What Is ‘The Apparently Kid’ Doing Now 10 Years Later?

It's been 10 year since The Apparently Kid went viral for his hilarious appearance on a newscast at the Wayne County Fair. What's he up to now?

He still looks pretty similar to the way he did 10 years ago. Now, his red hair is a bit longer and his voice is now a little deeper, as well.

For 10 years, Noah Ritter has been known as "The Apparently Kid" after he was on the news doing a detailed report about the Wayne County Fair in Scranton, Pennsylvania. During the interview, he kept using the word "apparently" (often incorrectly) and he sounded so mature and beyond his age. So, what's he up to now? Jeremy Lewan of WNEP caught up with him where it all began!

Now, Noah is 15-years-old and is fondly remembering the time he went viral at the fair. He's still coming to the fair with his grandpa, Grandpa Jack, who was also there with him during the original video. The two of them seem to have a great relationship and have deep connections to the popular fair.

After Noah's appearance on the news, he quickly went viral and then had to do all the rounds in Hollywood. He appearing on Ellen (I hope she was nice to him!) several times and meeting many celebrities. He says he met Sofia Vergara, Bill Clinton, Chris Pratt, Jim Carrey, and more! Apparently, he was one lucky kid!

He was even a judge on ABC's The Toy Box! It was like Shark Tank for kids. I don't remember ever watching it or even hearing about it but if it's streaming anywhere I'd love to find it. I need more young Noah content in my life. He was a hilarious little kid!

He was living the dream for a while and he was only 8-years-old at the time he appeared on the ABC show, meaning he was 5-years-old when he was in that original viral video! Now? He says he's juggling school, football, and making YouTube videos. He's going into his Sophomore year of high school and it makes me feel very old. He plans on keeping his streak of going to the fair going...apparently. Check out the recent catch-up with Noah and his original viral video below. Looks like he's doing well! Hopefully, we'll see more of him again in the future!

What would you say are the best episodes of The Office? Everyone has their own opinion and list, but are there some we can all agree on?

The Office is without a doubt one of the greatest sitcoms of all-time. It was such a strong cast of characters who were all capable of making you laugh. Of course, nobody could do it quite like Michael Scott. There are so many iconic episodes and scenes to consider, but are these the 5 best episodes of The Office?

While everybody has their favorite episodes of the show, that doesn't mean they're necessarily the "best." There's an important difference there. For example, my favorite episode of South Park is "AWESOM-O" but I wouldn't say it's the best or greatest episode of the show (that would probably belong to "Scott Tenorman Must Die"). So, we must understand the difference between our personal favorites and what's the best. Personal biases must be put aside.

That was a challenge for me. Some of my favorite episodes and what I think are the best episodes of The Office aren't going to make the list. I have to put my bias aside and consider what the majority would deem to be the best of the best. Unfortunately, that meant my favorite episode "Gossip" (Season 6 Episode 1) won't be making the list. It kills me every time Michael calls Stanley's wife. Every single time. Likewise, "Gay Witch Hunt" (Season 3 Episode 1) didn't make the final 5 and will instead be an honorable mention. You really get a sense of Michael's ignorance in that episode and it's a great character builder that also has a ton of laughs at Michael's expense.

Despite a few of my favorite episodes not being included on the list, I stand by the final 5. I think the majority of fans would agree that these episodes deserve to be in the Top 10 and then where they fall within there is up for debate. I did do something kind of controversial, though. I'm counting the double-episodes as one episode. They're the same thing, just broken up in two-halves for the sake of time. To me, and this list, they are considered one singular episode. Don't like that? Create your own list! See what made the final 5 best episodes of The Office below! Do you agree?

I had to start the list with "Dinner Party." You can't talk about the best episodes of The Office without mentioning it. There are so many hilarious moments it feels like it's just one after the other. Who could forget Michael's infamous "Snip/Snap/Snip/Snap" and him totally botching the way he describes the wine. We learn a lot about Jan in the episode and get to see her true crazy side. There's also Michael's TV, his table, and more. It just might be the best episode of The Office.

If you love cringe comedy, then you probably enjoyed the "Scott's Tots" episode of The Office. Personally, I love it. However, some of my friends and family say it's too cringeworthy to watch! They feel too bad for Michael. While I understand that, you can't feel bad for Michael! He brought it on himself. It's so funny watching him realize what's about to happen and how he tries to get out of it. It's one of those cool moments where we the audience know what's about to happen but the characters in the scene don't and they build it up so well. It's pure Michael.

There are so many great moments in this episode that live on today. Dwight putting the dummy's face on his like Hannibal Lector remains a popular meme online. Michael singing the wrong part of "Stayin' Alive." Even the way they treat Stanley and botch his recovery is hilarious. Yes, it's a two-parter but it's worthy of being named one of the best episodes. It just doesn't get old.

The Office was still finding its groove and developing the characters during Season 1. Michael was a bit more annoying, had a different haircut, and the rest of the crew wasn't fully formed yet. Did Kevin even have a different voice? It sounds like it. However, there were still some gems in Season 1 that let us know this show was going to be funny. The best example of that comes with "Diversity Day" in Episode 2. It really shows Michael's ignorance and how he places trying to be funny over being politically correct or appropriate in the workplace. Even once a professional comes in to train them, he still doesn't understand what he did wrong and continues doing so. We really got a look at Michael Scott here.

Was Jim and Pam's wedding the best TV wedding ever? I think so! There was Michael and Pam's mom, Kevin's feet in the ice machine, and Andy's unfortunate injury. So much happened in these episodes and it still lives on today. In a way, it's different than a lot of other episodes because there's a lot of emotion to go along with the humor. We're finally seeing the greatest will they-won't they of all-time get married! The show really delivered on the wedding episode(s) for TV's greatest couple.
