“ | There you [two] are. Something very odd has happened. | ” |
— Oprah
|
Oprah is the leader of every Odd Squad precinct in the world. She was formerly an agent of Precinct 13579, before being promoted to Director and gaining the title of Ms. O in 1983. In the Season 2 finale, she was promoted to the Big Office and gained the title and rank of The Big O.
Background
Oprah is the boss of all Odd Squad precincts throughout the world. Although her true age is never told, she seems to never age. She has served Odd Squad for a hundred years as of Odd Squad: World Turned Odd. Until she passed a test in 1983, Oprah was once an agent. She then became the Big O at the end of Season 2 after working together with Olympia, Otis and Oona to stop Ohlm. She is constantly seen drinking juice from a juice box.
Trivia
- Oprah, along with other characters such as O'Donahue, Orla, Orville, Yucks Shmumbers, and Chuck Shmumbers appear to be kids but are much older. She appears in several eras, such as the 1980s, 1870s, and the Middle Ages. While her date of birth is on November 30th, the exact year is never stated, and she refuses to tell anyone how old she is. This has sparked several fan theories.
- Before Oprah joined Odd Squad, she ran a fruit stand with her friend Yucks Shmumbers in 1870, delivered newspapers in Norway, and was the Queen of Portugal.
- She loves juice boxes.
- She likes the color purple.
- She is the current winner of the Jackie, and has won only one opposing the squad in the next town.
- In the first episode, she is seen drinking apple juice; however, in every other episode, she is seen drinking other flavors.
- Oprah and the Math Room go way back; it is entirely possible that she is the creator of the Math Room. The Math Room asked her to call her "Carol".
- However it is not confirmed that Oprah did in fact create her, but a scene in Fistful of Fruit Juice seems to imply this.
- Oprah and Shmumberman both love juice.
- She also got to star in a Shmumberman comic book with Shmumberman as her sidekick.

- She is also the second main character on the series with a different skin tone.
- She likes her chocolate warm and melty.
- Her favorite type of bean is pinto beans.
- People call her "the boss" and she likes that.
- According to the Odd Squad Facebook page, she has a car but rarely drives it because it's always in the shop.
- On January 11, 2018, Oprah took over the Facebook page in a live video.[1] Here are some of the things she told us:
- Her favorite case is Reindeer Games.
- Her favorite creature is the Hydraclops.
- Grape is her favorite juice flavor, although in Odd Squad: World Turned Odd, it is said she likes all flavors.
- She would probably work in Security if she weren't in Management, because she wants to keep Odd Squad safe.
- Her favorite odd number is 5.
- She has a pet bird in the birdcage in her office, and says he's really nice but doesn't talk a lot.
- Apparently, the Jackalope became the Odd Squad mascot after several agents were surveyed and said it was their favorite animal.
