Hailey Welch, which is her real name, was thrilled to learn about her roots, and the rest of the people in the room were equally excited.
Mandel was joined by his co-host and daughter Jackelyn Shultz, as well as comedian Michael Blaustein.
When the results came in, the room erupted in laughter and jokes.
The rest of her ancestry is made up of 0.2 percent Eastern European, 1.7 percent broadly European, 0.2 percent Siberian, and 0.1 percent broadly East Asian.
Welch responded with, “Yes, I tried Katz Deli when I was in New York – it was really good. I’m on top of the world!”
The group kept making jokes about the results, with Mandel even suggesting that “Hawk Tuah” might be a Yiddish word.
Who would have guessed that one viral moment and a couple of simple sounds could make such a splash?
In a new clip on Twitter, she explained, “Along the way I realized that everybody’s entitled to their own opinion. Well now, it’s my time to talk.”
“I’m sitting down with the coolest guests and having actual conversations with them,” she said.
When life gives you lemons, it seems Hawk Tuah knows how to make the most of them.
