The taping comes at more than a slight inconvenience to locals, as 15 buses have been rerouted through the busy Windy City street from Sunday through 6 a.m. Wednesday. More irritated were tourists flocking to Chicago, only to see certain areas had been cordoned off.

The season premiere of The Oprah Winfrey Show airs Monday, September 14, featuring a revealing interview with Whitney Houston; check local listings for time.
