Back in 2004, Oprah Winfrey gave a car to every member of her studio audience in a moment that went down in television history. Each person went home with a Pontiac G6 all because Gayle King did something she wasn't supposed to do. King explained during an episode of People's "Pop Cultured" in January that, at the time, she was not allowed to bring up business with Oprah, specifically ideas for her show. King recalled, "She said, 'I have a whole team that does this. I get this all day long. I really don't want to get it from you.'" But King admitted, "There are still times that I just can't help it, which is what happened with the cars."

It all started when King "was at an airport, minding [her] own business," and was approached by a man who told her, "We're really interested in giving a car to the show." Although King was not initially impressed by the idea, he persisted. "He said, 'No, no, we're interested in giving a car to everyone in the audience." King noted that got a reaction from her, adding, "At that point, I put down my suitcase and went, 'What did you say?'"

Revealing that he'd had no luck getting in touch with Oprah's team, King assured the man that she would make the connection. She noted, "I couldn't get to the phone fast enough." From there, TV history was in the making!
