'Housewives' skit makes Oprah long for acting

Oprah Winfrey's been bitten by the acting bug again — and you can thank the desperate housewives.

Marc Cherry, creator of the hit ABC show, wrote a "Desperate Housewives" skit for Winfrey's daytime talk show. She got to play several of the roles.

Her last acting stint was in the 1998 movie "Beloved," which wasn't a hit in theaters. In retrospect, Winfrey said that should have been on TV.

"I thought I was done with my acting days, but I loved being a part of the 'Desperate Housewives' so much that I'm thinking I might do something else soon," Winfrey told reporters Sunday.
