:DCHICAGO - Oprah Winfrey celebrated the premiere of her 19th season by surprising each of her 276 audience members with a new car.
Making sure the audience was kept in suspense, Winfrey opened the show by calling 11 people onto the stage. She gave each of them a car — a Pontiac G6.
She then had gift boxes distributed to the rest of the audience and said one of the boxes contained keys to a 12th car. But when everyone opened the boxes, each had a set of keys.
"Everybody gets a car! Everybody gets a car! Everybody gets a car!" Winfrey yelled as she jumped up and down on the stage.
The audience screamed, cried and hugged each other — then followed Winfrey out to the parking lot of her Harpo Studios to see their Pontiacs, all decorated with giant red bows.
The cars, which retail for $28,000, were donated by Pontiac.
Figure out the price tag..... 28,000 x 276 =$7,728,000
Sweet! :)
I don't care much for Oprah but I'll sit through her show for hummer! :D
Im not even gonna touch that one token......lol
;D
i wouldn't want a Hummer from Oprah
If anyone wants to watch that on a video stream, they have the basic scene of it all on Oprah.com- that was one of those scenes you gotta see for yourself. VERY Good way to start a new season... What a ratings booster!
at least there wasn't a wardrobe malfuction btw USA Today had it on the front page
i wanna car too :(
If Oprah really wants to show her appreciation, she should hand out wads of hundred dollar bills. She has plenty to spare.
I need a new car. :-\
i like my Outback and my Baja and my F-150
Now all the people are crying that they have to pay taxes on their prize. Talk about ungrateful. :-\
That is pretty sweet haha, too bad Oprah is always giving away stuff so it's hard to get in her audience... Maybe it's the reason her show is so popular ;)
