Ellen DeGeneres Takes Ice Bucket Challenge and Nominates Kim K, Challenge Accepted by Mrs. West

Ellen DeGeneres is one of the stars whom people have waited for so long to see douse herself with ice water. It gets even better because Ellen was not the only one who took the challenge as a very important guest joined her.

During the return of "The Ellen DeGeners show", the 56-year-old hose invited Anthony Carbajal. Carbajal was the one who fronted the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge as he was diagnosed with the disease January this year.

Ellen interviewed Carbajal saying that the viral challenge was getting a lot of attention and indeed it also caught hers. Carbajal has posted a video of him explaining about the disease and had over 16 million views in YouTube as of today.

Ellen explains that she was not planning on doing the challenge but the video of Carbajal changed her perception.

The host noted that she was startled that she was nominated by Carbajal in the video.

Carbajal responded saying that his family loves Ellen so much. He said that her mom, who also is suffering from the disease, and him watch Ellen's show every day.

Carbajal continued saying that he is a wedding photographer and he edited during the day back when he still did not have the disease. However, he needs to help his mom during the day but he noted that whatever both of them were feeling, it's automatic that at 4 o'clock, they watch Ellen.

Carbajal said that Ellen lifted their spirits and that he knows Ellen lifts other people's spirits as well. He also noted that he did not think that Ellen would ever answer and that he would be on the show with the host herself. He noted that he is very happy and grateful and that that moment might be the best of his and his mom's life.

After the heart-warming interview, 26-year-old Carbajal joined Ellen in taking the challenge. Ellen then proceeded to nominate Beyonce and Kim Kardashian to take the challenge.

Kim K reportedly look the challenge as she posted a photo of herself taking a selfie before being doused with ice water. The video has not been released yet as it will be aired on Tuesday.
