On Tuesday night, the annual Kennedy Center Honors were held to celebrate some of the biggest names in entertainment and media, including the one and only Oprah Winfrey.

The Queen Of Talk's longtime friends and colleagues John Travolta and Barbara Walters came on stage to honor her, but also used the time to complain a bit about how much she's used them both over the years. This humorous vibe continued until Travolta and Walters turned to a fake "Oprah" studio audience and picked on comedian Chris Rock to say a few words.

Rock opened up with a few jokes about the first couple, saying how great it was to be staring at "the most powerful person in the world, and then next to her, Barack Obama."

But he soon got to the good stuff: a game he likes to play called "Oprah's So Rich." He encouraged he audience to ask, "How rich is she?" before giving a few hilarious examples. For example,

"China owes her money!"
