Watch the L.A. Derby Dolls on Oprah!

That's right: The Oprah Winfrey Show paid a visit to the Doll Factory a few weeks back. The segment will feature retired Tough Cookie and current LADD trainer Axles of Evil (aka Alex Cohen) as she guides five women, each "stepping outside their box," through the world of roller derby. The women learn Derby 101 and get a chance to scrimmage with several Derby Dolls.

The segment airs tomorrow, 11/4, at 3 p.m. on KABC here in L.A. Set your TIVOs or check your local listings. Watch the preview here.
