Ellen had Joe Dombrowski on her show to talk about the quiz he gave his fourth grade students.

In the quiz, the teacher asked his students to spell silly words, including ro-laska-tox (complete with hyphens) he cribbed from “RuPaul’s Drag Race.”

Dombrowski posted a video of the quiz to Facebook, which garnered millions of views. Ellen saw it and wanted to have this teacher on her show.

What makes this video fun to watch is just how animated and at ease Dombrowski is in front of the cameras, and his love for his students shines through.

Since he teaches at a low-income school, Ellen had a surprise for him in the end.
