What a thrilling night for a Kenmore native!

After months of competition, 26-year-old Zach Anner was one of two finalists in Friday night's final episode of the program called 'Your Own Show' on Oprah Winfrey's network. Anner, who now lives in Texas and has cerebral palsy, has said it is his dream to host a travel show for people who never thought they could travel.

In the end, Oprah decided that Zach and Christina Kuzmic will both get their own shows!

"I just got my own show from Oprah Winfrey. I don't normally do back-flips, but I think I could do them," said Anner.

Winfrey says just being around Zach makes you want to be a better person.
