A San Luis Obispo Chamber staff member was chosen out of more than 100,000 to attend “The Oprah Winfrey Show” farewell season premiere as part of an “Ultimate Viewer” special. The show airs locally at 4 p.m. today.

Lindsey Haring, the Chamber’s executive assistant / sales associate, joined her mother Tracy Ann Morris, from Exeter, Calif. to be part of the season premiere’s special audience. They attended the episode’s filming in Chicago on Thursday.

While Haring declined to release details of the show until it airs today, it is known that actor John Travolta and singer/songwriter Paul Simon were part of the show’s big surprise. Watch today at 4 p.m. for even bigger surprises.

The Oprah Winfrey Show begins its 25th and final season today. Winfrey plans to launch her Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) on Jan. 1, 2011.
