In this week's all-new episode of the popular series OPRAH: WHERE ARE THEY NOW?, celebrity updates include actor Malcolm-Jamal Warner, New Edition's Johnny Gill and figure skater Tai Babilonia. The show airs Saturday, December 17 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT on OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network.
For eight seasons, TV audiences throughout the world came to know actor Malcom-Jamal Warner as Theo Huxtable in what was the most popular TV show of its time. Our cameras spend the day with the actor, director and poet in the recording studio, as he records his latest album. He talks candidly about the passing of former girlfriend, actress Michelle Thomas, and shares his thoughts about the legacy of "The Cosby Show."
Next, this singer's smooth, mellow voice helped put New Edition on top in the 1990s and today, Johnny Gill opens his gorgeous Beverly Hills home and recalls how he was invited to become a member of the group following its initial success. Gill puts to rest rumors of a long-standing feud between himself and Bobby Brown, who he calls "a little brother," and recounts how he brought all the members of New Edition together again this year for a new song that was their first #1 hit in 20 years. He also shares plans for the group's upcoming tour, and his commitment to giving back as a mentor to kids with Autism Spectrum Disorder at Dr. Wiley's LA Speech and Language Therapy Center.
Next, world class figure skater Tai Babilonia, at home in Los Angeles, recounts the trajectory of her longtime skating partnership with Randy Gardner, including the pair's last-minute withdrawal from the 1980 Olympics and the call they got from then-President Jimmy Carter the next day. Still more comfortable on the ice today than anywhere else, the skating star tells her very personal story of alcoholism and her long road to achieving and maintaining sobriety.
Next, hunky Aussie TV gardener, Jamie Durie, recalls his road from the Australian outback to the stage as one of the stars of The Thunder from Down Under, to international fame as a renowned and sought-after landscape and furniture designer. Lastly, it's a happy check-in with "miracle baby" Zoe, 12 years after her remarkable c-section delivery at only 27 weeks.
