Welcome.

I am Ben Horowitz, and this is Oprah.

Thank you.

Did you like it?

I mean... Would you tell other people about it?

Good.

It's...

Thanks.

I'm glad everybody liked the show.

It would have made the interview a lot harder otherwise.

So, kind of getting right into it, in the very first segment of the very first episode,

when I first watched it, I felt like, you know, having the story of the girl who was raped and lost her faith and lost her way, kind of was you letting me know as the audience that this wasn't just Oprah coming and reporting the news or telling a story, but it was kind of deeper and more important than that.

What does this mean to you to put out a series like this?

Well, first of all, thanks for doing it, you and Felicia. Thank you.

Thanks for hosting it. Thank you for coming. Thank you for sharing it.

You all are the people to know in this town. Thank you.

It feels like, as I was saying in introducing it, it feels like an offering.

You know, my whole life, my entire life's work in

television has been about trying to connect people through stories so that you see yourself

in that story and see the best of yourself. And the opportunity to offer this series to the world is, to me, it feels like literally an offering.

And it's not about ratings and it's not about, you know, trying to make a lot of money from it or all the other things, reasons

why people do television.
