Oprah Winfrey To Host Olympians At Millennium Park

Michael Phelps, Natsia Lukin, Kobe Bryant Expected

CHICAGO (AP) ― Gold medalists Michael Phelps, Nastia Lukin and Kobe Bryant, along with 150 other U.S. Olympic team members, will be on the season premiere of "The Oprah Winfrey Show."

Winfrey plans to tape the show with the Olympians at Chicago's Millennium Park on Wednesday.

Harpo Productions says Winfrey intends the show as a "welcome home celebration" and a chance to showcase Chicago as the city bids for the 2016 Summer Olympics.

Other athletes expected to attend include the beach volleyball gold medal team of Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh, gold medal basketball players Carmelo Anthony, Lisa Leslie and Dwyane Wade and silver medal swimmer Dara Torres.

The 23rd season premiere of Winfrey's talk show will air September 8th.
