Ten years after his viral moment as the “Apparently Kid,” Noah Ritter has recreated the iconic clip that shot him to fame. In 2014, a five-year-old Noah charmed viewers with his frequent use of the word “apparently” during an interview at the Wayne County Fair in Honesdale, Pennsylvania. Now 15, Noah returned to the same fair to recreate the interview, delighting fans with his nostalgia.
In a new interview with WNEP, Noah repeated his famous lines, saying, “And apparently, I’ve never been on live television before. And apparently my grandpa gives me the remote every time we watch the Powerball.” Reflecting on the experience, he said, “Feels pretty good, I feel nostalgic about it. Makes me reminiscent about being here, this exact spot 10 years ago.”
Since his viral debut, Noah has made several appearances on “The Ellen Show” and built a following on his YouTube channel, @theapparentlykid1968. His viral fame has also given him opportunities to meet celebrities like former President Bill Clinton, Jim Carrey, Jennifer Garner, and Ariana Grande.
Noah, who now sports long ginger hair, shared that he’s kept busy with school, sports, and his YouTube channel, where he frequently reviews movies with his granddad. Despite his growing responsibilities, Noah cherishes his annual visits to the Wayne County Fair, enjoying the rides, food, and animals. “See, I think I’ll come here every year, when they have it. I think I’ll keep the streak going,” he added.
It’s heartwarming to see Noah, who became famous for his endearing interview, grow into a well-rounded young man while staying connected to his viral roots.
