(KDLM) – Two months after going viral for an incentive to stay off social media Lorna Klefsaas and her son, Sivert, are still making the media rounds.

Lorna made a deal with 12-year-old Sivert that she would pay him $1,800 to stay off of social media until he was 18. Sivert, who celebrated his 18th birthday in February and is set to graduate from Staples-Motley High School in the spring, and his mom have done radio and TV interviews across the globe including in South Africa,and New Zealand, got a shout-out on Live with Kelly and Ryan, and have been featured in the Washington Post, People Magazine, World News Now and more media outlets across the world.

In early March, Lorna and Sivert were flown out to California for a mystery appearance on a TV show.

“Unfortunately, I don’t think I can say where we went until the end of April,” Lorna wrote on Facebook. “But I will let everybody know as soon as I can!”

Lorna was able to reveal over the weekend that they made an appearance on ELLEN, and that the episode will air this Thursday, April 28th.

You can watch Lorna and Sivert on the ELLEN show this Thursday at 3:00 on KVLY out of Fargo.

Lorna talked to Zeke from the Morning Carpool on Wave 104-1 last February:
