tim Cook cry
She brought the crowd to their feet and a tear to Tim Cook's eye.

The veteran entertainer will launch a show focusing on optimism, community-building, and inclusivity. After an enthusiastic preview of her show, Oprah got a hug from a visibly emotional Tim Cook. And can you blame him? Who wouldn't be emotional listening to the Queen say nice things about you?
