If You Haven't Heard About The Dancing Starbucks Employee With Autism, See Him On Ellen

Sam Forbes, a 17-year-old Toronto teen, has become famous in the last few weeks after a video someone posted of him dancing at work went viral. Forbes's story is all the more unique because Forbes had been told he wasn't employable due to his disorder. However, the man who would become Forbes's boss, Chris Ali, met Forbes at a Camp Thrive, an event affiliated with Integrated Services for Autism and Neurodevelopmental Disorders (ISAND).

During his interview, Forbes explained how incredibly meaningful Starbucks taking a chance on him was: "In that moment my life changed, my whole world changed."

Degeneres gave Forbes a custom tip jar and is sending him on a trip to Japan, making a lifelong dream come true for him.

The Trudeaus Are Having A Very Big Week

This week the Primer Minister and his wife, Sophie Gregoire-Trudeau, have been in Washington D.C. for a state dinner at the White House, the first time in 19 years that the honour has been bestowed upon a PM.

The Trudeaus have piqued media interest, from the humourous to the serious. The New Yorker has some fun with Justin Trudeau's position on immigration, and Katie Couric sits down with Madame Trudeau, who in Canada, is not referred to as the First Lady. There is no official title for the wife of the Prime Minister.
