Oprah's Grand Rapids interviews to be featured on '60 Minutes' Sunday

GRAND RAPIDS, MI - Interviews Oprah Winfrey conducted in downtown Grand Rapids last month will be broadcast on CBS' "60 Minutes" this Sunday.

It will be Winfrey's first story for "60 Minutes," and will mark her return to broadcast TV for the first time since her talk show ended in 2011.

Her show will explore America's political divide, according to the network.

Winfrey was spotted in downtown Grand Rapids Aug. 23 interviewing U.S. Rep. Justin Amash, R-Cascade Township, outside of the Ford Presidential Museum.

Winfrey also met with a panel of locals.

In a May interview with Vogue, Winfrey shared her motivation to join "60 Minutes" as a special contributor.

Two weeks after President Donald Trump's election, Winfrey's "O" magazine organized an all-women group of Trump and Clinton supporters for a roundtable talk - and some of them didn't want to sit next to each other, Winfrey said to Vogue.

"By pressing the conversation in such a way that people could hear each other's stories without them being politicized, I was able to get those women from different backgrounds to begin to actually hear and feel for each other," Winfrey said to Vogue. "By the end of that two and a half hours, I could have gotten them to sing 'Kumbaya' for real if I wanted to."

The segment of "60 Minutes" will be broadcast at 7:30 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 24, and will be the premiere episode of the show's 50th Anniversary season.

In addition to Winfrey's story, the show includes a look at Hurricane Harvey's destruction in Houston and an interview with U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., about his health and Washington politics.
