Now, 30 years later, Oprah sits down one-on-one with Andre Walker, the "man behind the hair" for nearly three decades. As the friends bid adieu to their day-to-day professional association and Walker launches a new haircare product line currently available at Target stores, Oprah and Andre look back at their favorite and not-so-favorite Oprah hairstyles through the years. Then, music mogul Master P opens his magnificent home and introduces his children, including a grown-up son Romeo, who offers his take on the kind of man his father is.

Finally, Mike "Da Coach" Ditka takes time out at his Chicago restaurant to reminisce about those legendary 1985 Chicago Bears, and why getting fired is a fact of life he has learned to live with.OWN: OPRAH WINFREY NETWORK is the first and only network named for, and inspired by, a single iconic leader.
