Oprah Winfrey welcomed back her 'most controversial' guest ever - A Million Little Pieces author James Frey.
Frey returned to The Opra Winfreu five years after she berated him on-air over his admission that he had made up significant portions of his memoir A Million Little Pieces.
During the interview Oprah said she was shocked about the 'huge backlash' after their previous interview.
Oprah awarded the book, much of which later turned out to be fictitious, a top selection in Oprah Club.
The accolade shot the memoir back to the top of the bestseller list - so the chat show queen was particularly upset when she found out much of it was false.
James told Oprah that he's never watched that infamous episode of The Oprah Show from 2006.
'I think of it as sort of a personal car crash for me,' he said.
'I just don't want to watch it. It was definitely not my finest day.'
Frey said he felt Oprah had ambushed him in the episode after being told by producers that the show was about the 'flexibility' of truth.
'I thought I got ambushed, absolutely,' he said. 'I think even had I known what I was walking into I probably still would have walked into it.
'At the end of it, it didn't matter what happened on that show because in some ways I deserved it.
'You know, I made a mistake, and at a certain time, it came time to pay for it, and I paid for it.'
