Ellen DeGeneres should really be called Ellen D. Generous, at least when it comes to donating money to fund cancer research. Ellen set up a basketball hoop on her show with guests Hollywood superstar Mark Wahlberg and his brother, Chef Paul Wahlberg, star of the Wahlburgers reality show.
Mark looks fit and lean and ready as usual, while Paul — who is himself a cancer survivor — looks, well, more like a chef than a Hollywood star. Mark talks about how he urges Paul to go to the gym so his “big brother will be around a long time.” (Paul thinks Mark just finds his workouts “amusing” to watch.)

But when it comes to showing off athletic prowess in front of Ellen’s audience, it’s Paul who beats Mark to the tune of $25K. That’s how much Ellen will donate to cancer research when a Wahlberg — Mark or Paul — hits a shot. But after Mark clanks his attempt off the rim, it’s Paul who swishes his shot for the $25,000. Hey, better get to the gym, Mark Wahlberg! You’re good, Paul. (Pretty sure Ellen donated all the money anyway.) Wahlburgers airs Wednesdays at 8 pm on A&E.
