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

Tag -- don't forget the 3D glasses to go with the TV.

Kal -- the Mac & Cheese looked pretty good actually.

The video on D-Listed:

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

The comments that followed the video were beyond hysterical. Dolly D took the words right out of my mouth.

AND she's doing this all again on Monday's show. A second day of her favourite things.

I wonder what the weight loss book will say about the mac & cheese, panini press, and brownie/lasagna pan . . .

mauriposa you just made my day :) excellent point

in todays economy, it seems a little excessive to give one person all that. spread the love around alittle.

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

Ellen pays for the taxes on her gifts.

First of all, I love that she starts this sh*t by going on about meditation and spirituality and then....BRING ON THE MATERIALISM!!!!

I also kept waiting for a creepy old guy to pop his head out of the crowd with a double-ended dildo requesting "ass to ass".

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.

(though the audience reactions are hilarious and priceless...)

I forgot to tape it. I could have used a good laugh.

Oh, it was a good one.

Although my favorite audience member was the guy from Friday who jumped up and then kind of fell down...

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.
