Chicago seems to be the only thing Mike Ditka and Oprah have in common. But that hasn't stopped Oprah from wondering what Ditka is doing now.

Ditka will be featured on Oprah's "Where Are They Now?", where Oprah tracks down newsworthy figures from the past and famous guests from her show to give us updates on their lives. On the episode airing at 9 p.m. Saturday, Ditka will be featured with Oprah's hairstylist Andre Walker, rapper Master P and singer Amy Grant. It seems like an unlikely place for Ditka to appear, but he's not the only person with ties to the Bears to appear on the show; Jay Cutler's wife and former Laguna Beach star Kristin Cavallari was on it last year.

Many Chicagoans and sports fans have kept up with Ditka's life. He's remained in the spotlight in Chicago since the Bears' Super Bowl victory over 20 years ago. He has his own empire of lines ranging from cigars to wine to restaurants to kid's clothing. He's also an NFL analyst on ESPN where he's seen on a regular basis.

Oprah: Where Are They Now? airs Saturday, Oct. 10 at 9 p.m. on OWN.
