The first celebrity Piers Morgan interviewed on his talk show was the one and only Oprah Winfrey! Back in the day, he said his first guest had to be perfect, and we all have to agree Oprah was most definitely the right choice!
Oprah appeared on Piers Morgan Tonight on January 17, 2011. "Everyone has interviewed Oprah over the years. Is my interview as good as the ones that have been done before? She thought so. I guarantee you’ll enjoy this one," Piers added.
Oprah Winfrey, considered to be one of the most powerful female celebrities, revealed she had been told Piers Morgan was a great interviewer, "I can't wait to see how good he is," she said before appearing on the show's debut.
During the interview, she talked about how iconic civil rights campaigner Martin Luther King, would have been proud to see Barack Obama as the President of the United States.
