Iconic ‘apparently kid’ recreates viral clip 10 years later and it's just as good

Noah Ritter - better known as 'the apparently kid' - has just recreated his famous interview 10 years later.

In 2014, a 5-year-old Ritter was visiting the Wayne County Fair in Pennsylvania with his Grandpa Jack when he was approached by local news station who were curious to hear about what he thought about the news.

However, Ritter seized the moment and declared his 'never, ever been on live television' before monologue.

"I've never been on live television before," he told the camera, adding that it was because he's 'just a kid'.

"Grandpa gives me the remote every time we watch the Powerball," he added.

The interview would go on to capture the hearts of the nation and go viral online, with Ritter earning himself the adorable moniker 'the apparently kid'.

A decade on from the interview, an older, wiser Noah has returned to his television roots and recreated the moment with WNEP in the very same spot at the fair on 4 August, exactly 10 years on from his interview.

Watch the clip below:

Now 15-years-old, Noah recreated his childlike voice to say his famous 'And apparently, I've never been on live television before' line, while stood next to his Grandpa Jack.

The reporter then asked Noah what it felt like to recreate his interview at the fair, with the teenager calling the moment 'nostalgic'.

"It feels pretty good," he said, adding: "I feel nostalgic about it. It makes me reminisce about being here in this exact spot 10 years ago."

Noah can no longer claim that he's never been on television anymore as the years following his apparently monologue saw the teenager appearing on the Ellen DeGeneres show and meeting a whole host of celebrities, including: Jennifer Garner, Sofia Vergara, Jim Carrey, Bryce Dallas Howard and Chris Pratt.

Which is quite the star-studded line-up.

In fact, Noah's brushed shoulders with so many famous faces that he often forgets everyone he's met, with the reporter reminding him about an encounter with pop-star Ariana Grande.

"Almost forgot about her," he joked.

Despite now being a busy high school student juggling his studies, extracurricular activities and learning to drive, Noah still makes time every year to visit the fair with his grandpa and promised to keep the family tradition going.

"I wouldn't trade my buddy for the world," he said of his grandpa.

Viewers were equally touched by the clip and Noah's close bond with his grandpa, with one person calling his grandparents 'living angels'.

"Noah seems like an absolute class act. Really genuine vibes," a second person commented, while a third added: "How did this get MORE wholesome?"
