"There is only one Oprah Winfrey," Jeff Fager, executive producer, said in a statement. "She has achieved excellence in everything she has touched. Her body of work is extraordinary, including thousands of interviews with people from all walks of life. She is a remarkable and talented woman with a level of integrity that sets her apart and makes her a perfect fit for 60 Minutes. I am thrilled that she will be bringing her unique and powerful voice to our broadcast."
Winfrey hosted The Oprah Winfrey Show for 25 years before ending the series and launching OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network. Winfrey's Harpo Productions is also behind Dr. Phil, The Dr. Oz Show and Rachael Ray. She's also an Oscar-nominated actress for The Color Purple.

"I've been a big admirer of 60 Minutes since my days as a young reporter," Winfrey said in a statement. "I'm so excited and proud to join forces with this historic news program, which for me represents the bastion of journalistic storytelling. At a time when people are so divided, my intention is to bring relevant insight and perspective, to look at what separates us, and help facilitate real conversations between people from different backgrounds."
