“Oprah” Trying To Book Show With Every U.S. Medalist

 
“The Oprah Winfrey Show” is trying to book all of the U.S. medalists from the 2008 Olympic Games for a special in September, Olympic agents say.

Three Olympic agents who represent 2008 medal-winning athletes, said that the show contacted them and asked if their athletes would be interested in appearing on a show with all of the 2008 Olympic medalists. To date, the U.S. has won 102 medals in Beijing.


Agents said it’s highly unlikely Oprah would be able to get every medalist to appear, but added that the show does appear intent on hosting an Olympic special this September.

When asked if the show will do an Olympics special, a spokesperson said, “It’s not confirmed.”
