Stratford Boy, 5, Returns To ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’

STRATFORD, CT — Stratford 5-year-old Nate Seltzer, who gained Internet fame after an appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” not only for his skills as a geography expert but also for his political humor, was welcomed back to the show on Monday.

In his original appearance in March, Nate wowed the crowd by identifying flags from all over the world while also showing that he’s memorized the entire globe. Ellen also showed off maps that Nate drew, including something he drew on top of Russia that he whispered was “very funny.” When Ellen asked what it is, Nate answered “Trump” with a wide smile and took a bow as the crowd erupted into laughter and applause.

Nate’s joke made the rounds on the Internet, being picked up by websites such as Buzzfeed and Mashable. (To sign up for Stratford breaking news alerts and more, click here.)

In his return appearance on Monday, May 1, Nate revealed that he wants to be a grocery store manager when he grows up because he loves food.

Nate told Ellen that he likes “grapes, blackberries, cherries, strawberries, raspberries, cucumbers, carrots, lettuce, Cheez-Its, cheese, fruit snacks, muffins, blueberry muffins, English muffins, eggs, French toast, onions… no, no, not onions!”

“I was kidding,” he told the crowd about saying that he liked onions.

Nate also showed off more of his U.S. geography knowledge by identifying states and their capitals. Plus, Ellen presented him with a towering supply of cheeseballs, which he said are his favorite snack.
