Meryl Streep: Oprah Just Launched Her Presidential Campaign Last Night

‘So she has not discussed perhaps a running mate type of situation with you’

RUSH EXCERPT:

KIMMEL: "Yeah. It was a different — well, certainly not your usual show."
STREEP: "No. And Oprah launched her presidential campaign, I think."
KIMMEL: "You think there’s any chance she really will run for president?"
STREEP: "I don’t know. I think, you know, we’ve had some television people run."
KIMMEL: "Right." 
STREEP: "Have you ever thought about it?"
KIMMEL: "Uh, not seriously, no. I think that would be a terrible thing for the country if I whether president. I would ruin things almost immediately. But you do look at what’s going on, and you go, maybe I wouldn’t be so bad. So she has not discussed perhaps a running mate type of situation with you, your endorsement, anything like that?"
STREEP: "Nobody. Somebody from the stage, they said Tom Hanks, and he seemed ready to go, so — "
KIMMEL: "Yeah, that would be a formidable — "
STREEP: "That would be a pretty good ticket."
