Jessie and Johnny had been writing into the Ellen Show in an attempt to get tickets to go for years. Jessie admitted to Ellen she had tried to write in as herself, Johnny, and even her grandmother to get the tickets. Finally, Ellen responded and flew the couple out to her show. What Jessie didn’t know, though, was that Johnny was the one who convinced Ellen to do it.

Ellen asks the couple to play a round of “Heads Up,” which is essentially a fancy way to play charades. The first few words are easy (1:55), but when the screen says “Proposal” Jessie is beyond excited– her reaction is immediate, to the point that Johnny didn’t even get to actually ask the words (2:15).

The lesson from all this? If you can get on a talk show to propose, DO IT. Odds are you’ll not only get your exciting moment broadcasted, but you’ll probably come out of it with a honeymoon, cash, or more! I mean, what’s not to love about that?
