Country star Martina McBride will make her second appearance in one week on The Oprah Winfrey Show on Nov. 3 when she visits with "The O" from her home state of Kansas.

Last week, McBride performed on Oprah’s State Fair of Texas episode, but the episode was actually taped two weeks prior. The theme of Oprah's Nov. 3 show is celebrities’ “first jobs,” and Martina will be on hand to dish about serving up ice cream and burgers at her hometown Dairy Queen eatery in Hutchinson, Kan.

For the show, the country star and Oprah will visit the hometown restaurant, which is still owned by the same couple who employed Martina after high school.

“Getting the call to be on Oprah’s show twice in such a short time period was exciting,” admitted McBride, who currently gearing to tour with co-headliner Trace Adkins beginning Nov. 20. “I’ve done Texas and Kansas … (so) maybe Oklahoma is next,” she joked.

Beyond catching Martina on Oprah, McBride also recently taped a segment in Nashville for In The Spotlight With Robin Roberts: Bright Lights. Big Stars. All Access Nashville. The ABC special gives viewers an unprecedented, all-access pass into the homes and private lives of country music’s biggest stars and introduces America to the up-and-coming singer/songwriters working to become Nashville’s next hit sensations. The special will air Nov. 10 on ABC at 9 p.m. (Central).

McBride is currently nominated for a 2009 CMA Award for Female Vocalist of the Year, an award she's won four times, tying her with Reba McEntire for the most wins. The 2009 CMA Awards will be broadcast live Nov, 11 on ABC at 7 p.m. (Central).
