“Apparently” this kid is still a straight Pennsylvania sensation – even a decade later.
A 5-year-old boy who went viral in 2014 for his adorable TV interview at the Wayne County Fairgrounds in Honesdale reappeared on camera over the weekend and gave viewers a blast of nostalgia.
Noah Ritter, now 15 and always known as “The Apparently Kid,” recited the famous lines for a local TV station that catapulted him to stardom — and led him to meet high-profile celebrities and even a ex president.
“And apparently, I’ve never been on live television before,” Ritter said Sunday in his best impression of his younger self. “Grandpa gives me the remote every time we watch Powerball.”
Ritter, who stands a few feet tall with hair a few inches longer, couldn’t help but crack a smile during the reenactment.
“It feels pretty good, I feel nostalgic about it,” he told WNEP as he stood next to his grandfather, Jack, who was with him during the 2014 instant classic interview that has amassed nearly 70 million views on YouTube.
“It reminds me of being here, in this very place 10 years ago.”
According to the station, over the past decade, Ritter has dated actors Jennifer Garner and Jim Carrey, pop star Ariana Grande, former President Bill Clinton and others. He would even appear on Ellen DeGeneres’ daily show.
His viral interview with WNEP lasted about 90 seconds — and during which he used the word “apparently” several times.
“I’ve never been on live television, I’ve never been on live television,” he said at the time while also holding the station’s microphone.
Television reporter Sofia Ojeda, who couldn’t stop laughing during the incredible sound bite, now works as a news anchor at KPRC in Houston.
“10 years ago was such a fun time,” the journalist tweeted along with a laughing emoji.
Ritter and his grandfather still have a close bond.
“Whenever a new movie comes out, we like to review it, post it on my YouTube channel,” Ritter told WNEP on Sunday.
“Now I’m juggling YouTube, school, track, soccer, a bunch of other things. I am going into my second year. I’m getting ready to drive.”
But no matter where life takes him, he said he’ll always find a way to make it to the Wayne County Fair.
“Coming here, enjoying the rides, enjoying the food, seeing all the animals and things like that,” Ritter said, per the station.
“Look, I think I’ll come here every year, when they have it. I think I will continue the series”.
