Oprah Winfrey Celebrates 22th Season with Car Giveaways
Television host Oprah Winfrey had a surprise for the 276 members of her studio audience when she opened the latest season of her daytime talk show on Monday — she gave them all new cars. The $7 million giveaway came courtesy of General Motors, which provided the free Pontiac G6 sports sedans, a new line of cars, as part of a promotional deal with Winfrey’s Chicago-based show, a spokeswoman for her Harpo Productions said. The automotive handout introduced a “Wildest Dreams Come True” theme for the 19th season of “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” which has reigned as the top daytime talk programs in U.S. syndication since its debut in 1986. “No dream is too wild, no surprise too impossible to pull off,” Winfrey said during the telecast.
The show opened with Winfrey calling 11 members of the audience to the stage and surprising them with the new car. She then handed out gift boxes to the rest of the audience, saying one of them contained the keys to a 12th free car. At the count of three, the boxes were opened all at once, revealing to shrieks of delight that everyone had won a set of keys.
Winfrey then led the ecstatic crowd outside the studio to a parking lot filled with G6s topped with big red bows. Each member of the audience was instructed to contact a Pontiac representative to personally customize the actual cars they will receive, allowing them to choose the color and features that come with a fully loaded model.
“We’ve never done a giveaway like this before,” Harpo spokeswoman Carly Ubersox told Reuters.
She said most members of the audience had been specially selected from letters sent in advance by viewers on behalf of themselves, friends or family who were in need of a new car. But the audience members were kept in the dark about the nature of the show until it was taped.
Winfrey also gave away a four-year college scholarship, $10,000 wardrobe and make-over to a young woman who spent her teen years in foster care and homeless shelters. And a family with eight foster children was presented with a new houseful of furniture and electronics plus a $130,000 check to cover their mortgage and home repairs.

Dear Oprah,
I am a 37 year old single mom of 3. Ages 13 Kiersten, 7 Alayna, 6 Christopher Jr.. I have been a widowed twice. I married my high school sweetheart 2/1994 only to become a widow in 11/1994 due to my 1st husband Roger hitting a tractor trailor head on. (no alcohol involved). He was killed at the scene. I was 21. I thought my life was over. Although, we had no children I was devastated. My dreams had been stolen in the blink of an eye.
I tried very hard to resume friendships with friends and such. That all just wasnt a reality. My world had been Roger since I was 13 years old. I have a twin sister who dreamnt of going to college, and did. I felt so different than all of my peers. I didn’t know who I was or what I was going to do.
I chose to move to Florida with a man I only knew for a short time. His name was Roy. I married him in 3/1997 and we had a daughter together on 11/19/1997. This would be my precious Kiersten. Unfortunatley Roy was very abusive. In all ways. physically,emotionally etc.. You name it. I lived it.
He decided to shoot up the inside of our home and severly beat me up. Kiersten was a year old. I realized right then, both she and I deserved more. I filed for divorce and decided that I needed to be the mother my child would be proud of!
I didn’t waste a second feeling sorry for either of us. While I tried to encourage my xhusband Roy to be a father. He refused if I continued to follow through with the divorce. Kiersten was doing well and a very happy loving child. I myself had immedialtley applied to Nursing School and went and completed my LPN by 2001.
During that time my grandmother paid my house payment of $812.00/month. I worked and went to school full-time. As soon as I graduated with my LPN, I immediatley enrolled for my prerequsites for my Associates degree in Science. This would allow me to also achieve my RN. I did complete that as well in 2003. I was awarded a pell grant that covered all of my school. I took sincere advantage of it.
During the time between 2001-2003 prior to graduating with my RN. I met the most wonderful human being that ever existed as far as I am concerned. His name was Chris Williamson. After refusing to marry this man since the day I met him…even after I gave birth to his “2nd” child Alayna (oh..oops the exhusband Kiersten’s father)…he didn’t turn out to be much of a Dad… so Chris just stepped in where he left off. Sometimes I think he stayed with me just because of her…At the same time, he did speak kindly of her father. never degrading him to her. He said it was important that a little girl know her father loved her. He used to tell her she was lucky she had two! He gave me strength at times Oprah in regards to this. He was so genuine and such an honest hardworking man.
