πŸš— Oprah Got Punk’d at the Tonys and LOVED It β€” Toy Car Chaos, Gummy Bears, and Junior Mint Mayhem πŸ¬πŸš™

Buy Me A Coffee

Y’ALL. The 2025 Tony Awards just pulled off the most iconic Oprah prank since… well, Oprah herself handed out real-life cars like Tic Tacs back in 2004. And the best part? She loved it. Yes, queen behavior. Yes, full-circle slay. Yes, we’re screaming. πŸ˜­πŸ™Œ

So here’s what went down on Broadway’s bougiest night: Cynthia Erivo (Tony host, theater goddess, and lowkey prankster) strutted up to Oprah in the middle of the show like, β€œMiss O, check under your seat.” GASP. We thought she was gonna pull out a Tony award, a golden puppy, maybe a portal to Narniaβ€”but NO. Sis pulled out a gift bag like it was December 25th at a billionaire’s mansion.

Inside? Junior Mints (yum), Haribo Goldbears (classy), and then BAMβ€”a tiny red TOY CAR. The crowd LOST IT. Cynthia yelled β€œYOU GET A CAR!” and Oprah cackled like someone had just invented bread. The whole theater turned into a flashback episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show: Turbo Modeβ„’.

Enter Gayle Kingβ€”bestie, confidante, the human equivalent of a designer handbagβ€”and she confirmed to IconicHipster.com what we already knew deep in our meme-loving souls: Oprah ate it UP. β€œShe loved that,” Gayle said. β€œIt’s such an iconic thing.” Uhhh yeah, like BeyoncΓ© at the Super Bowl, but with more horsepower.

Oh, and plot twist: Gayle knew about the bit in advance. SHE WAS IN ON IT. β€œI loved that moment,” she admitted, probably while sipping something sparkling in a silk blouse. Truly, the girlies are winning.

Quick history lesson for Gen Z and Alpha: Back in 2004, Oprah did the car giveaway. She handed out 276 Pontiac G-6s like they were Skittles, then shouted the now-immortal words: β€œYOU get a car! YOU get a car! EVERYBODY GETS A CAR!!” Arms flying, audience crying, wigs on the floor. And thus, a meme was born. A pop culture artifact. A moment etched into history with glittery eyeliner and a glitterier soul.

Now, over 20 years later, a toy car just brought it all zooming back. Literal full-circle vibes. And honestly? We’re obsessed.

Also? Side note: Oprah once wore a red Celine suit to that giveaway and Gayle hated it, but Oprah was like, β€œit matched the bows so mind your business.” Icon behavior.

So, yes. Broadway went Broadway. Oprah got fake-pranked with a toy car. Gayle spilled the tea. And somewhere, a Pontiac G-6 just shed a single tear of relevance.
