Lisa Lam‘s Baby Shower, as seen on The Ellen Degeneres Show, was a heartwarming event filled with surprises and generosity. Lisa, who had become part of The Ellen Degeneres Show family after Ellen discovered her at a supermarket in New Jersey, has come a long way since then.
Lisa, who was pregnant with her first child, had lost her job due to a few mistakes at the register. However, Ellen came to her rescue and hired her as the show’s Emmy Awards correspondent and helped her secure a job at the NBC Experience Store in New York.
During Lisa’s appearance on the show, Ellen caught up with her and asked her how things were going at the store. Lisa happily shared that she was now a greeter and was enjoying meeting many people, most of whom were fans of Ellen. They even wanted to take pictures with her and considered her famous.
Lisa also gave an update about her pregnancy. She revealed that her baby’s name would be Morgan Fay and that she was due on January 1st. Ellen, being her usual fun self, suggested that Lisa hold out a little longer so that the baby could be born on her (Ellen’s) birthday, which would be a great coincidence.
To add to the excitement, Ellen surprised Lisa by throwing her a baby shower. The generous contributions included a crib, a mattress, a changing table, and a dresser from Bellini. Even Flow also provided a stroller, a high chair, carriers, and other baby essentials that would surely come in handy. Additionally, drugstore.com, the leading online Health and Beauty Supply store, showed their support by giving Lisa $500 worth of merchandise every year for the next 18 years, as well as a scholarship fund check of $115,000 for Morgan Fay on her 18th birthday.
The baby shower was a touching and joyous occasion that highlighted the kindness and generosity of The Ellen Degeneres Show and its community. Lisa Lam‘s journey from a supermarket to a beloved member of the talk show family is a testament to the show’s commitment to making a positive impact on people’s lives.