Chris and I married on June 25,2005. In front of our fireplace in the home he built for us and i designed. Our “dream house”. Or so it was then. Our lives were perfect or at least perfect to us.We had grown so much. We achieved all our dreams together. We found eachother. Had 3 awesome kids. We had managed to sell my home. Pay my grandmother back all three and a half years of those $815.00/month house payments. I achieved a career as an RN. opened a Home care agency. My husband a talented carpenter when we first met became a very successful Class A builder in the state of Virginia.
Life was going great. Then the economy fell. However, we still had eachother and our children. We were healthy and so were the kids. We would get through it….together. My husband cut and sold firewood when times were tough. Worked for $100.00 a day. Things we once paid people to do because we were to busy to accomplish not only did he do…he did with pride and no griping. He did anything it took to take care of myself and our children. He got up everyday at 5am (used to drive me nuts) At 440lbs and 6’4″ the whole house was up when Chris was up..lol
Oh my what a positive person he was. Very quick witted and my what a sense of humor. He was remebered by so many as hardworking,kind,generous, honest and I heard over and over how well mannered he was. i remind my childrfen of this often.
Since Chris’s death. Life for myself and my children has been one tradgedy after another. After being on life support for 24 hours on Mothers Day I had them disconnect it. He had been declared brain dead. He died of a brain anyresum. No symptoms. In his sleep. when I found him, he was still breathing. Shortly there after while on the phone with 911 he died for the first time. They arrived and revived him. transferred him to a small hospital where no doctor would come in to place a permanent airway so he could be transported. Therefore I reminded the local EMTs how much we had supported them in the past and begged them to transport him to a bigger hospital for treatment. They did! Without question. God Bless Front vRoyal Rescue! Awesome! He had been placed on life support by the time I arrived. Shortly thereafter he was given a catscan that showed the anyresum and they would try steroids through the night. However if he survived the night his prognosis would be bleek. The morning came. He still could not breath on his own. He went without sufficient oxygen too long.
There were a number of reasons to sue.I had lots of people ask me why I wasn’t. My concern was just getting my children through this. I knew what i was up against as a widow. Although I had no idea at the same time. I mean my god bein a widow at 21 with no children and barley any bills was a lot different than being all grown up with three kids and feeling so many aches for them almost every day has been hell just watching them without thier Dad.
So here we are..everything was going to be okay..right? Wrong! The power company was suppose to come through and pay me big money for an easement behind my house. They came through. I lost every dime and my home too. Bully banks.. long story! I hope I get to explain. Oh the banks I’m sure I could capture America’s attention. I still havent even been able to get into my husband’s saftey deposit box! Nightmare,nightmare.nightmare. Did I say nightmare!
Since his death my oldest Kiersten has had such a hard time, she has had to be hospitalized twice. Prior to hi is just crushed! She is very sweet but becoming bitter. Christopher..well he just yearns for a buddy so bad to go hunting and fishing with it’s terrible. Turns out all of daddy’s “friends” that were going to pick him up and do this and that with him..well they never show. Heck they don’t even call anymore. I just had a conference with his teacher…oh my the storied he makes up about the things his father and him used to do. he’s got quit an imagination. However he’s probaly the most stable one emotionally.
