Tom is set to return to Oprah, almost three years after his infamous couch-jumping appearance.

It'll be a two-part show to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Risky Business.

Harpo Productions has released a statement saying friends and colleagues will surprise Tommy with taped messages talking about how great an actor he is -- well what a surprise! I guess they think Tom doesn't read or listen to the news!

The interview will be taped at Tom's Telluride home for the May 2 show and then on May 5, Cruise will be in Oprah's Chicago studio.
