TikToker Candi Davis says the talk show legend kicked off her shoes and had a 'powerful' conversation with the grateful audience after suprising them all with Volkswagen Beetles.

Oprah Winfrey was well known for her giveaway "Favorite Things" episodes on her 1986-2011 TV show, especially the time each audience member got a car.

But unless you were in the audience for one of those shows, you probably don't know what actually goes on when the cameras are off.


Recently TikToker Candi Davis—@alwayscandid—talked about what went down when the cameras were off during one of those iconic episodes.

Davis was in the audience in November 2010 when Winfrey gifted everyone Volkswagen Beetles during the last "Favorite Things" episode in its original format.

While the lawyers ironed out the details of paying all the taxes on the vehicles, Davis said Winfrey sat down at the edge of the stage to have a conversation with the audience.

"She said, 'I know you don't feel like you deserve any of this stuff, and you don't—none of you deserve it. But you are worthy of it, and I want you to remember that'."
