Oprah Winfrey returns to TV in a new show, "Oprah's Lifeclass," and she revealed she's not drinking piña coladas and "sittin' around."
The busy OWN CEO was on the set of "Oprah's Lifeclass," saying she regrets that infamous moment on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" when she rolled out the fat wagon holding 67 pounds while wearing her skinny Calvin Klein jeans.
"I regret not only that I set myself up, but that I set a whole lot of other people up too," Winfrey explained. "When I look back at that show, I think... biggest ego trip of my life."
One of Oprah's producers told her, "I was shocked by what you said about the fat wagon." The queen of talk replied, "I didn't even know that I had an ego. I thought it was way checked at the door."
Check out Oprah's behind-the-scenes video, and stay tuned for "Oprah's Lifeclass," premiering October 10 on OWN.
