Despite the fact that it was a modest hit, and won its time slot on Sunday nights, the reality show Oprah’s Big Give will not return to ABC next year.

ABC entertainment pres Steve McPherson said the network would “absolutely have loved to bring [the show] back,” but Oprah didn’t want to do it anymore, according to the New York Post.

The show raised millions of dollars for charity and included guest appearances by friends of Oprah, including Jennifer Aniston, Drew Barrymore, and John Travolta.
