Why the Dark But Funny "Me on Ellen" Meme Is Going Viral on Twitter
"Oh my god, Ellen, you didn't!"
If you regularly watch The Ellen DeGeneres Show, you know one of the best parts of the daytime talk show is Ellen's tendency to find out what her guests love most and then use that knowledge to give them the gift of a lifetime.
Case in point: when she surprised 11-year-old Idina Menzel superfan Luke Chacko by introducing him to his idol.

Or when she moved Jimmy Kimmel to tears when she revealed she had one of the rooms in a children's hospital named after his son, Billy, who was born with a genetic heart disease.
I love @JimmyKimmel. And I rocked his world.
