Ellen DeGenerespulled off another successfulcelebrity scare.
MusicianBillie Eilishjumped out of a box onEllenWednesday to terrify her super fan Melissa McCarthy — and McCarthy’sThe KitchencostarsTiffany HaddishandElisabeth Moss.
After jumping out, Eilish gave McCarthy a big hug. “What if you knocked me out?” the actress joked.
“I’m still weirdly [shaking],” McCarthy said moments after the prank was over. “You’re just not supposed to experience that.”
But the scare was all in good fun, and Eilish told McCarthy that she approved of the new version of her music video, calling it “so cute.”
Apart from McCarthy’s love of her music, theCan You Ever Forgive Me?actress and Eilish have a small-world connection: “Her mom was my first improv teacher. Maggie Baird, who was amazing,” McCarthy said.
McCarthy had previously expressed her love of Eilish and her music whenguest-hostingEllenearlier this month.

“I love her, I’m completely obsessed with her, we listen to her all the time,” she said at the time. “In fact, if you don’t like her, just get up and get out.”
“I think we would make a great duo,” she added before introducing the “Bad Guy” spoof.
