Another thing my viewers have been sending me
are submissions for our bubly Skybox challenge.
I asked my viewers to submit a video of themselves
making a stranger smile for a chance
to sit in our bubly Skybox.
We got a lot of great submissions,
including one from Meagan Kouns from Arlington, Texas.
We showed Meagan's video on the show a few weeks ago,
and here's what happened when she saw it.
I'm shaking.
I'm freaking out because my video is on Ellen.
I can't believe that she actually saw it.
I'm so excited.
Brooklyn!
[CHILD SCREAMING]
That's us!
Just for you.
It's a little something--
Oh my gosh!
--I bought for you, and I--
I'm so excited!
[INAUDIBLE] It's a $10.00 gift--
Hey, Meagan.
Come on down.
[APPLAUSE]
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Hi.
Hey, Meagan.
Hi.
I thought that was really sweet.
You did something nice for nurses.
Thank you.
Yes, that was great.
And you watch the show every day with your kids?
I do watch every day.
We have a routine.
It's our dinner routine, so my kids definitely run the house.
I let them watch whatever they want, but when dinner's done,
and we sit down, we watch Ellen.
And they know.
They ask too.
They'll be like, oh, it's time for Ellen.
Right, because you make them.
[GIGGLES]
Yes.
They like you.
They recognize you.
They love tWitch.
Oh, oh, OK.
[LAUGHTER]
They love you too.
It doesn't matter.
I love being part of tWitch's world.
So you thought you were one of the finalists, and you are,
but you're actually not only one of the finalists.
You're the finalist.
So you and your husband are going
to go sit in the bubly Skybox--
What?
--and you're going to enjoy the rest of the show.
Thank you so much!
And then later on, we're going to play a game
called bubly Bucks, where you could possibly win some money.
What?
I know.
Ellen.
Yes?
Thank you.
Well, yes, you're welcome.
It's my idea, not tWitch's.
All right, go--
[APPLAUSE]
[INAUDIBLE]
Go up that way--
[INAUDIBLE]
What is her name?
Brooklyn and Perseus.
Brooklyn and Perseus, hi.
How you doing?
Hi, kids.
I get it.
Here's how it works.
As you know, bubly is a fun new sparkling water
with no calories or sweeteners, and it
comes in eight great flavors.
You knew that, of course.
We have three cans of bubly up there right now.
Two of them have water inside, but one is filled with $10,000.
What?
Yes.
All right, I'm going to give you one chance.
OK.
One chance.
OK.
You go over there and stand under the one
that you think has the $10,000 and pull it.
OK.
All right, one chance.
[APPLAUSE]
All right.
You feel like which one?
[APPLAUSE]
Yeah, that's green.
Want to try that one?
Yes.
Hey, good for you.
Good luck.
One chance.
[SPLASHING]
[AUDIENCE SHOUTING]
Oh no, Meagan.
No, that's not-- all right.
I'm not supposed to do this, but I really--
I want you to have another chance.
One more chance.
[AUDIENCE SHOUTING]
This is on you!
[SPLASHING]
[AUDIENCE SHOUTING]
Look, all right.
Now you probably-- you thought you should have done that one.
Yep.
This is the one probably, right?
Oh look, you act like I'm going to give you another chance.
Oh, oh, [LAUGHING]
But I will.
I'll give it one more chance.
[APPLAUSE]
[SPLASHING]
Meagan!
You know what?
Did we forget to put the money in?
We forgot to put the money in.
Oh, that's a shame.
That's horrible.
Well, the good news is our friends at bubly
want you to crack a smile, so they're
giving you a check for $10,000.
What?
[APPLAUSE]
[SHRIEKING]
Thank you!
Oh my god!
And they also want you to try bubly.
Everyone in the audience is getting a $150 Target
gift card, so you--
[APPLAUSE]
