You get a car! You get a car! Everybody gets a car!” It was the opening episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show’s nineteenth season and even back then, the title of Daytime Television Queen was beginning to feel inadequate for Oprah. For her millions of fans, the very name brought positive energy. Oprah wasn’t just a celebrity any more, she was a state of being. And that day her devotees got their “loaves and fishes” moment. Oprah kick-started the season premiere by revealing to her 276 live audience members that they would each receive a $30,000 Pontiac G6 sports sedan. feedback@thepunch.com.au (Lincoln Howes) Article http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/the-oprah-has-no-clothes/#comments http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/the-oprah-has-no-clothes/#item4628 Sun, 05 Dec 2010 20:00:38 +0000 Lincoln Howes | Author bios | The Punch
