The interview with John not only marked the beginning of The Oprah Show's 11th season, it was also the first—and only—time a guest sat in her brand new linen chairs. "At the end of that interview, I remember John standing up and saying, 'Oh, look, I've got lint all over me.' I was mortified," Oprah says.
