NZ: TEAM ELLEN

"Team Ellen" put NZ on the map!

Three Kiwi's Nick, Lauren, and Kaitlin (from Christchurch) "made it their mission to meet super star Ellen Degeneres". They recorded video's on YouTube and Ellen got hold of these and "twittered" them personally. She then rang them up on the show (see below) and told them that she was going to give them a week-long trip to Los Angeles, including a visit to the set of her show.

She surprised them even further by interviewing them ON THE SHOW and upon arriving back in NZ they are now local celebrities! Upon arriving back home they were interviewed on Breakfast by Paul Henry and had this to say; ""She's very genuine. Even when the video wasn't rolling she would chat to us and say, 'This is surreal, isn't it?". Good on them! Another case of great "Kiwi Ingenuity"!
