Oprah and Letterman bury the hatchet

Winfrey, who has been the subject of frequent jokes by Letterman, said she had "never for a moment" had a problem with the host.

Letterman praised Winfrey, adding: "I'm just very happy you're here."

After the interview, Letterman escorted Winfrey to the New York opening of her new Broadway Show The Color Purple.

Winfrey was a guest twice on Letterman's NBC show before the comic moved to CBS in 1993 but had not appeared since then.

During her appearance, Winfrey asked Letterman: "Could you tell me please what has transpired?"
