HEROINE NANNY TO BE ON 'ELLEN'
JB Hawes and his heroic nanny have been booked on the Ellen DeGeneres show.
Hawes confirmed Monday that he and 5-year-old Aden, for whom Hawes is guardian, along with nanny Alyson Myatt, are scheduled to be in Los Angeles April 7 for the show. He said he wasn't sure if NBC would tape the show or if it would be a live broadcast.
National audiences have already heard on the Today Show how Myatt, 22, Aden's live-in nanny, ran barefoot through flames last week to save the boy; Hawes was away on business when his Goldenrod Court home was consumed by fire.
Around 6 a.m. on March 23, Myatt found Aden's room and the hallway leading to it engulfed in flames. Myatt ran through the fire and snatched Aden, who was hiding under the covers.
Though she didn't feel pain, she said, something felt wrong, like she was "walking on goo."
"It was all the skin -- my feet were just burned off," Myatt told the Courier-Journal.
Myatt carried the boy back through the burning hallway and took him outside, where she jumped into a van and drove them both to a neighbor's house. The neighbor called 911 and drove them to Jewish Hospital Shelbyville.
Ellen airs 4 p.m. weekdays on WAVE TV.
