Ellen welcomes new U.S. citizen Emily Blunt by scaring the bejeezus out of her




What better way to celebrate becoming a U.S. citizen than dressing up like the Statue of Liberty, singing Yankee Doodle Dandee and being terrified by Uncle Sam? NOTHING WE TELL YOU.

That is the fun-filled extravaganza that Ellen had in mind for Emily Blunt, who just got her citizenship, officially (the Brit is married to American John Krasinski, to boot). Poor Blunt just thought she was going to have to sing a song she didn't know on national TV, but she had no idea that Ellen was planning. Her reaction is priceless, and still very British.
