The Real Story Behind Oprah Winfrey’s Most Famous Giveaway: "You Get a Car!" | Pop Cultured | PEOPLE

Oprah Winfrey is known for gifting her Favorite Things, but on September 13, 2004 the talk show host put on a bright red suit and aired perhaps her most iconic episode ever: the one where she gave everyone in her studio audience a brand new car! It's the source of decades of spoofs from SNL to Jimmy Kimmel Live! and the most-used Oprah GIF on the Internet, but did you know her best friend Gayle King was actually an integral part of the Pontiac giveaway?

Find out the full, amazing backstory and the painstaking behind-the-scenes details (down to the size and color of the bows!) straight from the source with Oprah, Gayle, PEOPLE editors who dug deep into the history, and hilarious comedians like Margaret Cho, Joel Kim Booster, Annie Lederman, Sudi Green, Dewayne Perkins, Alaska and more.
