Oprah gives everyone in audience a new car
CHICAGO Oprah Winfrey celebrated the premiere of her 19th season today by surprising each of her 276 audience members with a new car.
"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 that aired today.
Making sure the audience was kept in suspense, Winfrey opened the show by calling 11 audience members 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 the audience members 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 members 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.
"A little idea grew into a big idea," Mary Henige of Pontiac told The Associated Press.
She added that Pontiac will pay for the taxes and the customizing of the cars.
Winfrey said the audience members were chosen because their friends or family had written to the show about their need for a new car. One woman's young son said she drove a car that "looks like she got into a gunfight"; another couple had almost 400,000 miles on their two vehicles.
In other segments on the show, taped Thursday, Winfrey surprised a 20-year-old girl who had spent years in foster care and homeless shelters with a four-year college scholarship, a makeover and $10,000 in clothes. And a family with eight foster children who were going to be kicked out of their house were given $130,000 to buy and repair the home.
"The Oprah Winfrey Show," which debuted in 1986, is syndicated to 212 domestic markets and 109 countries. |

CHICAGO -- People who got new cars in a surprise giveaway on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" are finding out that those vehicles aren't exactly free.
The 276 audience members who received Pontiac G6s on Winfrey's show will need to come up with thousands of dollars to cover taxes on their winnings.
Pontiac agreed to pay most of the local charges, including state sales tax and licensing fees.
But the hitch is that each winner must report the car's $28,500 value as income and pay taxes on it -- which could add up to more than $7,000.
Some recipients say it's still a good deal. Winner Tiffany Self -- a Wheaton College employee -- points out that it isn't often that you can get a new car for $7,000.

И да, на ова се скинав од смеење:
Jay Leno got into the act Monday night. He told his audience he'd be doing something similar to what Oprah did -- and that everyone in the crowd would be getting a picture of Leno with his 276 cars.
Значи уживам во неговиве шоуа, ретко ги пропуштав.
