Kiran Chetry CNN Spelling Champ interview

[Mengster13]

No offense to this kid, but he seems to be autistic. What that kind of vocabulary, he should have amazing public speaking skills.

[MrsCaliyah]

he is sooooooo annying with his smat ass answers i can see why he doesn't go to public schools they would slap the jack out him

[RatedArggg]

He should have received socializing lessons along with his spelling lessons, if he really has Asperger's. They can learn them. They're unbearable when they don't. Just a fact.

[boobieviolator123]

Please ladies, hold back your orgasms.

[Counterbrilliance]

I'm so sorry but if I had a kid like this I'd honest to God have to pull a Chris Benoit, I really would.

[wildcats520]

@Counterbrilliance It's not the kid's fault; it's the parent's. They home school him which gives him absolutely no social life whatsoever. He is obviously extremely awkward to be around due to this. Many other home schooled kids are like this (not all)

[sirshitsalot007]

JESUS CHRIST the reporter is NOT the hot!!! she looks like michael jackson, GOD!!!!

[flamed65]

"were you surprised that you won?"

"...n-not really."

[intercitty]

I mostly feel bad for all the kids here, talking shit about an autistic kid, in order to make them selves feel better.. their self esteem must be in the shitter..

[bgoshafted]

Stop hating on this poor kid. He has Asperger's, a type of autism, but he's really smart. He goes to Harvard now and is taking graduate level math already. He could easily go to Wall Street and make more than all of you combined.

[144lady144gaga144]

this kid can spell big words imp

[Chadwick914]

I don't think he's ever done a pushup in his life

[TheMJStevens]

To be fair though, the questions she asked him were a little hard to answer. Honestly, "did you get to eat your tuna sandwich?" How do you answer that without sounding awkward?

Or "what was the first thing your mom said?" I'd be like "um...I don't remember...congratulations?"

Seriously, before you all make fun of him for having no social skills I'd like to hear how YOU would answer those questions.

[LoneST4RxBDS]

socially challenged dousche, jst saying

[koowilliams]

why are you guys saying this kid goofy, nerdy, virgin...??? what if he's your son... you like your son to have people call him that way...??

[TheRayfield77]

I wonder if this kid is autistic?

[theaisian623]

Trollolo!!!!!! Qweer

[username3585]

yeah this kid most definitely is on the spectrum, but he's achieved this huge win and that's awesome

[HindiIII]

He should have asked her for a lap dance.

[MOTat18]

Come to think of it, I wouldn't be surprised if he was autistic. Functionally, that is. Aren't they more particular and tend to focus down on one thing?

[MGMGDDSS]

is he special??

[o0DarkMatter0o]

I'm petty sure he's autistic people. At the absolute least he's on the spectrum.

[SusieCruisie]

She's a true professional--she remained completely gracious even when the kid was being a brat. Would like to be happy for him, but sheesh, little boy, you're obnoxious.

[mario51man]

@SusieCruisie he can't help it.....dude he obviously has autism or some disorder

[low72]

whether or not the kid got to eat a tuna sandwich from subway is a legitimate question to get aired nationally?

wtf?

[LegallyRetardedProd]

Oh dear god the poor poor little nerd

[Modern4ngel]

LOL! goofy kid

[xerxes106]

Man, quit saying he has Aspbergers just because he's awkward. He's a huge tool because he's home schooled not because of a disease.....

[PinStripes41]

@xerxes106 no, it's def because of the disease you dumb fuck...and most likely that's prolly why he's home schooled too dipshit

[HiserJames]

Ugh. If he ever leaves that home-school nest this kid'll get eaten alive. Mom, I need social skills.

[denys55]

How is he supposed to spell it when she doesn't pronounce it right? Do your homework sweet cheeks.

[CDaae]

holy crap!!!!! tool is an understatement!!!!

[slrpea]

wow.. bunch of people jumping the gun here.. most likely aspergers, or some high functioning autism. get a clue, some of you people. maybe a lot of your parents did you a disservice by not getting you educated enough.

