When Ritter's interview went viral online in 2014, he caught the attention of Ellen's team and became a frequent guest.
Ritter and Grandpa Jack revealed they met A-list stars such as Jennifer Garner, Sofia Vergara, Ariana Grande, Jim Carrey and Bill Clinton all because of his viral video.
To this day, the pair still create YouTube videos together highlighting their day to day life and reviewing new films.

Ritter is one of many children who DeGeneres helped catapult into stardom.
