Tyler “Ninja” Blevins just doesn’t stop, does he? From starring in a Samsung advert alongside Travis Scott to being the feature star on ESPN’s magazine cover, he’s now appearing on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. He announced earlier this week that he wouldn’t be streaming on Thursday (yesterday) as he’d be flying to California, but he didn’t leak any details as to the purpose of his trip. Instead, his wife, Jessica “JGhosty” Blevins, uploaded a picture to Instagram that showed the reason for their trip.

She also revealed that the show would be airing a 4pm CST. That’s 5pm for those on the east coast or 2pm if you’re on the west coast. In previous pictures posted she described the reason for their trip as “filming something awesome”, but it wasn’t until she uploaded the photo of the dressing room name that anyone knew what it was. Ninja followed it up shortly after by tweeting about the appearance.

We have no idea what their appearance will actually entail. We can safely assume it’s related to Fortnite since that’s why Ninja is almost a household name at this point, but it could also be about his life in general. Perhaps they’ll touch on if Black Ops 4 Blackout can compete with Fortnite for airtime on Ninja’s streams? Either way, we’ll no doubt see the segment spread virally as soon as it airs.
Ninja had a bit of a rough time earlier this week in-game, as he was using the Guided Missile but became the latest victim to an infamous bug. He also revealed earlier this week that he’ll be hosting an exclusive party alongside famous DJ and Fortnite streamer Dillon Francis. Where? It’s only open to TwitchCon attendees, so if you want to see Ninja try his hand at spinning some records, head to San Jose in late October.
