Young Kiwi scores internship working with Ellen DeGeneres

Murupara up-and-comer Fabian Anderson made a major career move, accepting an internship at one of the biggest talk shows in the world, working with superstar Ellen Degeneres.

Anderson says he was chosen for the gig because of his "charismatic" personality, but exactly what he'll be doing on The Ellen Show is apparently being kept under wraps - even from him.

"They loved me so they had me on straight away," he said in an interview with Paul Henry.

The young Kiwi has high hopes that if he does a good job and makes himself known around the studio lot, it could lead to a job, saying: "They better offer me something - I'll be irked if not."
