Vintage Oprah
How to Marry the Man or Woman of Your Choice

September 8, 1986
  Oprah It's the first national Oprah Winfrey Show—the show that started it all! For our national debut in 1986, we asked tons of celebrities to come on the show, but many refused, asking "Oprah who?" So instead, we debuted with a show that has become one of our favorites, and hopefully yours: How to Marry the Man or Woman of Your Choice.

Highlights from the Show
Oprah: You've got a lot of nerve charging $95 for a book. What is it you know that we don't know that is worth $95 for paperback?

Author Margaret Kent: You're buying a spouse, not a book. See, that is a real pittance for a spouse because if you don't marry the person of your choice, you get your money back, and further more, I have my name and number right on that cover so you can call me if you either need an explanation, a pat on the back or even a kick in the fanny to do what you have to do.
