The current tensions have been inflamed by tough words from both sides as North Korea threatens to shoot a missile into the waters around the American territory of Guam.

With all the saber rattling going on, a new poll suggests that almost two-thirds of Americans view the pariah state as a "very serious threat."

Jimmy Kimmel hit the streets of Los Angeles to ask average Americans if they could find North Korea on a map. The results were not encouraging.
