And to the delight of people who like that sort of thing, he showed of those ridiculous abs while playing DeGeneres' gardener "Nick."
“I am sorry Ellen, I couldn’t hear you over my shirt,” Reilich, an assistant basketball coach at Indiana University South Bend, said before removing said shirt to oohs and aahs from the audience.
He appeared later in the show as Nick, taking his shirt off to show how mad he was that Ellen was ending her "Classic Joke Wednesday" segment.
DeGeneres’ show airs weekdays at 4 p.m. on WHIO-TV. Like the Dayton Daily News, WHIO is a Cox Ohio Media Group company.
A video for a love song to Ellen — "We Love You, Ellen" — Reilich and his Centerville high pals — Stevie Brock, Dan Burtenshaw and Dan Cox — made as the band the Cream Pies went viral after Ellen took note of it in January.
The friends appeared on Ellen's show, and Reilich wowed the crowd with those iron-like abs.
The group has made several videos, including one for Bill's Donuts.
The last video was for the anti cyber-bullying song called "Be Strong."
