Ellen DeGeneres Finally Picks Her Hunky New Gardener

After weeks of auditions (thank you, Internet!), Ellen DeGeneres has finally named a replacement for her hunky gardener, Nick, while he films Magic Mike XXL.

Chattanooga, Tennessee's Derek Yates will be trimming Ellen's bush, and making (probably shirtless) appearances on  The Ellen Show.

Yates submitted a video and was flown to Los Angeles to compete against two other finalists on Sunday. Taping for the show took place on Monday, as the finalists were made to do a runway walk, take off their shirts and answer questions.

Um, maybe they should have done some gardening? Okay, we'll stop talking now.
