Oprah Winfrey’s legendary car giveaway remains one of the most unforgettable moments in daytime television history. On Sept. 13, 2004, viewers watched as the host surprised her studio audience with Pontiac G6s, but the giveaway was far bigger than anyone initially realized.
Reflecting on the special episode with Vanity Fair on July 21, Winfrey, 72, revealed that the audience was led to believe that only 12 cars were up for grabs. After 11 vehicles had already been handed out, Winfrey had small gift boxes distributed throughout the studio, telling the audience that just one box contained the key to the final car.
“There was supposedly one car left,” Winfrey recalled. “And everybody was thinking they were going to be that one person. You see them all like, ‘I hope it’s me.’”
