The most popular former NFL long snapper and former Philadelphia Eagle Jon Dorenbos did his first interview since having open heart surgery.

In typical Dorenbos fashion, the former America’s Got Talent finalist never got his spirits down as he was seen cheering up other patients in the hospital while he was recovering.

Dorenbos talks with Ellen about how he found out he was traded, how the doctors discovered his medical condition, and the recovery since open-heart surgery.

The video is after the jump.
