My wife the soap opera fan is thrilled that Warren Buffett is slated to appear on ABC's "All My Children" soap opera. I am appalled.

For one thing, she's informed me that if soaps are good enough for the world's richest man that I have no excuse for fleeing the family room in horror whenever she's watching her shows. I guess my sarcastic remarks about the genre are out of the question too.

Buffett, though, is rich enough to do what he wants when he wants. And according to Reuters, the Oracle of Omaha is crazy about soaps. He's good friends with series creator Agnes Nixon and even appeared on the program in 1992.

warren buffett and susan lucciDuring May sweeps season on daytime television, Walt Disney (NYSE: DIS)'s ABC network may very well have gotten the most timely financial subplot of them all. Oh yes, and don't forget "weird." Erica Kane, Susan Lucci's storied character on All My Children, will be aided by a knight in shining Berkshire Hathaway stock -- billionaire guru Warren Buffett. She's in prison for insider trading; who better to call than the world's richest man? I can't think of anyone, except maybe a lawyer (n.b.: NOT the one who represented Martha Stewart).

According to the New York Post, Buffett excuses himself during his meeting with Erica Kane to take a call from Bill Gates (his longtime friend and constant rival for world's-richest-man title).


This is the third time Buffett has appeared on All My Children, having previously appeared on the show in 1991 and 1993 (the show's spokespeople evidently got the record confused and have been pointing to one episode in 1992). In October 1991, Warren and then-ABC chairman Thomas S. Murphy appeared as themselves to give Kane advice on her cosmetics business. They reprised that role in August 1993. While it may seem a little strange for a billionaire financial genius to watch the soaps, Buffett is evidently a fan of the show and is friendly with All My Children creator, Agnes Nixon. According to show spokesman Mike Cohen, Buffett has been waiting to come back to the show. For 15 years.
