Ellen DeGeneres is absolutely distraught about the mass shooting that took place in Las Vegas on Sunday but she has a plan to help combat the darkness felt in its aftermath. The talk show host filmed an eight-minute long segment on Monday, just hours after at least 59 people were killed and over 500 were injured by a gunman who opened fire on a crowd attending the Route 91 Harvest Festival. “When I wake up [on a day like] today I think, How am I going to do a show? But it’s also days like this that I appreciate my job more than ever because I get to focus and shine a light on people that do good in the world.”And that’s exactly what DeGeneres did by highlighting some of the incredible do-gooders she’s featured on her show over the last 15 years. From the group of bystanders who saved a motorcyclist trapped under a burning car to a young teen who developed an app to help people with disabilities, the montage is a beautiful reminder of just how well human beings can treat each other ― and exactly what we needed to see right now.
