According to @variety, while speaking, Oprah reflected on some of her memorable interviews with #WhitneyHouston. She said, “We did the whole, ‘Hey girl, how you doing?’ greeting thing and then I stopped the cameras and I went behind stage and I said, ‘So tell me, what do you want to happen here? And I’m gonna tell you what I want to happen here, and that was one of the most powerful interviews.”

She went on to say, “The first interview I did with her when we’d gone behind stage and I asked her about her intention, she was clean, but the day she came to my show then to perform in front of the audience, she was not, and she fell off of the stage.”
