UPDATED: Oprah's Favorite Things: The final chapter

video

I was devastated in 2008 when Oprah replaced the traditional Favorite Things giveaway with a recession-friendly version of the show.  Last year, the talk show host opted against airing the special altogether.  The holiday season did not seem complete without it.

This afternoon and continuing on Monday, Oprah redeems herself with a special two-part final edition of Oprah's Favorite Things.  The double episode is being heralded as the BIGGEST in Oprah show history, and I can hardly wait.  All will be set right in the world.

In honor of the final Favorite Things show, I am posting Saturday Night Live's Oprah giveaway.

UPDATE: Oprah gave away tens of thousands of dollars worth of stuff, including a cruise, diamons, and car.  Below are the various reactions from the audience.
