I'm sure her audience of entitlement were just falling over themselves over that frozen macaroni and cheese.

The video on D-Listed:

It reminded me so much of Maya Rudolph's parody of Oprah on SNL.

A sobering thought is that they will all have to pay taxes on the gifts. It happened when they gave away new cars and some people got pissed off when they found out .

Good point, Mr. Roxy. I don't think I'd want to have to do that. I guess you'd have to sell some of it off just to pay the taxes! Does anyone remember what the Mac and cheese brand was? I never eat it because it's so fattening, but I do love it so.

Keep the Mac & Cheese & sell the rest.Speaking of M/C, Brooklyn Diner in NYC has M/C you would sell a right arm for. It can best be described as a Harry Met Sally moment

It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

I thought Oprah started paying taxes on Favorite Things since the car incident, but I could be wrong.
As to the audience, don't forget that for the last few years, it's been a select audience chosen for the show. They kept referring to this audience as some of her "ultimate viewers" who were givers of some sort. (They didn't really get into it this year.)
My faves were the cruise (is that the one that will be doing a full production of CHICAGO?) and the brownie pan. I like edges.

She's going all out with this final, final giveaway.
I admit to loving it.

I can't speak for THIS particular episode, but I went to a taping of The View last year. While waiting in line, each person had to fill in paperwork that stated something about taxes....something about if the merchandise you "might" get was over a certain amount that you were indeed responsible for the taxes.
I remmember someone in line mentioning something about "this form" meaning it would be under the amount, because if it WERE over, we'd get a different form. AND if they weren't giving away anything, there would be no form.
We got a lot of stuff, mostly beauty products (some that I just LOVED) maybe about 300 dollars worth of stuff.
And I'm pretty sure, most humans would be pretty excited to be in the audience for those episodes.

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
