Jada Pinkett Smith has credited Oprah Winfrey with making her show ‘Red Table Talk’ possible.

The 48-year-old actress launched her Facebook Watch series – where she stars alongside her mother Adrienne Banfield-Jones and daughter Willow Smith, as well as a host of special guests – in 2018, and has said it’s thanks to her mentor Oprah that she was able to get the show up and running.

Posting a professional picture of herself and Oprah during a red carpet event on Instagram, Jada wrote: “This woman beside me is the only reason @RedTableTalk could even be imagined. Thank you @Oprah and congrats

Jada’s post comes after Oprah, 65, was honoured at the grand opening of Tyler Perry’s historic film studio, Tyler Perry Studios, in Atlanta, Georgia over the weekend.

View this post on Instagram @tylerperry you built the biggest studio in America, one that can fit all the other Hollywood studios combined and still have room to spare. You’ve also created a dream of hope and possibility for everyone to know that no matter who you are or where you come from, you can always do better when you’re aligned with the Divine. Thank you for the naming of the soundstages. I love mine. #GloryToGlory #ImagineThisA post shared by Oprah (@oprah) on Oct 7, 2019 at 11:56am PDT

The 50-year-old actor named a soundstage in Oprah’s honour, where a three-course seated dinner was hosted.

Speaking about Tyler’s studio – which also honoured other African American stars such as John Singleton, Spike Lee, Denzel Washington, Will Smith, Halle Berry, Sidney Poitier, Whoopi Goldberg, Cicely Tyson, and Harry Belafonte – Oprah said: “Tyler is my little big brother. To see him rise to this moment that I know he’s dreamed about, planned, defined, clarify for himself, it’s just a fulfilment of a dream. It’s wonderful to see.”
