WINNIPEG — Millions of Canadians watched him capture Olympic gold and celebrate by chugging a pitcher of beer.
Now, Manitoba’s fast-talking, beer-drinking Olympic champion Jon Montgomery will be watched by millions more when he makes an appearance on the queen of daytime’s talk show.
Montgomery will appear on the Oprah Winfrey Show tomorrow, and is filming the segment in Vancouver today.
A spokesman for Winfrey’s production company Harpo Inc. confirmed Montgomery will teach an Oprah Winfrey Show correspondent how to skeleton.
"It’s sort of surreal for us," Montgomery’s dad Eldon said. "It’s just been a whirlwind since the night of his victory (last Friday)."
Montgomery has become a media darling since he slid to a gold medal in the skeleton event last week.
The western Manitoba town of Russell is planning a huge celebration for their homegrown star on March 14, complete with a parade and free community barbecue.
