Story highlights Celebrities running for office is not a new concept

But since Trump's win, several big names have floated runs

(CNN) Oprah Winfrey's speech at the Golden Globes on Sunday night prompted wishful calls for the star to run for president -- and two of the TV icon's close friends told CNN that Winfrey is "actively thinking" about seeking the Oval Office in 2020.

Why not? President Donald Trump proved that a celebrity with no political experience could run for the highest office in the land and win.

Seth Meyers: "In 2011, I told some jokes about our current president at the WHCD... I just want to say: Oprah, you will never be president. You do not have what it takes. And Hanks. Where's Hanks? You will never be vice president." #GoldenGlobes pic.twitter.com/vQzxrHZfrt — Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) January 8, 2018
