Ellen’s Recent Surprises

This past week Ellen DeGeneres surprise the world while interviewing James Shaw Jr., the young man that stepped up and stopped the Nashville Waffle House shooter from taking more lives a few weeks ago; during the interview Ellen brought onto the set Shaw’s favorite NBA player, Dwyane Wade.

What are a few other Ellen Surprises over the years?

Last year Ellen surprised an teach by the name of Ekhlas Ahmed, a refugee from Sudan, with a check that paid off her student loans. In 2017, Ellen worked with Walmart giving 42 students from the Brooklyn Summit Academy charter school four-year scholarships.

Still fresh in the families mind, Ellen surprised a Pennsylvania family in need with a $200,000 check. She’s surprised Mason Ramsey, an 11 year old whose yodeling in Walmart went viral. Ellen put the WOW on the child with a $15,000 scholarship and an invitation to perform at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville.
