Could there be a future Oprah Winfrey in our midst? Well, thats what the new competition series on the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) is on the hunt to find out.

In Your OWN Show: Oprahs Search for the Next TV Star, co-hosted by Nancy ODell (Access Hollywood) and Carson Kressley (Queer Eye for the Straight Guy), 10 finalists (picked from 15,000 entrants!)will compete for the ultimate prize: their own talk show to air on the network. Watch out, Rosie ODonnell!

Now I can check off one of my career goals, which is to work with the amazing Oprah Winfrey,O'Dell, who left "Access Hollywood" after 13 years in2009,said in a statement.

Finalists will participate in a host boot camp, with challenges ranging from booking interviews to researching story ideas (stuff were sure Oprah has done lots of).
