Sheletta Brundidge was chosen as a contestant on the show after her autistic son had gone viral for singing "Old Town Road" this summer. They were originally going to be on "The Ellen Show" but since that show had finished taping for the season, she was offered a chance to audition for the game show. 

Brundidge taped the episode this past summer. She said that the entire production was first class and that she felt like she was a VIP on set. 

"It was surreal. You go to this historic studio where Ellen's shows are taped and you realize you're in the same building where Brad Pitt has been, where Oprah's been, where Tiffany Haddish has been, where Denzel Washington has been. It was overwhelming for me. And Ellen is just an amazing person. She started out as a comedian like me and worked her way up to the top of the entertainment industry. I have so much love for her drive and hard work and hustle."

Sheletta couldn't tell us how she did but had huge praise for the host of the show, Ellen DeGeneres.

"She's funny but she's tough. She's not going to accept any ole answer, if it ain't right you ain't moving on to the next round. She doesn't play. But she's amazing watching her work, being funny, taking care of the contestants, coordinating with her staff. She's a machine. I was in awe of her. Watching Ellen made me want to work harder and do more with my career and the gifts God has given me."

She how Sheletta does tonight on "Ellen's Game of Game's" tonight on KARE 11 at 7 pm.
