She's ba-a-a-ack.
Oprah Winfrey has set the date for the debut of “Oprah’s Next Chapter,” her new show on her eponymous channel — OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network. Aerosmith frontman and "American Idol" judge Steven Tyler will be the first guest for the two-hour season premiere, set to air on New Year’s Day.
Winfrey will visit Tyler at his home in New Hampshire.
After airing her long-running daily talk show from her studio in Chicago, she plans to hit the open road for many of her upcoming interviews.
For the series, she also has planned a trip to Haiti with Sean Penn, a visit with George Lucas at his Skywalker Ranch and a slumber party at the home of Southern chef Paula Deen.
"After 25 years I got myself out of the studio chairs. I moved into the next chapter, and I am having more fun than ever — moving around the country and the world talking to people I'm really interested in getting to know and I think viewers will be, too,” Winfrey said in a statement. “It is so energizing to be out and about in the world exploring new people, new places and new ideas.”
