Oprah Winfrey, she has a talent for getting people talking, we do know that, both on her show and about her show. And this weekend she’s got everyone wondering what exactly this big secret is that she’s gonna be revealing tomorrow. Mike Marusarz has been following the story. Can you give us any detail, any insight?


I wish I could. We just don’t know, just yet. But only hours to go until we find it out and in fact at this point all we really know is that the secret somehow involves her family.


“...to Ultimate Wildest Dreams Come True…”


"Why do you think you are here? Your family is here.”


The queen of daytime TV is promising 1 the reunion of all reunions.


“This, my friends, is the miracle of all miracles.”


But Oprah says this miracle is a personal secret she’s kept for months.


"I was given some news that literally 2 shook me to my core.”


"This time I’m the one being reunited, I’ve been keeping a family secret for months, and you’re gonna hear it straight from me. ”


It’s a rare look inside Oprah’s private life.


“Even though she is so public, her personal life she keeps very close to the chest, so this is a really big deal for her to come up with a family secret.”


Oprah’s production company Harpo Studios offered no further details about the secret, but earlier in the week, Oprah told CNN’s Piers 3 Morgan that she considered suicide as a teen, fearing her father’s wrath 4 after she became pregnant.


"I would rather see a daughter of mine floating down the Cumberland River, he said, than to bring shame on this family and the indecency of an illegitimate child.”


That troubled childhood and a distant relationship with her parents has filled the rumor 5 mill. A long lost child, or even that the people she thought were her mother and father may not be her biological parents.


“As far as we know she isn’t very close with them, so really, you know, makes us think is this big secret, you know something to do with some new revelations about her mom and dad.”


And again, Oprah will reveal her big news on tomorrow show and as we are just talking about. This better be good. I mean this is…


The promotional spots that she said I’ve seen it all, but this, my friends, is the miracle of all miracles.


Well, we'll see because everybody is gonna be tuning 6 in tomorrow to find out, and this is her last year, 25 years, so, it’s like one after the other after the other, I mean, who knows, I don’t know…


Maybe it'll come out piecemeal 7.


Maybe, maybe she will hold it and tease forward, as they say, yeah, we will see.


All right, well, Mike, thank you for coming, we appreciate that.


Hopefully it won't be Al Capone's Vaults 8.
