NEW YORK, Dec. 6 (UPI) -- Oprah Winfrey has taped an interview in New York for "The Dr. Oz Show," starring Dr. Mehmet Oz, a frequent guest on "The Oprah Winfrey Show."

Winfrey helped establish Oz as a popular television personality, and then became a producer on his show when it began in 2009.

"The Oprah Winfrey Show" wrapped up its 25-year run last spring.

Winfrey is to appear on Wednesday's edition of "The Dr. Oz Show."

"I am overflowing with both gratitude and excitement that the woman who taught me how to work in television and who had the faith in me to launch this show, is here to sit and share her remarkable story with the audience," Oz said in a statement Tuesday. "This year, we are focusing on transformation and change and there is no better public figure to bear witness to positive change and resilience than Oprah Winfrey."
