Mandalay Bay security guard Jesus Campos had virtually disappeared before he surfaced on Wednesday’s episode of “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.”
The 25-year-old, who was shot in the leg after encountering the Mandalay Bay gunman on Oct. 1, refused repeated requests to tell his story. His home was plastered with “NO TRESPASSING” and “NO MEDIA ON PROPERTY” signs. And on Oct. 12, hours before he was supposed to be interviewed on Fox News’ “The Sean Hannity Show” — followed by scheduled interviews with NBC, ABC, CBS and CNN — Campos simply walked away from a hotel suite.
So how did he end up sitting between DeGeneres and Mandalay Bay building engineer Stephen Schuck? No one associated with the show will say. But Campos and Schuck were rewarded for their appearance.
Responding to a request to speak to anyone from “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” about the interview, the show’s director of publicity, Melissa Little Padgitt, said in an email, “We have no additional information to provide other than what Ellen, Jesus and Stephen discussed on the show.”

Here is how the gun grabbing Ellen DeGeneres landed the interview:
IGT forges a partnership with talk and comic superstar Ellen DeGeneres for a hot new slot series
There was a time when leading slot-maker International Game Technology’s high-profile slot brands were drawn from old TV shows. Stars from the 1960s would promote the games by showing up at the trade shows, canes and walkers in tow.
These days, though, IGT’s themes invariably draw from what’s hot in popular culture right now.
And right now, no one’s hotter than Ellen.
Ellen DeGeneres, the comedian, writer and former sitcom star, is riding a crest of popularity thanks to her beloved daytime talk and variety show, The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Now in its 12th season, the award-winning show—it has won 36 Daytime Emmys so far—draws around 3.9 million viewers per episode, and DeGeneres herself is at the zenith of her popularity. When she hosted the Oscars last year, she drew 43.7 million viewers, the highest ratings for the awards show in 14 years.

What a complete bunch of horse$hit. They prepped this guy to say what they wanted. Which was absolutely nothing. Here’s $25,000…. shut up or you’re dead…
Amazing how he looked SO LITTLE like the pics of the first-portrayed Campos, huh?
And no cane, no dressing, no limp, no….nothing.
Wish I HEALED that fast when I was injured by metal entering my body!
FYI? Here’s what a REAL gunshot op’ and recovery looks like:
Yep. He healed quick.
Wow. Who would have thought Ellen was so popular. I’ve never seen one episode nor have I heard anyone talk about her in passing or mention her in conversation. For someone they say is so popular, you’d think she’d be on billboards everywhere. Don’t you just love how they embellish people for publicity.
