Ellen DeGeneres surprised a Kenyan student, Achieng Agutu, by flying in her parents from Kenya and her brother from South Africa for a family reunion.
Achieng had entertained Ellen’s show’s audience with dance moves before recording kicked off.
Ellen faked a video call with Achieng’s parents and brothers then terminated it under the pretext there was bad connection, only to turn out that they were at the backstage.
The family then played the Million Dollar May card game and were lucky to choose the card with the highest money price equivalent to KSh5 million.
Achieng narrated how she does several jobs to manage her living expenses in the US, where she has been living for the past five years with a host family.
Her host family members were also present during the show.
