Though he makes sure to let everyone know that this is his first time on live TV, he totally nails it, turning an otherwise ordinary segment into a delightful minute of pure entertainment. “I don’t watch the news because I’m a kid,” he explains, “and apparently every time Grandpa gives me the remote I have to watch the Powerball.” So he doesn’t _watch_ the news much — but he should totally get his own news show because we’d watch every minute of it. Also, be sure to take note every time he uses the word “apparently” which, apparently, is his all-time favorite word. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3082741/apparently-kid-takes-over-local-news-interview/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3082741/apparently-kid-takes-over-local-news-interview/"},"headline":"Watch This Hilarious Little Kid Completely Steal the Show During a TV News Segment","datePublished":"2014-08-05T16:17:42.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:12:11.728Z","description":"Somebody give him his own show immediately","url":"https://time.com/3082741/apparently-kid-takes-over-local-news-interview/","keywords":["Newsfeed","viral","kids"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt9d7334823907030c/69869e6a13c79fed46193578/screen-shot-2014-08-05-at-11-39-52-am.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt9d7334823907030c/69869e6a13c79fed46193578/screen-shot-2014-08-05-at-11-39-52-am.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Screen Shot 2014-08-05 at 11.39.52 AM","caption":"","creditText":"","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3082741/apparently-kid-takes-over-local-news-interview/","name":"Watch This Hilarious Little Kid Completely Steal the Show During a TV News Segment"}}]}] ```
