5-year-old Noah Ritter won the hearts of millions of viewers because of his adorable interview by a local news reporter. Metro UK said that when WNEP-TV anchor Sofia Ojeda asked him during a live segment about the ride, Ritter's response was pure, adorable one-minute gold.
Noah was quoted as saying in that YouTube video, "It was great, apparently I've never been on live television before. I guess some times I don't watch the news, because I'm a kid, and apparently every time, apparently grandpa just gives me the remote after we watch the Powerball.
When Ojeda asked the precocious child again on what he though about the ride, he then takes the microphone and took over the broadcast. Displaying what appears to be a professional stance as he stood ramrod straight and faced the camera with a signature deadpan stare of a professional anchorman, Noah displayed his chops as a newscaster. At one point during the broadcast, he gestures to the ride using his palm as if he was a trained beat reporter.
"Well it was great because apparently you were spinning around, and apparently every time you get dizzy..."
Peppering his statements with his favorite word at least eight times, Noah described how he was "scared half to death" with e super slide and that it is his first time to be on live television.
Naturally, the child received a lot of invites from television shows. In his interview with "Today", Noah reveals that that he doesn't even know what "apparently" means, and how it's spelled. "No, I don't know how to spell apparently. I don't know what it means but I use it in, "Wow, this is apparently annoying.""
When asked about being a global sensation, he responded, "It's like being a thousand drops of heaven."
In another interview on ABC's "Good Morning America," Michael Strahan asked the soon-to-be kindergartner about his dream job when he grows up.
Strahan suggested, "I think you could be a TV news reporter, Noah. Would you consider that profession when you grow up?"
"No, I'm going to be a paleontologist," Noah replied.
Ritter looks forward to starting kindergarten this fall.
