- I ALWAYS END EACH SHOW BY SAYING
"BE KIND TO ONE ANOTHER,"
AND OUR FIRST GUEST IS A WAITRESS
FROM HENNIKER, NEW HAMPSHIRE, WHO DID JUST THAT.
PLEASE WELCOME SARAH HOIDAHL.

WHOO!

- I DO.
- AND YOU'RE A SINGLE MOM. - I AM.
- ALL RIGHT, SO AND YOU'RE--
SO THAT'S HOW YOU'RE MAKING YOUR MONEY.
YOU'RE MAKING MONEY OFF OF TIPS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
- MM-HMM.
- AND EXPLAIN TO EVERYONE WHAT YOU DID.
- ALL RIGHT, WELL,
IT WAS A REGULAR WEDNESDAY LUNCH SHIFT I WENT IN,
AND TWO WOMEN NATIONAL GUARD,
THEY WERE IN THEIR UNIFORMS AND EVERYTHING.
THEY CAME IN FOR LUNCH,
AND THEY WERE TRYING TO DECIDE WHAT TO GET.
THEY WERE LOOKING THROUGH THE MENU.
THEY SAID THEY WERE TRYING TO KEEP IT LIGHT.
THEY MENTIONED WITH THE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN
THAT THEY WERE FURLOUGHED, AND, YOU KNOW,
THEY'RE NOT GETTING PAID.
I--THAT JUST GOT ME THINKING.
I WAS LIKE, "JEEZ, THAT'S REALLY DIFFICULT."
I'M A WAITRESS, SINGLE MOTHER.
I KNOW HOW HARD THAT IS.
AND I JUST DECIDED, YOU KNOW I'M GONNA DO SOMETHING GOOD TODAY.
I'M GONNA BUY THEIR LUNCH FOR THEM.
- YOU'RE GONNA BUY THEIR LUNCH.
SO INSTEAD OF THE BILL...
[cheers and applause]
I THINK WE HAVE A COPY OF THE NOTE,
BUT IT SAYS, "THANKS TO THE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN,
"PEOPLE LIKE YOU THAT PROTECT THIS COUNTRY
"ARE NOT GETTING PAID.
"HOWEVER, I STILL AM.
"LUNCH IS ON ME.
"THANK YOU FOR SERVING, LADIES.
HAVE A GOOD DAY."
THAT'S WHAT YOU LEFT.
[cheers and applause]
AND THEN THEY POSTED THIS ON FACEBOOK,
AND--AND THEN IT'S JUST TAKEN OFF.
EVERYBODY FOUND OUT ABOUT IT.
AND, I MEAN, THAT'S AMAZING.
JUST ONE GOOD DEED,
THAT YOU WERE JUST HELPING THOSE TWO WOMEN,
AND LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED.
- YEAH, IT'S CRAZY.
IT'S MIND-BLOWING,
AND NOW I'M ON ELLEN.
[laughs]
YES!
OH, MY GOSH, IT'S MIND-BLOWING.
MY MIND IS STILL BLOWN.
- SO HOW MUCH DID YOU MAKE THAT NIGHT?
WHAT DID YOU GO HOME WITH?
- I WALKED AWAY WITH-- WITH $8,
WHICH ISN'T EVEN ENOUGH TO COVER MY GAS.
[laughs]
- SO--SO THAT'S-- THAT'S AMAZING,
THAT YOU KNOW THAT YOU HAVE A SON.
HOW OLD IS YOUR SON?
- HE'S 15 MONTHS.
- 15 MONTHS. WHAT'S HIS NAME?
- ASHTON. - ASHTON.
SO YOU'RE TAKING CARE OF ASHTON.
- OH!
- PRECIOUS LITTLE BOY.
- THAT'S MY BABY.
- THAT'S YOUR BABY.
THAT'S ADORABLE.
AND THAT'S TOUGH.
I MEAN, YOU'RE LIVING AT HOME WITH YOUR MOM.
AND I WANT TO-- HOW MUCH WAS THE BILL?
'CAUSE I'M GONNA PAY YOU BACK.
- [laughs]
- HOW MUCH WAS THE BILL?
- I LIKE IT.
I LIKE THE CAT.
- GOD, I HAVE SO MUCH--
I CARRY AROUND SO MUCH STUFF IN MY PURSE.
HERE IT IS. OKAY.
HOW MUCH?
- THE BILL WAS $27.75.

TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SIX, SEVEN.
WELL, THERE'S 27.
$27.75?
HERE'S 25.

- 60.
WELL, JUST KEEP IT, WHATEVER THAT IS.
- THANK YOU.
- AND THEN--
[cheers and applause]
FIRST OF ALL, SO YOU'RE PAID BACK ON THAT,
AND THEN I HEARD THAT YOU CAN'T WATCH MY SHOW.
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING HERE.
THIS IS WHY I HAVE YOU HERE.
YOUR TELEVISION IS BROKEN, SO YOU'RE NOT ABLE TO WATCH ME,
AND THAT'S UNACCEPTABLE.
- [laughs]
- SO I GOT YOU A BRAND-NEW 50-INCH INSIGNIA TELEVISION.
[cheers and applause]
YEP.
- OH, MY GOSH, THANK YOU.
- AND YOU GET TWO OF THOSE AND PUT 'EM NEXT TO EACH OTHER,
YOU CAN PUT IT ON YOUR LAWN.
- [laughs]
- THEN IT'S WORTH, LIKE, A MILLION.
AND THEN, I AM COMPLETELY OUT OF CASH NOW,
AND I GOT TO MAKE IT HOME MYSELF.
CAN--ANDY, CAN YOU BRING MAMA HER CHECKBOOK, PLEASE?
I NEED--
ALL RIGHT, HERE WE GO.
THANKS.
I'M GONNA MAKE YOU A CHECK RIGHT NOW.
[cheers and applause]
THAT'S FOR YOU.
THAT'S BECAUSE YOU'RE AMAZING.
YOU'RE A GOOD PERSON.
WE'LL BE BACK.
- OH, THANK YOU.
