Suze Orman must've made a good impression while filming 'Ask Oprah's All Stars,' because the financial guru has just gotten her own show on the Oprah Winfrey Network.Tentatively titled 'Money Class,' Orman will help families, couples and individuals set finance goals and task them with challeges to help them learn how to manage their money responsibly.
The new show will debut in the fall of 2011, but you can catch Orman on 'All Stars' Jan. 9, 16 and 23, and on the third episode of 'Your OWN Show,' airing Jan. 21 at 9PM ET.
