I know, really! It’s like finding out pro wrestling is fake, LOL.

I stand corrected! LOL!

I doubt that Oprah gave all those gifts to the audience out of her pocket. Same with Ellen when she gives monitary gifts to people. It’s not from her pocket.

I remember an Oprah Winfrey Show several years ago is which she ‘gave away’ Pontiacs.
Studio audience went wild.
Actually Pontiac Motors gave them away as a publicity stunt to advertise one of their cars, G3, G4,G5?

Most of the folks got a rude awakening when they found out they had to pay the tax and other expenses related to the gift. Many were p!$$ed off.
Dear Oprah didn’t even pay the incidentals.
Yet she gets the credit for the give away.

So, every time my boss said "I'm giving you a raise" it wasn't actually coming to me out of his paycheck... it was coming from the company instead?

I'm shattered to consider this as a prospect!

"... I don’t personally know how TV shows work."

Perhaps I was a bit harsh, and hasty in my petulant glibness. I get that way when I'm off my meds. I do apologize.

Thanks.
