"I don't watch the news, because I'm a kid," kindergartener Noah Ritter told his local Pennsylvania news team during an interview in 2014. However, after this iconic interview that received nearly 43 million views online, more people will probably watch the news now.
When a television reporter asked young Ritter what he thought of a ride at their county fair that day, apparently he really liked it. "Because, apparently, you're spinning around, and apparently every time you get dizzy, so all you do is get dizzy," he said. "And I've never, ever been on live television."
Ellen DeGeneres was the first to get the Internet famous "apparently" kid on her show that same year, where he told her, "This is my first time on a talk show!" And it wouldn't be his last. He continued to appear on her show as a regular guest and even received his own segments where he had plenty of honest things to say. While interviewing actress Sofia Vergara, he even told her, "I never watch Modern Family. It's not a cartoon show!"
Ritter's sincere honestly got him a spot on two seasons of ABC's television show The Toy Box, where kids judge toymakers' inventions for a once in a lifetime chance to be made by Mattel — and the cartoon-loving kid saw some pretty cool inventions. "A cannon that shoots candy? Who wouldn't want that?" He told one of the designers, and we completely agree.
