Michelle Obama to appear on 'The Oprah Winfrey Show'

Michelle Obama is set to appear on The Oprah Winfrey Show.

The first lady was travelling to her hometown of Chicago Friday to tape an episode of the show, The Chicago Tribune reported.

An Obama aide told the paper that the programme, which will also showcase journalists Tom Brokaw and Bob Woodward, will focus on military families.

The episode is expected to air next on January 27, reports the New York Post.

Winfrey was an early supporter of President Barack Obama in his 2008 campaign and has since raised millions of dollars for him.
