Viagra is the scheduled topic for Oprah's show tomorrow, May 20th. This per online Oprah schedule (keyword: Oprah). Here's the description posted for the show:

"Viagra Tales (PG)
Recently, the FDA approved Viagra, the first pill to treat impotence. This dysfunction affects millions of men in the United States, and the demand and popularity of Viagra has made headline news for weeks. Today we'll hear from men -- and women -- who've tried this so-called "miracle drug." They'll tell you if it worked for them. We'll also get important information from doctors who will share their medical opinions about the safety and effectiveness of this new remedy."