[Thetruth000070]

@slrpea well said

[HealthyShadeOfGreen]

I thint k the kid has Asberger's Syndrome, a form of autism. I am surprised that his parents let him do the interview alone.

[Thetruth000070]

@HealthyShadeOfGreen

You're probably right on the Asberger's. Again, I am ashamed to call myself an American with all the negative comments coming form all of these ignorant pricks! YOU ARE THE PROBLEM ASSHOLES!!!!

[msknighttime]

My kids are really bright but I make sure they get around other kids, watch TV, can hold a conversation. I believe the parents did an injustice to him and kids like him.....what is going to hapen to him when he's an adult. How is he going to communicate with others. I find it sad, really.

[mj23allday247]

Why are these spelling bee champions always so awkward?

[wolf432]

Everyone can make fun of him but i think hes actually autistic.

[VoiceofReason2012]

He'll be in a clock tower/school cafeteria/ spelling with bullets shorty... Keep him away from people!

[Fabulousitist]

whats up with hands?

[sabbatha1]

I think it's great that he can spell, but social skills count for a lot. I'm glad my kid is just sort of ordinary.

[Fabulousitist]

@sabbatha1 I agree. I'd rather have a child that would be the worst speller in the world and actually be ...well, the opposite of what this kid is.

[PeaceLoveBOTDF]

THIS KID HAS TO BE RETARDED!!!!!!!!!! he is so socially awkward! WTF ASK MY MOM? Her question clearly was what did your mom say to you! This boy is supposed to be the King Of Words????? what is America coming to???? Do i smell a 30 year old virgin.....I think its time for this kid to step out his moms virgina and get a scent of the real world

[AnythingGoesmegusta]

@PeaceLoveBOTDF hahahah amen! jesus homeschooled kids. arrogant, retarded, awkward, no manners,

[BarkinPeach]

@AnythingGoesmegusta

,and he won a national spelling bee,

ill bet your fat assed video game playing kids grow up to be shmoes.

its people like evan that become artists and inventors.

[AnythingGoesmegusta]

@BarkinPeach so what? he spent countless hours studying the dictionary to win it. hes a good speller ok. you don't know shit about me. everything I pointed out are characteristics of this kid. PS> check out my vids its my band

[cleyoung]

Not likely to advance the case for home schooling.

[Thetruth000070]

@cleyoung

You are all idiots mocking this child! He obviously has some level of autism!!! The fact that this kid is probably smarter than every one of you who mock him shows how sad a state America is in!!!!

[DaLeving]

@Thetruth000070 i doubt the kid has autism, he is very shy talking to beautiful women lol

[snakeXL7]

They probably should have given him the interview questions a month beforehand so he could study them.

[snakeXL7]

"Um . . . I prefer homeschooling because I talk like I'm high and have a slightly effeminite demeanor and tend to be sarcastic and snarky."

Don't worry about her getting your name wrong kid. People are going to forget it 10 seconds after the interview anyway.

[quicksilverbalt]

the whole interview is awkward as hell but at the end of the day he'll always be socially challenged and she will be very bangable.

[unicursalhex]

Serrefine how easy was that fucking word for the win

[Chuckclc]

Poor kid, parents should be shot. Of course he prefers home school, wouldnt stand a chance in the real world, thanks dad!

[Houseofthe7gayboys]

This kid is either autistic or whatcha call it....Ass Burger Syndrome?

[MrRightguard56]

The bitch needed help lifting the damn trophy from the guy who gave it to him.

[hunter6494]

first date:

woman: so what do you do?

him: I spell, wait where are you going?

[dxrules52]

ohh hes one of THOSE kids

[StickyWaffle691]

I am the first guy of future to post ftw ge me to hot page

[StickyWaffle691]

First fuk u andrea

[browneyed80]

@Raymanx21

[FeelinTheNerve]

i would fuck the shit out of that news announcer

[covertsniperr96]

Not all of us homeschoolers are like this, mind you. This kids a prick, I've been homeschooled all my life and I could never dream of acting the way he did in this interview

[KrazyKrzysztof]

at 1:45 he's about to have a panic attack lol

[ANeonTiger]

I feel like the fucking Fonz compared to this kid.

