Apparently Kid Went On Ellen, And It Was Fantastic
He's gotten over the word "apparently". Now he's into "seriously".
It’s been a month since five-year-old Noah Ritter, aka ‘Apparently Kid’, gave a televised interview on WNEP-TV that sent the internet’s heart a-flutter. After clocking up 15 million views, Ellen asked him onto her program last night. And it turns out he’s still incredible at TV.
In the two-part interview, Ellen presses him on issues that range from fame to dinosaurs to time spent in kindergarten. “It’s very hard to concentrate on what you’re going to learn,” he muses on the latter topic. “After holding me there — I don’t know how many hours, probably like eleven hours — it’s like I was in prison for ten days. Five days? That’s a week,” he quips. “Ten days? A YEAR.”
And don’t even get him started on bus drivers. “I’m like, why can’t they just park at my home? He has to park at the bus stop, and I’m walking down the side walk with my grandparents, and I’m like, Oh my gosh, my legs hurt. And then when I finally get home, I’m like UHHHH. I sit down on my couch, and then that’s the end of pain.”
I sit down on my couch, and then that’s the end of pain. This kid knows it.

In the second clip below, Noah calls out his mum’s boyfriend for raiding the hotel mini-bar: “THIS guy — grandpa, RIGHT HERE,” he says, yelling and pointing like a tiny Paul Giamatti. “HE’S the one that was going to the bar.”
And then Ellen brings a dinosaur into the studio. “I’m pretty sure that’s a guy in a costume,” he deadpans. Five years old.
