I want to give a huge thank you to Hyundai.
They have never danced for me, but I partnered with Hyundai
for the last two seasons, to reward some incredible people.
Let me tell you, giving away cars
is the most fun I've ever had, since I did jello shots off
of David Beckham's belly.
That's another story though.
Together with Hyundai we changed a lot of lives.
Take a look.
All month long I'm partnering with Hyundai
to celebrate our incredible front line workers.
We're calling it Ellen's Hyundai Fun Days.
Hello?
Hi, Shirley?
Yeah, this is Shirley.
Hey, Shirley.
It's Ellen DeGeneres.
How are you doing?
[screaming]
Shirley, I just wanted to meet you because you're incredible.
Thank you for your service.
Thank you for what you do.
Here's how amazing she is and why she's here.
Lived in Texas, heard that New York was hit really, really
hard when the pandemic started.
And decided to go to New York and help out there.
And leave her daughter.
That is not easy.
No, it's not.
So I have a gift for the family.
OK.
Oh, thank you.
What is that?
So it's $15,000.
Oh, my God.
Since you've been dedicating your life
to supporting communities in need and helping save lives,
Hyundai wants to say thank you.
Oh, thank you!
After learning his students couldn't afford haircuts,
a kindergarten teacher in DC was inspired to treat his school.
You do so many things.
You walk the students home, constantly pay out
of your pocket, which so many teachers do.
Instead of fixing your car, you opened a foundation
to help your students.
Yeah, I mean, I didn't realize how big--
or how much a nonprofit really cost.
Well, I am partnering with Hyundai
to celebrate people who make life better
for their communities and--
Don't do that.
They want to make your life even better
with a new Hyundai Sonata.
Shut up.
Look in the trunk.
I want to give your foundation $20,000.
Oh, my God.
Hi Ellen.
My name is Shenelle Jones.
I'm a single mom.
Shenelle, come on down.
You're here on the day that Usher is here.
I know you're a huge Usher fan too.
Yes, I love him.
Isn't that a coincidence--
Yes.
--that you're here on that day?
Any obstacle he had in his life, he's
always tried to make it more positive,
and just spread the love like you spread it.
I just love him so much.
Oh, my God!
My friends at Hyundai love everything
that you're doing to make life better
for you and your daughter.
They want to offer you a full-time job
at your local dealership.
So they're giving you a job.
And Hyundai believes in you so much--
And--
--that they want to give you a starting bonus of $20,000.
Oh, my!
Oh!
You are going to love this car.
The Hyundai Sonata.
What!
Hey, Ron!
This is your new Hyundai Sonata.
I want this car.
Would you think I was lying if I told
you there's a new car outside and I wanted to give it to you?
Say it's all right.
No way!
Oh, my god!
Surprise!
Oh, my!
So never give it up, never fall away from [INAUDIBLE]..
No, no!
Hi [INAUDIBLE]
Oh, my god Ellen.
No, no, it's Average Andy.
Oh, my god.
We know that you and your husband are sharing one car.
So I'm partnered with Hyundai and they want
to thank you for your service.
And they want to give you this Hyundai Palisade.
Oh, my god.
This is now your car.
No more Ubers for you.
Oh, my god, thank you.
All month long I'm partnering with Hyundai
to celebrate our incredible front line workers.
We're calling it Ellen's Hyundai Fun Days.
And the work that both of you do to support your community
has never been more important.
And Hyundai wants to say thank you with this.
Be over till we say it's over.
The sky's enough to shine light for you.
So never give it up, never fall away.
That is Hyundai giving you $50,000, as well as
that beautiful car.
Thank you Hyundai.
We'll be back.
