Kid orator Dalton Sherman of Dallas will emote on Thursday's Ellen DeGeneres Show

Dallas fifth grader Dalton Sherman climbs another step on the celebrity rung Thursday with an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show (3 p.m. locally on NBC5).

Sherman, 10, a student at Charles Rice Learning Center, won the Gardere Martin Luther King Jr. Oratory Competition last January. He's since orated before many other audiences and, of course, on youtube. But this will be his first national TV appearance.
