Will he bounce up and down again? Can you stand the suspense? You know that's what'll be on everyone's mind when Tom Cruise returns to the Oprah show for a two-part, special tribute to the box office star. The last time Tom knocked knees with Oprah was the day of his not infamous couch jumping episode. He was so excited about his then new love, Katie Holmes -- who is now Mrs. Tom -- that the box office king leaped up onto the couch. His spontaneous show of love (craziness, borderline mania?) has become part of pop culture. It's been imitated on comedy shows, replayed on YouTube, and generally will be forever associated with both Oprah and Cruise.

Chances are lightning will not strike twice. Even if he wants to jump again, it's been done. So, the Oprah producers have come up with something they hope will be as memorable. In honor of the 25th anniversary of Risky Business, Cruise's breakout comedy hit, two episodes of Oprah will be devoted to Tom. In part one, on May 2, Oprah will go to Telluride to interview Tom in his Colorado home. That hour is going to be all about Cruise's family, his life, a look at his home, and a general happy happy joy joy time.

Part two will air on May 5 and is going to be filmed at the Harpo studios. That means furniture will be involved. Things to sit on, like couches. Friends (ooh, does that include Rosie O'Donnell?) and colleagues (think they'll snag Paul Newman?) will wax poetic in filmed tributes to Mr. Cruise. Save the dates on your calendar. Set those DVRs now.
