Television personality and world-famous comedian Ellen DeGeneres had a bit a fun with actor Seth Rogan debuting her new game “You Must Say.”
The rules of the game are basic: Ellen is given a secret phrase by another individual, and she must nonchalantly incorporate that said phrase into an interview with a celebrity!

Rogan helped Ellen kick off this new game idea and even added a bit of a twist to the rules. Rogan tells Ellen that he is aware that she is set to be interviewing country music star Carrie Underwood, and he wants Ellen to convince her to do the “chicken dance”!
“I don’t know her at all. She seems totally lovely. But I wanna see if you can get her to do something physically…So, my instinct was for you to say, ‘Now, I hear you’re great at the chicken dance. We have no music, but now is the time to show us.’” Rogan laughs and continues, “I wanna see if she does it!”
Ellen, not one to back down for a challenge, decided to take a leap of faith and hope that Underwood would handle this situation in her favor.

With that, the country singer made her way on stage!
Manipulating their interview, Ellen nonchalantly tells Underwood, “Everyone has been telling me about this chicken dance that you do.”
“I do a chicken dance?” Underwood laughs in confusion. The crowd begins to cheer for Underwood as she nervously continues with “I don’t do a chicken dance.”
Ellen then asks her audience for back up, saying “Y’all have heard about it, right?” Of course, their loyalty remains with the beloved talk show host as they all nod and shout “Yes!” in agreement!
To everyone’s surprise, Underwood actually stands up and starts to walk out into the open stage, joking about how she feels “peer pressured”!
t didn’t take long before this Oklahoma native was flapping her wings and bobbing her neck back and forth in the most awkward, yet hilarious, chicken dance ever!

Eventually, Ellen does come clean about her deal with Rogan, leaving Underwood in laughs over the concept of the game and the fact that she actually did what she had never done before!
