COOPER: Here's your "Buzz." Up to 300,000 of you voted. We appreciate your votes. Tonight: Taking the freebie to "The Nth Degree." There's nothing about ingratiating yourself by handing out a freebie -- you know, a freebie, a nice little gift, a keychain with a whistle attached, a ballpoint pen, a T-shirt, maybe a plastic change purse or a rain bonnet. As we say, it's the oldest trick in the book. Not, however, on this scale. On the occasion of the beginning of her 19th season, Oprah Winfrey gave every audience member present at that milestone taping a car, an actual new, full-size, six-cylinder automobile with an engine and seats and a roof and everything. Tires, too. Talk about freebie inflation. And hey, Oprah, thanks for making all the rest of us on television look like pikers. I guess we know what we can do with our tote bags and our laminated posters now. Pity poor Ellen DeGeneres. What's she going to give her audience, houses in the Hamptons, Learjets, Harry Winston necklaces? ...is really hard when the Joneses are Oprah. Anyway, we're not that impressed. You buy that many cars, you probably get a volume discount. I'm Anderson Cooper. Thanks for watching. Coming up next, "PAULA ZAHN NOW."
