A decade after his viral debut, the “Apparently Kid,” Noah Ritter, returned to the Wayne County Fair to recreate his iconic moment.
On August 4, WNEP released a video showing Noah, 15, reciting the memorable lines that first made him famous.
“And apparently, I’ve never been on live television before,” he jokingly said, imitating his 5-year-old voice, noting that his grandpa always hands him the remote when they watch Powerball.
The “Apparently Kid” said it felt great to say those words again in a WNEP microphone. He also felt nostalgic, recalling being in the same spot 10 years ago, according to PEOPLE.
Noah and his “Grandpa Jack” looked back on the period after Noah’s rise to fame when they often traveled to California for his appearances on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
During that time, the kid had the chance to meet celebrities such as Jennifer Garner, Sofia Vergara, Jim Carrey, Bryce Dallas Howard, and Bill Clinton.
These days, Noah has stepped back from Hollywood but continues to share his adventures with his grandpa online.
His grandpa noted that Noah keeps him young and always goes to the movies.
“Whenever a new movie comes out, we like to review it, and post it on my YouTube Channel,” Noah shared.
He added that he currently balances YouTube, school, football, track, and other activities. He is also getting ready to start driving as he approaches his sophomore year.
Whether or not he has a driver’s license, the teen plans to visit the fair with Grandpa Jack every year.
He said, “I wouldn’t trade my buddy for the world.”
He mentioned that he enjoys visiting the fair every year with his grandfather, who has attended since he was a boy.
They both enjoy the rides, the food, and seeing the animals. Noah intends to attend the fair annually as long as it remains a tradition.
Sofia Ojeda, the reporter who first interviewed him and now works as a news anchor at KPRC-TV in Houston, also celebrated the milestone on social media, Men’s Journal reports.
“10 years ago was such a fun time,” she posted on X, along with a crying laughing emoji.
The clip, shared on multiple social media platforms, including YouTube, garnered many positive comments.
Viewers expressed their appreciation for seeing how well Noah and his grandad are doing and praised Noah for becoming a pretty good young man.
Another commenter reflected on the original interview, highlighting its humor and the reporter’s reaction.
They noted that the “Apparently Kid” went viral for being his cute, authentic self. They added that seeing he’s still the same as a teenager is heartening.
