Ellen DeGeneres's visit to Tulane University

Tulane University graduates got a triple dose of celebrity at their commencement ceremony today.

First up, they heard from former Presidents Bush and Clinton, followed by a surprise visit from comedian Ellen DeGeneres. She's from New Orleans and returned to her hometown yesterday for the first time since Hurricane Katrina struck.

DeGeneres joked that she never passes up an opportunity to follow two former presidents.

She also told the grads their hurricane experience will serve them well, helping form and shape them.

While in town, DeGeneres also helped open a restaurant that was given away on her talk show to a New Orleans resident who lost her home and business.
