Erin Andrews of ESPN will appear on Oprah on September 11th according to Richard Deitsch at Sports Illustrated. In a Tweet just moments ago, he stated :

Just learned that ESPN’s Erin Andrews will appear on The Oprah Winfrey Show on Sept. 11. Show was taped last week.

Erin will no doubt be discussing her ordeal related to the peephole video which was released on the internet, and the subsequent pressure she has been under from the media. She recently appeared in GQ magazine, in a photo shoot which took place before the peephole video scandal broke, however after that video first appeared online.

In Deitsch’s follow-up article, he states :

The segment was taped last week and will be the only in-depth interview Andrews gives on the subject.

Deadspin had previously predicted that this would happen, stating on August 6th that :

Oprah. Larry King. Diane Sawyer. Katie Couric. According to one snitch/source, these are some of the heavy-hitters jockeying for the exclusive EA post-peephole heart-to-heart sit-down.

and then the follow-up comments from her lawyer:

“Erin Andrews has not committed to any on-air interviews. She has received and declined all invitations to do so. She is not in negotiations with any media to do so. mg”

I guess Oprah had to bid higher. So we created the image below as a start to a Photoshop contest, but then the AP went and released a photo of the actual appearance, thus making the contest even more silly than it originally was:
