Tuesday was obviously Oprah's big day downtown, but it turned out to be a big day and night for WTMX's Eric & Kathy too. Earlier that day, Oprah called into the E&K show on WTMX to talk about her big kick-off show being taped on Michigan Avenue later on. E&K said they were going to be there and how much they were looking forward to it. Oprah, seemingly kiddingly, said that they should do tequila shots afterwards. Later, at the Oprah taping, some Oprah staffers saw Kathy Hart in the crowd and allowed her & Eric to come up to the side of the stage with the press. From there, they got hugs from Oprah and were allowed to stay after. When the show ended, E&K were taken back to Trump Tower with Oprah and her staff. They went to the bar and, sure enough, they all did tequila shots together! One shot then turned into a few shots. When Oprah heard that Kathy had to drive home, she would not allow it and put her up in a nice room for the night at the Trump. When Oprah said that they should do a shot and when will.i.am sang "Tonight's gonna be a good, good night", Eric and Kathy had no idea how true that all was.
