Oprah Winfrey : Oprah Winfrey credits Robin Williams for her TV success

Talk show queen Oprah Winfrey has credited comedian Robin Williams for making her TV’s biggest star.

She revealed that an interview they recorded as young up-and-coming talents helped land her a top job.

In her book O’s Big Book of Happiness, Winfrey revealed how her high-spirited chat with the energetic funnyman – back when she was just 24 – helped convince network bosses to hand her first talk show, reports Contactmusic.

She describes the interview as “five minutes of the most exhilarating, wild, off-the-charts minutes I’d ever spent in an interview with the most uninhibited, out-of-the-box, free-falling-in-every-second celebrity/human I’d ever met.” (ANI)
