In a surprising turn of events, Josh Duhamel made a special appearance on The Ellen Degeneres Show to announce that he has graduated from college live on air. The audience erupted in applause and cheers as Josh took the stage wearing his graduation gown and cap.
Ellen couldn’t help but comment on how cute Josh looked in his outfit, to which he graciously thanked her. He admitted that the gown was a bit big, but assured everyone that it was not a rental.
But the excitement didn’t stop there. Josh revealed that just an hour before the show, he was almost the victim of a “punk” by Ashton Kutcher and his crew. Apparently, Josh is always on guard because he believes he’s constantly being pranked. Talk about being suspicious!
As the conversation shifted to Josh’s upbringing, he shared that he hails from a tiny town in North Dakota called Minot. With a population of around 36,000, it’s considered the fourth biggest city in North Dakota – practically a metropolis. He fondly reminisced about his childhood there, mentioning that he didn’t know any better and loved growing up in Minot.
Speaking of college, Josh admitted that he attended Minot State University but didn’t graduate until recently. In fact, he left only one credit short of earning his biology degree back in 1992. However, he explained that he intentionally didn’t complete that one credit because he wanted to improve his GPA for dental school. It wasn’t until 2005 that he finally returned to take that one credit, but hey, better late than never!
To commemorate this momentous occasion, Ellen surprised Josh with a mock graduation ceremony. The stage was set, and the audience cheered as Ellen presented Josh with a graduation cap and an honorary diploma. It was truly a heartwarming moment as Josh stood tall as a college graduate.
But Ellen didn’t stop there. In a playful twist, she invited Josh to play a game of Catchphrase with the audience. Divided into two teams, Josh’s teammate was Kathleen, a kindergarten teacher from Seattle. Together, they competed against Rene, a stay-at-home mom from Brooklyn, and Ellen herself.
The game was thrilling, with Josh and Kathleen scoring points left and right. Even the mishap of almost cheating couldn’t dampen the fun and spirit of the game. In the end, both teams had a blast, and everyone went home with a smile.
Josh Duhamel‘s surprise graduation announcement on The Ellen Degeneres Show was a true testament to his determination and perseverance. From his humble beginnings in North Dakota to achieving fame and fortune in Hollywood, Josh has proven that it’s never too late to fulfill your dreams.
We congratulate Josh on his graduation and wish him continued success in all his future endeavors. And of course, we can’t wait to see what pranks he encounters next – on or off the screen!
