UPDATE: The eight Marist College students that appeared on The Ellen Degeneres Show last month, attended The People's Choice Awards on Wednesday night with tickets they received as gifts from Ellen.

The students appeared on Tuesday's show and had to compete to see who would get the tickets to the show. At the end Ellen gave them all tickets.

The group included Kristen Lopes, Angela Carone, Caroline Tierney, Julia Lista, Meg McEnroe, Gabriella Frangella, Ellen Molinari and Alayna Krug, who share an off-campus house on Fairview Avenue in Poughkeepsie.

The show gave the girls a number of gifts, including 55-inch televisions, gift cards, video game systems and other prizes. The girls donated most of the gifts to children's charities and hospitals.

Original Story: 

A group of Marist College juniors were featured on television with their favorite talk show host, Ellen DeGeneres on Monday.

Angela Carone, Kristen Lopes, Caroline Tierney, Julia Lista, Meg McEnroe, Gabriella Frangella, Ellen Molinari and Alayna Krug make sure that they gather together everyday to watch Ellen, in thier house off campus in Poughkeepsie.

One of the girls responded to a question on Ellen's website: Are you Ellen's Biggest College Fan? Do you or a college friend make time to squeeze in Ellen? We want to hear from you.

The girls were selected last week and a camera crew visited their home in Poughkeepsie.

The show was taped last week, and the girls were also awarded prizes. They will also be flown out to California for a live taping of "The Ellen DeGeneres Show"
