Lisa Ling joins “OWN” with new show. The show" Our America" The hour-long show will premiere tonight and will examine controversial topics such as sex offenders, drug addiction, online brides, and religious movements and that‘s just to start with.
The hope is to provoke discussion through the accounts of the varied experiences, Ling said via phone from Upstate New York where she was finishing the tail end of the show.
"She (Oprah) wasn’t so involved with the production of the series, but she has been so effusive about this series. I’ve definitely kept every e-mail she has sent.
“I always get e-mails from Oprah [Winfrey] at, like, 2 a.m.,” she said. “It just never stops.”
This isn't the first time Ling and Oprah have teamed up. Ling's has been a field correspondent for "The Oprah Winfrey Show" as well as co-host on " The View from 1999-2002.
“Even though I’ve been working in this business for over 20 years, I’ve never gotten a chance to do some really provocative programming,” Ling said of her opportunity at "OWN".
“OWN has really let me work on stories in a way that I wouldn’t be able to do anywhere else.”
