Plus check out the crowd reaction! Only Oprah needs paramedics on set for her show. Among the giveaways worth thousands of dollars, audience members got to walk away with Jay-Z’s “Decoded,” a closet system from the Container Store, five years of Netflix, $525 Judith Ripka Eclipse earrings, Kyocera ceramic cutlery, Lafco House candle set, $2,500 25th Anniversary “Oprah” watch by Philip Stein, and Ralph Lauren cashmere sweaters and blankets.
