Winfrey credits Robin Williams for her success

Washington (ANI): Talk show queen Oprah Winfrey has credited comedian Robin Williams for making her TV's biggest star. She revealed that an interview they recorded as young up-and-coming talents helped land her a top job.

In her book O's Big Book of Happiness, Winfrey revealed how her high-spirited chat with the energetic funnyman - back when she was just 24 - helped convince network bosses to hand her first talk show, reports Contactmusic.

She describes the interview as "five minutes of the most exhilarating, wild, off-the-charts minutes I'd ever spent in an interview with the most uninhibited, out-of-the-box, free-falling-in-every-second celebrity/human I'd ever met."
