[APPLAUSE] >> Over 12 million of you have
seen this little boy saying good bye to his grandma.

without saying I love you every single day.
So we did a little digging and found a couple of things out about this family.
They run a food pantry that has provided 4 million meals to needy families.
They're huge fans of the show and they're been trying to get tickets for
a couple years.
So I thought it was a perfect time to play Jeannie, May I.
[MUSIC]
>> [APPLAUSE] >> All
month long we've been sending Jeannie across the country to surprise fans.
Jeannie are you there?
>> Yes, Ellen, Ellen, okay,
I am here in front of Zoya's house in very very hot Allen, Texas.
Now, that cutie patootey that we just saw in the video is her son Amari, and
her mother-in-law Cheryl is his grandma.
Cheryl, Ellen, has been trying for forever to get tickets to the show for Zoya.
They are such humongous fans of you.
>> All right well good.
I'm not gonna call her Skype, because they're gotta figure it out,
because they're fans of the show.
So we're just gonna knock on the door, hope somebody's home, and
we'll surprise them.
>> Not this door, but the next one.
Here we go.
>> Run as fast as you can.
Faster.
Run as fast as you can. >> [LAUGH]
>> Hello anyone home?
>> [LAUGH] >> That sounds good at your door.
>> [LAUGH] >> [APPLAUSE]
>> Everybody get out!
Hello! [INAUDIBLE]
>> Ellen's here,
Ellen's here, Ellen is here!
>> Hi.
>> [INAUDIBLE] >> Hi Cheryl, hi Zoelle.
>> Look who it is!
>> Hi.
What's happening?
I just wanted to surprise you.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> What?
My god.
It's Ellen. >> I just wanted to say hello.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Hi everybody.
>> It's Ellen.
>> Omari, I think Omari's being held in a strange way.
I'm not sure.
I don't have a child, but I don't [LAUGH] Okay, okay, whatever.
Okay, somebody.
>> [LAUGH] >> [LAUGH] Jeannie,
why don't you hold the child?
>> [LAUGH] >> Sorry, sorry.
>> I.
>> [LAUGH] >> She's going back in.
>> [LAUGH] >> Zoya, Zoya,
tell Amari it's Auntie Ellen here.
>> [CROSSTALK] >> It's Auntie Ellen.
So, Zoya, I was told there, hi sweetheart.
There are two things you want in life.
Tell us what they are.
>> My god first of all I need to come meet you like I just want you don't even have
to look at me talk to me or anything.
I just need to see you.
[LAUGH] And then of course a little girl that you can't help me with but you.
[LAUGH] >> I don't know,
I have access to a lot of things here.
But- >> [LAUGH]
>> So I'll give you tickets and
a trip here.
All you have to say is, Jeanie, may I go see Ellen?
>> Jeanie, may I got see Ellen?
>> [LAUGH] >> As long as you said Jeanie there, yes.
>> [SOUND] [APPLAUSE]
>> All right, we'll be right back.
We just surprised Zoya and Sheryl.
Sheryl, I want to talk to you about the food pantry that you run and
Zoya you work there as well, right?
>> Yes.
Yes.
>> Yes we do.
Yes we do.
>> It's amazing.
You've served over 300,000 families in your area.
And I was told that you have a cardboard cutout of me at the pantry?
>> [LAUGH] >> Yes.
>> Yes, yes, yes.
Ellen it's because you dance, you have fun, and you tell everybody to be kind.
So we figured if someone needed a meal,
we should treat them like Ellen want us to treat them.
>> Yeah, we don't wanna just feed them food.
We wanna give everything, like feed them spiritually with the kindness and
the love that you do to everybody that watches you!
>> But we have the music on Ellen!
And we're dancing with your cardboard!
>> [LAUGH] [APPLAUSE] >> And our sign say we wish you were here.
>> First of all stop the >> [LAUGH]
>> You're dancing with my card board,
I love that, that's hilarious.
That video is the most adorable video of you and
Omari saying I love you to each other before you leave.
It really made me- >> Can you say, hi Auntie Ellen?
>> Say, hi Auntie Ellen.
>> Say it.
Say, hi Auntie Ellen. >> Hi Auntie Ellen.
>> Aw.
>> All right, so here's what we want to do.
I just love what you're doing.
I just love your spirit so I just decided to that we want to give you
$10,000 to help out your many school projects, okay.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> I want to thank Wanda journey.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Be kind to one another.
I'll see you all soon.
See you here.
