Every day I come out from behind those doors
and I'm greeted by the best audience in the world.
I try to wave to each and every one of you and say hello.
Apparently I miss someone the other day.
Taya Abram, where are you?
Come on down here.
[APPLAUSE]
Hi, Taya.
Hi, Ellen.
I heard you told someone that I waved to a lot of people,
and then stopped at your section.
I didn't wave to you.
You totally missed me.
I was sitting over there.
She didn't-- you didn't look at me.
Well, look.
Hi, Ellen.
Hi.
All right, go back to your seat.
Thank you.
No.
That was enough for me, I wasn't--
No, I understand you can use a little bit of help
around the holidays.
And your birthday is coming up around Christmas,
and I thought we can help each other out.
Because I need help too.
OK.
All right, so since I waved back to you, and I thought maybe
you wouldn't mind running around and doing an errand for me.
OK?
OK.
All right, I need you to pick up a few things for myself
this holiday with the Sam's Club.
It's a new scan and go app and shopping could not be easier.
It allows you to scan your items as you shop and bypass
the checkout line.
So tomorrow I'm going to send you to Sam's Club
and you have to do the scan and go challenge.
OK.
Are you up for that?
I'm totally up for it.
You wear some shoes that you can run in, like wear some tennis
shoes or something so you can-- because you're going to be
running around and doing--
OK?
OK.
Good, I'm going to see you tomorrow, then.
All right.
I love everything about shopping for the holidays
except for the shopping part, but Sam's Club
is making it a little easier with scan and go.
Yesterday I met Taya Abram, and she agreed to run to Sam's Club
to do some of my holiday shopping.
She's going to use the Sam's Club
app because it lets you scan your items, and as you shop
and then you skip the checkout line,
which means the sooner you get out of the store,
and the sooner you can start snacking
on that 48 pack of sugar cookies that you're buying.
But what Taya doesn't know is that if she
can complete the scan and go challenge,
I'm going to give her $25,000.
[APPLAUSE]
Taya's at Sam's Club now.
Hello Taya.
Hi Taya, how are you?
[SQUEALING]
Hi, Ellen, I'm doing great!
Taya, I can't believe you're so excited to shop for me,
but it's going to be easy with a scan and go app,
so that's great.
I have a whole bunch of stuff that I need.
Did-- Jeannie, did you show her the list?
We've got the list!
All right, great.
And you have the app and you have your running shoes on.
You've got to get everything into the cart before--
OK.
You got to everything into the cart before time runs out.
OK?
And don't forget that you have to use the scan--
to scan the item on the app.
Ready?
I've got it.
I'm ready.
I'm ready, Ellen.
Do it, Taya, go.
OK, go!
AirPods-- Apple AirPods.
Which?
Where is it?
Oh here it is.
Ready like this.
Ready?
Go!
Scan.
You got it!
Got it!
Got it.

Got the AirPods.
All right.
Apple AirPods.
Right here.
We're taking the whole tree.
Are you going to get-- oh, you're going to get a tree?
All right, seven-foot tree.
Right here.
Scan it.
Ready?
All right.
Put it in.
Next up, Ellen we got Ghirardelli Gift Basket.
Let's go!

Where is it?
Oh, boy.

One last thing.
I got it!
You see it?
I got it.
[SQUEALING]
All right.
[SCREAMING]
Oh my gosh.
I'm out of breath.
Taya, that was fantastic.
All right, Taya, all you have to do is open the Roomba box.
See what's in there.
Make sure, because sometimes there's--
OK ready?
Here come here.
OK.
Open it up.
Oh my God!
It's $25,000.
[CHEERING]
That's your Christmas present.
Happy holidays, Taya.
Oh, my God!
