Oprah Winfrey’s eponymous talk show aired for 25 years, but in all that time the TV star only had one major regret — her infamous “wagon of fat”.
In the now-legendary ‘Diet Dreams Come True’ episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show, Oprah donned a pair of size 10 Calvin Klein jeans and wheeled out a wagon containing 67 pounds of fat to represent the weight she had lost.

The episode aired on November 15, 1988, but the star still regrets it 23 years later. In a candid interview with Entertainment Tonight the talk show queen named the incident as her biggest blunder.
“Big, big, big mistake,” she said, rolling her eyes. “When I look at that show, I think it was one of the biggest ego trips of my life.”
Asked what she would tell herself if she could go back in time, Oprah shrieked: “I would say, ‘Don’t do it! It’s a great TV moment but don’t do it!”
Oprah’s new show Lifeclass premieres on her OWN network next week. It will see her teaching her life lessons to others in a bid to make their lives happier.
Your say: Did you think Oprah’s “wagon of fat” was entertaining, or a mistake?
