A Date With Luyu (also spelled A Date With Lu Yu) (simplified Chinese: 鲁豫有约; traditional Chinese: 魯豫有約; pinyin: Lǔyù Yǒu Yuē) is a popular Chinese television talk show that airs on Phoenix Television. Because the show emulates the success and format of The Oprah Winfrey Show[citation needed], its host and creator, Chen Luyu, has been called "China's Oprah"[citation needed]. The show includes a studio audience of about 300. The show covers a wide range of issues: interviewees range from artists and musicians such as Li Yundi,[1] business leaders such as Robin Li, diplomatic figures such as US ambassador to China Gary Locke,[2] academics such as Prof Michael Dobson[3] and sports figures such as Shane Battier. She is also willing to address controversial subjects.[citation needed]

It is noted that some interviews are conducted in English, with Chinese subtitles, as was the cases when Lu Yu interviewed Wentworth Miller, Nick Vujicic, and Hillary Clinton with Timothy Geithner.[4] Audience members are required to understand English in these instances, because Lu Yu has warned about problems with interviews being done entirely in a single language, i.e. Mandarin Chinese.
Luyu averages 140 million viewers per show.
