Seltzer proved himself adept at naming countries from their flags and showed off his geography knowledge.
It was a heartwarming moment.
But it took a turn towards outright fire, when Nate decided to burn the President in front of the cameras
Here's the clip that got the most laughs:
Ellen turned to Nate, asking about his hand-drawn map of the world. She asked what the figure was in Antarctica.
Nate replied that it was a penguin.
She then asked about the figure in Russia.
Nate replied:
It's really funny.
She asked:
What is it?
He said:
Trump!

It could just be using kids for political theatre, which would be a bit rubbish.
On the other hand, Nate knows a lot about geography and might glance at the news from time to time?
Who knows.
