How Being on The Oprah Show Changed Marcus and Will's Lives

Aired on 10/28/2011 | CC

In 2009, Oprah spoke with two audience members, Will and Marcus, who happened to be huge Mariah Carey fans. Oprah ended up paying for them to fly to New York City for them to meet Mariah on The Oprah Show! As if that weren't enough, the experience itself saved their lives: Marcus lost 65 pounds after seeing himself on the show, and Will discovered he had a tumor in his neck and is now cancer free in 2011.
