KIEFER SUTHERLAND
When Ellen thinks you'll love a guest, she does whatever it takes to get them on the show! She'll even fly them in from anywhere in the world, as she's done with 10-year-old YUTO MIYAZAWA, who is here all the way from Japan to show off his unbelievable guitar skills. The first time Ellen introduced Yuto to America, he gave an amazing performance, and then Ellen surprised him with a visit from his idol: Ozzy Osbourne! Plus, KIEFER SUTHERLAND doesn't appear on talk shows very often, but he wanted to be here to chat with Ellen today.
