As The Ellen Show closes season 13, Ellen DeGeneres has been taking a look back and reflecting on some of her favorite moments so far.
DeGeneres gets a little help from actress Ellie Kemper who joined her earlier in the season. Kemper took over to revisit some of the most heartwarming episodes.
In the previous episode, Mario Lopez helped DeGeneres countdown her memorable staff moments and prior to that Tyler Oakley helped get the viral video party started for EllenTube.
Now DeGeneres has yet another celebrity, Kemper who is prepared to take on her job and countdown the top heartwarming moments of season 13.
DeGeneres opened up the show speaking about all of the great people she has met along the way. She introduced Kemper to the show and Kemper's dancing entrance completely rivaled that of DeGeneres.
Kemper happens to be pregnant but she was still asked to fill in for DeGeneres to share some of the heartwarming moments.
DeGeneres kicked off the countdown with the story of Sam and Chris.
Sam is an autistic dancing barista who was given a chance to work thanks to Chris.
After sharing the story once again, Kemper took over and continued to countdown stories such as comedian Quincy Jones' and the story of Brian and Jackson.
