Unaware of the blunder and completely absorbed by texting on his phone, the boy looks up to realise he's on a live broadcast.
He then backward steps out of the room and sidles out the door in an attempt to go unnoticed.
However, the three-second cameo was quickly picked up by amused viewers who took to social media to share their thoughts.
"I’m now changing my support to this young man. Completely cool and unflappable under pressure," one person wrote over Twitter.
"Such a graceful retreat. Well done lad," another man said.
Others were equally amused by the Count Dracula toy and postal truck sitting on Shapiro's bookshelf.
"The Count and the postal truck behind him on the shelf win too," one woman replied.
Shapiro retweeted the clip, writing: "I’m taking his phone away for 24 hours".
The hilarious encounter provided a moment of comic relief for viewers as the nation braces itself for a winner in the the 2020 election

In need of a second opinion, the toddler asked: “Mummy, where do you want this picture.

“Mummy, where do you want it?”
As the red-faced mum attempted to soldier on, BBC News’ Christian Fraser intervened and said: “Scarlett, I think it looks better on the lower shelf. It's a lovely unicorn.”
