Last week Ellen DeGeneres surprised Braylon Beam and his family with Super Bowl 50 tickets so that he could cheer on his favorite team the Carolina Panthers. Today he returned to the show to talk about his experience.
Beam was the youngest correspondent at Super Bowl 50 and as promised, whether the Panthers won or lost, Beam would appear on the show to give DeGeneres and fans a recap of the big game. Unfortunately the Panthers lost to the Denver Broncos 10-24, in a pretty tough game.
When DeGeneres asked Beam if he had fun, he still managed to give her an energetic and positive reply.
"It was kinda hard but it was a fun time and I met Von Miller back at the studio, it was fun," said Beam.
Beam did admit that Miller was cool but that he didn't like it so much when he kept sacking Carolina quarterback Cam Newton. He also said that the refs were trying to give the game to Peyton Manning which sent the crowd and DeGeneres into a bit of laughter.
They got into a little of the footage from the weekend where Beam and his family boarded their private jet to San Fransisco.
Beam got to dance with Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown and the Miami Dolphins Jarvis Landry. He also got an autograph from Drew Brees who sent a message out to DeGeneres.
Beam also took to the field to talk to some of the Panthers including head coach Ron Rivera and Cam Newton. Beam was noticed by fans and players from every team.
All in all despite the loss, it looks like Beam had the experience of a lifetime thanks to DeGeneres.
