Join us at 9 p.m. ET for live commentary and reaction throughout the 90-minute interview. You can find OWN on your channel lineup by clicking here. Oprah.com will also be streaming the interview. 9:03 pm -- Oprah doesn't waste any time and cuts right to the chase. She begins the interview by asking Armstrong a series of "yes" or "no" questions. He responds yes to each, admitting that he used performance-enhancing drugs, took part in blood doping and took human-growth hormones. When asked whether he used PEDs in all seven of his Tour de France wins, he answered in the affirmative. 9:01 p.m. -- Here we go. After a short introduction with dramatic music and various news clips, the interview begins. Lance is dressed smartly in a sport coat with no tie. Oprah is wearing a light-colored dress. They are facing each other in cushioned chairs. A table in the middle holds two glasses of water, both with bendy straws. There is no couch on the set, which is an early disappointment for those hoping Lance would jump on one while proclaiming his love for PEDs. 8:59 p.m. -- The countdown disappeared with one minute to go. Expect this to be the first of many disappointments. 8:52 p.m. -- The highly-anticipated interview is only eight minutes away. We know that thanks to OWN's obtrusive on-screen graphic, which has been counting down all day to the "worldwide exclusive." Good thing too. The dozens of people watching the 5 p.m. re-air of the Mary Jo Buttafuoco episode of Where Are They Now? needed to know they had just four hours to prepare for Lance. Tags
