Ellen Decided to Pay it Forward

As the show unfolded towards its conclusion, Akin and K.L. were in for a truly remarkable surprise. With their college plans on the horizon, Ellen had an incredible gift in store for them: hefty checks of $10,000 each to support their educational journeys. In classic Ellen style, a production manager burst onto the stage, bearing oversized checks bearing Akin and K.L.’s names. Overwhelmed by this generous gesture, Ellen praised the duo, saying, “We need more individuals like you in this world.”
