Last month when Oprah interviewed the late singer's daughter, she snagged 3.5 million viewers, which was the biggest audience ever for OWN!
Perhaps Bobbi Kristina was already cast at that time because she dropped hints that she wanted to follow in her mother's footsteps and become a singer and actress.
Tyler's been active with his connection to Whitney. He reportedly made his private jet available to her family to transport her body to Newark, N.J. Plus, he spoke at her funeral.