Then in December I had a horrible car wreck. Wrecking the only decent car I had left. You see while I was in the house combing a collage for my husbands funeral. A man that did work for my husband actually wrecked my 2001 for Excursion in the driveway, while he was using it after I said no to pull his truck out of a ditch he got stuck in! Of course he promised to fix it. Begged me not to report to insurance…etc..etc.. turned out he had no license or insurance. My luck only got got better. We even move dthe truck so my husbands close friends and our families at the time wouldnt act out of emotion. I just wanted to bury my husband in peace! Long story short..he never fixed my truck however he did steal the four wheel drive out of it. I just ran into him yesterday at the pharmacy. He came up behind me and gave me a hug. I turned around and realized who he was. I asked him why he would hug me after what he had done? He said when I hit the lottery I’ll buy you a truck and smiled. I asked him to look at what I was driving. It’s a 94 Rusted out blazer. It needs shocks,brakes,just a couple of things ..oh did I mention no a/c..it was 80 degrees yesterday! I worked very hard for my truck! It was paid for and it transported my family. I have struggled repeatdly because of my consideration of others..I thought to myself..However I said..when you hit the lottery Darren, i’m sure i’ll read about it! Dogs don’t change their spots and walked out. i’ve become very self reliant! My family nor chris’s family has helped any of us through this. If anything has caused us more hurt! With the exception of his biological father and his family we have been on our own.
Oprah..at this point after the accident in december when I broke my hip and pelvis and the only help i had were my children. Literally i was able to walk to and from the bathroom for 13 weeks. My children were my ONLY help with the exception of my friend Wendy who kept my children for the 3 weeks I was hospitalized following the accident.
Oprah I had filed bankruptcy prior to the accident. while I was in the hospital my home was foreclosed on however the Power line company bought it and has allowed me to rent until June. (due to my health) The bankruptcy trustee and his lawyer have been very compassionate in helping with this arrangement. I need help Oprah. Anything! I can’t work yet. I’m looking at places to rent but because of the death benefits i recieve i don’t qualify for any services from social services. I’ve looked into widowed orginizations..I’m apparently asking too late. I should have applied for assist anywhere from the day after up to only a year! given the fact i’ve been widowed twice..I can tell you this. It takes at least a year just to realize you are still very much alive and have to meet your needs. I had a great plan for a new place and a decent car and a trip to the beach. It was my 8000.00 tax return. Turns out the bankruptcy trustee gets that. The state of VA has no protection for EIC. That’s 97% of the return! Go figure! No luck….Here I go again!
Any help you could give i would be so grateful! I have watched your show since the 5th grade. I know how many miracles you have preformed. You are an angel. No doubt! If you can’t help me in anyway with meeting our needs. I realize you just did so much for all the people who recieved the vehicles. would it at least be possible to help me give my children a dream vacation? These 3 children 6,7 and 13 were my nurses for 3 months and all of them my good medicine since birth. We all know laughter is the best medicine! My children and I need to laugh without worry of Mommy’s stress!
Thank You Oprah For taking the time to read this. I am exhausted. Time to go to bed.For myself and the friends computer I’m using to write this..lol..excuse all the typos.. I just saw the site and decided to write..Even if you can’t help..It’s been good medicine for me. Maybe someone else can just read it and realize that they are not alone! My wish for the future is that one day i can have a foundation taht truly helps young widows without time restraints..You can’t put a time limit on grief!
Sleeping is the only time I am am worry free. I am trying to come up with money to rent a new home, figure out how to get a decent car, paying for my meds and kids needs, i qualify for nothing due to the kids SSI!
Thank You Oprah,
Melissa
I would be happy if I was there .. let alone a car, a motorcycle that will be very valuable for a better life.
but unfortunately .. I just found out the news ..
