If you watch my show, you know I like
to surprise viewers at home with a game
called, Cash at your Door.
And today, I'm shaking things up by sending the only magician
in the world with a Super Bowl ring.
It's time to play Cash at your Dorenbos.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
We sent Jon to Philadelphia to surprise some deserving fans.
Let's check in with Jon now.
Hi Jon!
Hey, we are here and we are ready to go.
All right.
So Jon, you played for the Eagles for 11 years.
How does it feel to be back in Philly?
Oh, it's amazing.
I'm back in the city of world champions.
It's awesome.
The City of Brotherly Love, Ellen.
That's right.
City of Brotherly Love, is right.
And who are we surprising today?
Aisha Smith is the most amazing single mother
you could possibly imagine.
Working multiple jobs to get her daughter through college.
We are here.
She is at home with her five closest friends,
and they are huge fans of yours.
All right.
I'm going to call.
And then I'm going to tell her somebody is at her door,
and it is going to be you.
And let's hope she answers this phone.
[PHONE RINGS]
Aisha speaking.
Oh hi, Aisha.
This is Fanny Feefer and I'm with Dream Prize's
International, and you won a grand prize sweepstakes winner.
All you need to do is give me your credit card
number, social security number, and bank account number.
And you can trust me because my name is Ellen DeGeneres.
[SCREAMING] Oh my god.
Oh my god, it's Ellen on the phone.
Aisha!
Yes.
Aisha, somebody is at your door, I hear somebody knocking.
[KNOCKING]
Hey, what's up!
You guys are all on Ellen right now!
Let's all back up.
Come here.
Let's all back up right here.
Everybody say hi to Ellen.
Hi Ellen!
Hi Aisha!
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
We are here and we giving you a chance
to play Cash at your Dorenbos, and guess what.
Everybody, say hi to Ellen.
OK.
Y'all just let a stranger into your house.
Hopefully, you know Jon Dorenbos and that he's safe in there.
So you are with your friends, and you've
been friends for over 30 years, right?
Yes.
Yes, we have.
Tell us-- tell me what these women mean to you.
Ellen, this is Jeanne.
She used to watch me when I was a baby, that's how long
we all been friends.
Aisha, I heard that you rented--
I'm about to faint.
I heard you rented an Airbnb in September, tell me that story.
Yes, I have an Air Bnb already booked.
It is for September 3rd through the 7th.
It's in Glendale, California.
And the reason why I booked it was because I know that's
when you start your season 16 taping which
is usually the day--
I'm sorry-- the day after Labor Day.
So I know you guys have a special number.
I already looked at the website.
And if we visit the city, if I call you guys,
there's a chance I get stand-by tickets.
And that's it, I'm just going for it.
The Air Bnb, it's been paid for.
I'm so excited.
All right.
So, you're all set.
You have an Airbnb, just hoping you're going to get tickets.
Let's see how you do with this game,
let's hope you get some tickets.
All right?
OK.
Jon, tell them how to play the game.
All right, this is easy.
And as you guys know, it's called Cash at your Dorenbos.
You're probably familiar.
I've got some questions.
You get $1,000 for every question you get right.
You can win up to $10,000.
[SCREAMING]
No, hold on, hold on.
But if you get it wrong, it goes to zero, you lose everything.
OK?
So here's the deal.
We're going to start easy.
Question number one, it's your first $1,000 question.
What city is known as the City of Brotherly Love?
Philadelphia!
That's $1000 Ellen.
[CHIME]
Aisha, number two.
You are a huge Eagles fan.
During the Super Bowl, quarterback Nick Foles
executed one of the best plays in football history
called the Philly special.
All we need you to do is tell us why you think Ellen is special?
Oh my gosh, let me tell you right?
I was pregnant at the age of 17.
My daughter was born May 23, 1997.
You put a-- you was on the front of "Time Magazine".
I think it was April '97, or maybe in March '97.
And the front of the magazine said, yep, I'm gay.
And let me tell you, I was so embarrassed
to be pregnant in high school.
But when I read that cover, and when I read that magazine
and read your article, I was able to embrace myself
more often, and I really didn't care what
nobody had to say about me.
It didn't matter at all.
You encouraged me to embrace myself and not be ashamed.
And you know what?
Ellen inspiring you to be the best you can be, that's worth
another $1000.
[CHIME]
All right, number three for another $1000.
Bye, au revoir, ciao, see you later,
adios, are all great ways to say goodbye.
But what does Ellen say at the end of every episode?
Be kind to one another.
One more time.
Be kind to one another.
That's it.
That's another $1000!
[CHIME]
All right.
This is going to be tough.
The Philadelphia Museum of Art is the home
to the famous "Rocky" steps.
Can you guys hum the theme to "Rocky", while shadowboxing?
Go!
[SINGING]
All right!
That's another $1000.
[CHIME]
All right, Aisha this is for you.
Your celebrity crush is Will Smith, yes or no?
Yes, it is.
You better believe it.
What side of Philadelphia was the Fresh Prince of Bel Air
born on?
North, south, east, or west?
West, baby!
West Philadelphia, born and raised.
[CHIME]
That's another $1000.
All right, hold on, how on, here we go.
All right, hold on one second.
Jon, hold on.
So that's $5000 so far, we're going
to give you another chance to win some more money.
But we have to take a break, OK?
We'll take a break, and then you can just gather your thoughts,
have a sip of water, we'll be back.
We're back with Jon Dorenbos and Aisha and her friends
in Philadelphia.
So far you've won $5000, but we have a challenge for you.
Jon, tell them what the challenge is.
All right, so I'm a magician and I love the Queen of Hearts.
And Ellen is all of our Queen of Hearts.
I hid a Queen of Hearts in this room.
If you can find it in 30 seconds,
we're going to make more cash magically appear.
On your mark, get set, go.
Find that Queen of Hearts, it's around here somewhere, guys.
Find it.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Oh, Ellen, we had a false alarm.
We thought we found it.
You know, maybe it's in here, I don't know.
It might not be, though.
Yeah, maybe not.
10 seconds.
Five, four-- two, one.
[BUZZER]
All right, hold on guys, time up.
Here, come here.
Everybody we've got to gather up right here.
All right.
Here's the deal.
We came up just shy.
And you know what?
I hid the Queen of Hearts in a unique place.
Aisha, it's where you would never look.
It was behind your ear the whole time.
Ellen, it was behind her ear the whole time.
Who knew?
Aisha, you had it in your hair the whole time.
How did that happen?
All right, well the game is over.
So that's the game, it's called Cash in your Dorenbos.
And by the way, before I keep going with this,
you're for sure coming to our show when you have your Airbnb.
You have tickets to come to the show.
You are my guest.
[SCREAMING]
And our friends at Shutterfly want to celebrate this moment.
And they know you can use a little extra cash.
So they're going to round up your winnings to $60,000.
[SCREAMING]
Hi, I'm Andy.
Ellen asked me to remind you to subscribe to her channel
so you can see more awesome videos.
Like videos of me getting scared or saying embarrassing things.
Like ball peen hammer.
And also some videos of Ellen and other celebrities.
If you're into that sort of thing.
[YELL]
[MUTED] God [MUTED].
