Behind the Scenes

After spending a weekend under the weather, Oprah takes the stage to welcome superstar Mariah Carey , who now has more number one hits than Elvis Presley! "I hear a lot of Elvis fans are upset. It's okay," Oprah says. "He's still the king. And now she has her own crown."

Oprah introduces a very familiar face to the audience before the taping of Emergency House Call: Dr. Oz and a Family in Crisis .

It's almost showtime! Dr. Oz reviews a few notes while stage manager Dean straightens things up. In the meantime, Terry, a producer, gives Oprah a few directions.

After her mom and dad talked to Dr. Oz, 6-year-old Bailie gets to hang out with Oprah.

Stage manager Dean gives Oprah a few last-minute updates before she gets ready to talk via Skype to women who have been affected by Maria Shriver's book Just Who Will You Be?

Oprah issued some stern instructions to help this family cut down on the amount of waste in their lives . Tina and Oprah share a moment during break.

Business expert Marcus Buckingham flew in months ago to run a career workshop with 30 women and Oprah. Before he can help the rest of the country put their strengths to work, stage manager Dean preps him for the show.

All camera angles are covered during Oprah's show with Marcus Buckingham.

Before the end of Oprah's taping with Marcus, workshop participant Vanessa
compliments Oprah's shoes. Oprah says they look beautiful, but don't feel that
great. "Who wants to walk around in 'em?" Oprah says. "They look really good
when you're sitting, though. It elongates your whole leg thing. It's very
nice."
