Ellen DeGeneres terrified her friend Kris Jenner in a throwback to her daytime talk show.
“What the f*** is wrong with you?” a terrified Jenner, 70, screamed at the former Ellen DeGeneres Show host, 68, in a video posted via Instagram on Saturday, June 6.
The NSFW clip started out with DeGeneres hiding behind a wall, presumably in a Mallorca vacation home where she and Jenner have reportedly been enjoying a getaway with their partners, Portia de Rossi and Corey Gamble.
As a clueless Jenner walked around the corner, wearing a flowing caftan, DeGeneres jumped out and screamed in her face.
“What the f***?” Jenner shouted back while laughing. “You f***ing a**hole! Oh my god!”
As DeGeneres cackled in the background, the Kardashians star admitted, “I have shivers all over my f***ing body!”
Luckily, Jenner got over her initial fright quickly and later shared the prank via her Instagram account, along with the caption, “@ellendegeneres still at her shenanigans… it never gets old.”
Several of the Kardashian family’s friends and extended family — including Malika and Khadijah Haqq, Kimora Lee Simmons, Kyle Richards and Tristan Thompson — replied with laughing emojis in the comments section on the post.
“I love yalls relationship,” Khadijah, 43, wrote, before quoting Kris’ cries of terror, “‘”…Shivers all [over] my body…’”
As mentioned, DeGeneres’ classic pranks date back to her daytime talk show, which originally aired from 2003 to 2022. She memorably surprised Pink during one interview with a man in a cockroach costume while the cursed doll Annabelle once sprung out of a box to freak out Jake Gyllenhaal.
The Kardashian-Jenner family were frequent targets of DeGeneres’ pranks over the years, including the time she confronted famed arachnophobic Kim Kardashian with a live spider on stage in April 2022.
However, DeGeneres’ favorite prank victim has always been Kris. The comic filmed herself singing in the sleeping reality star’s ear and horrified her with a jump scare in a dark hallway.
DeGeneres has kept a relatively low profile following the end of her talk show in 2022. She moved with wife de Rossi, 53, to a farmhouse in the Cotswold region of England in November 2024 following the re-election of President Donald Trump.
“We got here the day before the election and woke up to lots of texts from our friends with crying emojis, and I was like, ‘He got in’,” she revealed in July 2025. “And we’re like, ‘We’re staying here’.”
While the couple bought a $27.4 million home in Montecito, California, in November 2025, Us Weekly exclusively reported in February that they have no plans to move back to the U.S. permanently.
“They are still planning to live full-time in the U.K. but will spend a few months of the year in Montecito,” an insider told Us.
