Morgan says he's delighted to be kicking off the show with such a high-profile guest and believes his interview will be just as good as any other she has previously given.
Piers -- who recorded his interview with Oprah in California earlier this week -- said: “She’s a compelling interview. 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.”
The former Britain’s Got Talent judge -- who was reportedly handed an $8.4 million deal to front the program -- insisted he only ever had Oprah in mind to be his first guest on the show, which begins on January 17.
He added in a video interview on the show’s official website: “So I was determined to start my new show with the ultimate bang and for that I needed the biggest star in the world but also somebody who was one of the most powerful people in the world.
“And that narrowed the list down as far I as I was concerned, to one person”
However, 56-year-old Oprah -- who is sitting next to Piers in the clip -- jokingly interrupted his praise to say: “And that person wasn't available... so he got me.”
