Talk show host Oprah Winfrey’s always been famous for her giveaways but this season she takes it to a whole new level. Oprah gave a car to each of the 276 people in the audience at the premiere of her talk show to celebrate the start of her 19th season. The audience members will be able to choose what color Pontiac G-6 sedan they want.
The audience members were chosen based on their need for a new car. She called eleven people on stage and gave them cars. Then boxes were handed out to the audience and Oprah told them there was a key to a 12th car in one of the boxes. But all of the boxes contained keys, meaning that everyone received a car. Oprah then took the audience outside to see the Pontiac G-6’s in the parking lot, each with a red bow on top. Pontiac donated the cars which retail for $28,000.
“We’re calling this our wildest dream season, because this year on the Oprah show, no dream is too wild, no surprise too impossible to pull off,” Winfrey said on the show. Her show has consistently been number one since its debut in 1986.
Update: Overnight Preliminary rating numbers are showing that the Oprah Season Debut had huge amounts of viewers with a 9.8/23 Share.
