Oprah's Lifeclass (also known as Oprah's Lifeclass: The Tour in the show's second season) is an American primetime television show hosted and produced by Oprah Winfrey, which aired on OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network. The series premiered on October 10, 2011.
Oprah's Lifeclass is a self-help program that showcases "all of Oprah's lessons, revelations and aha moments over the past 25 years broken down to help make your life better, happier, bigger, richer – more fulfilling."
Each episode revolves around a central topic or lesson that teaches viewers how to live their best life. Winfrey and her co-hosts share their ideas, thoughts, and reflections about the lesson, and the show features interviews with guests (and sometimes past guests and audience members from The Oprah Winfrey Show) whose life experiences relate to each topic. Every episode also features segments with guests from around the world, who connect with Winfrey via Skype, Facebook, Twitter, or Oprah.com.
Season One of Oprah's Lifeclass debuted on Monday October 10, 2011, and aired weekdays at 8/7c on OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network. The first season features twenty-five episodes. During the first week of season one, Winfrey hosted nightly webcasts at 9/8c on Oprah.com to complement each on-air lesson. She was joined by a spiritual teacher or self-help expert, with whom she would discuss each Lifeclass lesson. After the first week of shows, she went on to host a televised webcast every Friday night at 9/8c called Oprah's Lifeclass LIVE to rehash the week's lessons with relationship expert, Iyanla Vanzant.
In the second season, Winfrey took the show on the road with a panel of spiritual teachers. Season Two premiered as Oprah's Lifeclass: The Tour from its first stop at The Peabody Opera House in St. Louis, Missouri on Monday March 26, 2012 at 8/7c with a two-hour live episode with guest co-host Iyanla Vanzant. The second season aired weekly on Monday at 8/7c and features six two-hour episodes that were simultaneously televised on OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network and streamed online at Oprah.com (instead of separate telecast episodes and webcasts, as was the case with the first season). The tour concluded at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre in Toronto, Ontario; the final episode was filmed on Monday April 16, 2012 and aired on OWN on Monday April 30, 2012.