Hello Ophra,
I have been living without a car for three years, except our grocery, hospital visits, most of time I am at this little apartment. we have been struggling ever since 2008, my husband never found a job just to pay our apartmen and utility. we have a six-year old adughter who had congenial heart condition, went through four open heart surgeries and numerous engioplasties addition to those. I was diagnosed as hypo-thyraid after almost living at a hospital with two hours of sleep a day for two years. I was too scre to sleep, feared that my daughter would pass away if I fall a sleep. My messed metabolism affects everyday activities. Our lives has been going down spiral ever since my daughter was born. My daughter is my life and I know that she is lightening my life and keeps me going on today and tomorrow. So, I started to take an accounting course online for her, I wanted to be a mom who can be financially reliable, not just a worrying, weeping mom. My daughter still pukes at school, then I go to her school to pick her up on foot. unfortunately where we live is not that friendly-well mannered area, it scares me to death to cross the street holding my sick daughter in my arm. It breaks my heart when I had to say “No,,” to her asking for a playdate at her friends’. I fear for my daughter would take it as natural thing that her parents takes any help from the people around us like all the time and never return the kindness to he world, I am despearte to change our lives, this horrible way of life, having to put our grocery on our credit card, most of the call we get is from debt-collectors. seriously, our spending o credit card is gas and grocery, that accumulated so much, haunting, we just feel that we hit the bottom of the bottom and still there is no turn-around, my husband just doesn’t have any luck with job hunting, it is becoming a chronical, feeling helpless. we are afraid to see a paediatrion for my daughter because of the co-pay $25. I wish I had a car to do something, even it will be $7 an hour, maybe I caouls do something…
Thank you so much for reading this pathetic story,
looking for a light

Hello!! Oprah My name is Patricia and I live in Texas; hottest weather place on record . LOL!! I watch you and enjoy your topics. I am a stay at home wife at this time. I lost my job and my new car due to a motorcycle wreck involving my husband and me last year. We were both injured; Thank God we were not killed. But due to all that ; the other driver was an unlicensed , uninsured 16 year old teenager.. He was driving supposedly his parents truck without permission. He had four other teenagers with him at the time. He came straight at us in our lane headon. His truck started fishtailing at us and flipped; rolled in front of us. We somehow got out of the way of the flying rolling truck that was coming at us; but we flipped the motorcyle. I flipped upside down on the highway and into the ditch. They told me it was good that I was wearing a helmet or I would have been gone. There was a chunk of my helmet on top missing, but I did pop my neck out of place. They popped it back at hospital. I had lacerations on my arm, hand, and knee; that had to have stitches. I had to have knee surgery and therapy; mine was popped out of place. My husband had to have knee therapy and stitches to his elbow.But he didnt get to have his knee surgery done; so his knee is still in bad condition. We were both out of work for a while because of it. The driver of the truck and his parents would not pay for anything or their insurance. So then on top of everything; we still have medical bills we can’t pay. My husband went back to work and didnt get to do his knee surgery or he would have lost his job to. I lost my job and everything. Now we are just getting by. I have no vehicle to look for work.Our house needs work and falling down around us; but I suppose I am not living on the street so thats good; at least. Bills piling up and no where to turn. We cannot afford another vehicle right now on one paycheck. The economy plays a big part of that to.I had a great paying job to; now thats gone. We could really use a new vehicle to find work.A Reliable transportation. Bill collectors bug me to death. Don’t know where to turn anymore. Thanks for listening. God Bless you Oprah!

Hi oprah, my name is phuong I am 23 yrs old out of boston ma a grateful single mother of two grls. And i try to give them the best of what i never had . I came from a rough family family growing up, the blacksheep of the family i should say.sometimes i wished they would aprecciate the things i do for once but never one time they even recognize. I tried my best to make them happy but somehow i am always a dissapppointment to them and i seem to never do anything right by them. Now since i work full time but only get paid under commission and juggling with 2 kids is very hard for me i cant seem to make enough to support our needs but in da back of my mind i still cannot get over the fact why my family hates me so much. I just wish they would just support me in things and not neglect me when i need them by my side. I have been promised so many times that if i would do good and obey i would get the finer things in life but that is not the case because when it comes to that time it is either they forgot or they said i made it all up . I know that deep down in my heart you are a truly great person and i would loved it if you reached out to me and tell me everything would be ok. I am not the type to ask for things i just want my family to love me but deep down i know they dont and it tears me apart.sometimes its hard for me to get out of bed and get ready for a new day because i feel that i am trapped and cannot be let out ..i am glad i got to speak my mind because i feel no one would ever understand me and i hope you do and it would be something special to me if i would recieve an email back . Thank you for taking the time and hearing my feelings <3 your biggest fan
