Oprah was a good sport, and talked with Letterman about his departure from the show. When the subject changed to Lindsay’s docu-series being produced on Oprah’s OWN network, the Queen of TV talk praised Lohan’s openness about her rehab and said she was “doing okay,” bringing a tear to Lindsay’s eyes. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/57422/lindsay-lohan-gives-oprah-a-call-on-the-late-show/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/57422/lindsay-lohan-gives-oprah-a-call-on-the-late-show/"},"headline":"Lindsay Lohan Gives Oprah a Call on The Late Show","datePublished":"2014-04-10T16:05:58.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T07:14:37.964Z","description":"The troubled starlet called O — just for fun","url":"https://time.com/57422/lindsay-lohan-gives-oprah-a-call-on-the-late-show/","keywords":["Television","Oprah","David Letterman","the late show"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7394a384e1f0e71b/69868a25e8524bd70e60252a/lindsay-lohan-late-show-oprah-david-letterman.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"TIME Video","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/time-video/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7394a384e1f0e71b/69868a25e8524bd70e60252a/lindsay-lohan-late-show-oprah-david-letterman.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"From right: David Letterman and Lindsay Lohan call Oprah Winfrey when Lohan visits the Late Show with David Letterman on April 9, 2014 in New York City.","caption":"From right: David Letterman and Lindsay Lohan call Oprah Winfrey when Lohan visits the Late Show with David Letterman on April 9, 2014 in New York City.","creditText":"Jeffrey R.
