CHICAGO—Oprah might want to nail down her furniture.
Tom Cruise is scheduled to return to “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” nearly three years after a couch-jumping appearance that spawned countless YouTube parodies and late-night jokes.
Chicago-based Harpo Productions says friends and colleagues will surprise Cruise with taped messages honoring his work in movies.
Winfrey will interview Cruise from his home in Telluride, Colorado, for the first show on May 2, which will cover his “family, his life and the future.” Then on May 5th, Cruise will appear in Winfrey’s Chicago studio.
Cruise became the butt of jokes after a May 2005 appearance on Winfrey’s show, where he repeatedly jumped on the talk-show host’s couch, saying his love for now-wife Katie Holmes was “beyond cool.”
