Oprah Winfrey wants to help people in need and aims to achieve that with her do-gooding new reality show, Oprah's Big Give.
"Big Give is fun, entertaining, emotional, inspiring and intense," she told TV Guide.
"It's always fun for me to be able to give and to watch people's reactions. I love a great surprise. There are many moments that will leave you in tears of joy."
Oprah adds: "I wouldn't be involved with anything that was going to humiliate or dehumanise or make anybody feel bad.
"When we decided to do a series, we knew that we had to create something that was different, a new kind of television, a new kind of idea."
The competition, which premieres on Sunday March 2, sees 10 contestants run around America to help make strangers' dreams come true, with the wads of cash they are given.
The person deemed "the biggest giver" wins one million US dollars.
Oprah's Big Give is filled with stars - Jamie Oliver, Malaak Compton-Rock (wife of comedian Chris) and NFL player Tony Gonzalez sit on the judging panel, while the presenter's celebrity friends, including Jennifer Aniston, Donald Trump and John Travolta, lend a hand.