[TheFutureComingSoon]

Looks like being home schooled effecected someones socail skills.

[ThatVirtualGuy]

@TheFutureComingSoon you spelled social wrong, kez...

[Mrjimmy498]

LOL at 4:43 hes all like oh my god i got the question wrong life is not worth living

[KingWildCAN]

What a fucking mongloid. I can't imagine how this woman held a smile throughout the entire interview.

[hmarsh95]

Poor kid

[MrRebeccaSlumber]

4:41 - yeah, eat it kid

[MrRebeccaSlumber]

and with that, he cemented his place as virgin for life

[Unit1262]

@MrRebeccaSlumber Yep, his soul is forever lost in the sea of virginity...

[okpapereat]

if he was going to a public school, these kinda kids usually get picked on by bullies, dorky smart ass noobies

[N00bZsT4R]

DONT SHOW THE BOY, IM HERE FOR THE NEWS ANNOUNCER! SHE IS HOT!

[TheBennyHundreds]

thumbs up if you felt awkward as fuck watching this.

[AndrewDangerously]

Love how he ruins her shameless subway promotion.

[wittenberg5]

This kid just won an intel science competition for uncoding a previously unsolved math problem. He is also a musician, and he is going to harvard. What do you fucktards do besides make nasty comments on youtube? Do you not realize that everything you enjoy in life, from computers to rocketships to fucking YOUTUBE comes from people like this? Did you know that a nerd cured polio? If you assholes got hit by a train tommorrow,the world would be the same but we cant same that for geniuses. recognize

[Gaboyaa]

@wittenberg5 No one cares if he's a nerd. People don't like him because he was being a completely ignorant and rude douchebag. I don't care if he has a mental problem, mental kids don't act like dicks like he did.

[snakeXL7]

@wittenberg5 It has nothing to do with him being smart. He's getting called out because he was kind of a prick.

[2011BearBait]

@snakeXL7 Social retard is a more apt description.

[wigimanXx]

shouldnt she be cleaning?

[THEJBUDS]

this reporter is thinkin holy fuck this kid is stupid as shit

[THEJBUDS]

he cant even speak sounds like hes autistic 

[symbiote102]

I thought she said "feller" lol

[theaisian623]

Thus kid is a know it all qweer

[LucindaCraigbert]

hahaha he looks like he got poked in the ass and it was dry because it hurt him when he took that deep breath. and everytime he said dictionary he looked like he was having an orgasm.

[gabepootser24]

i HATE this noob hes soo stupid hes all like "Did you say my stupid name wrong derderder ?"My stupid name is evan fartdorney" ok ok ok im hating and all but guys this guys a stupid homeschooled nerd

[bettythorny]

SHE'S the one that deserves a trophy for putting up with this shit

[xkyle567x]

this kids a fucking faggot...

[SuperHombre6969]

no comment

[ChristianMission]

People on here are obviously jealous of this young man's intelligence. He's now also a math competition champion. Home schooling is the best.

[droedup92]

@ChristianMission ya homeschooling is the best, youll have a smart kid at the cost of being a socially awkward retard sounds great! Because we all now socially awkward kids get treated so well by other kids!

[ChristianMission]

@droedup92 , research on homeschooling show no difference in socialization skills between home-schools and traditionally-schooled children, and some studies have found home-schooled children to have better communication and social skills than those in traditional schooling.

[droedup92]

@ChristianMission Evan O'dorney is a fine example of that.

[SkizzyMcfrazzlepop]

@ChristianMission Right. Research by home schooled wieners.

[bettythorny]

@ChristianMission LMFAO

[symbiote102]

@ChristianMission Yeah, but his personality is fucking horrible.

[kd7zbx]

smug little punk...

[335suzuki]

I thought Incestry made people LOSE braincells

[jacmcja]

i knew homeschooled kids are always creepy...

[Chubzdoomer]

I like how the little pipsqueak starts looking around the room when she says, "Alright then, you'd better get your mom!" as if she's being serious. This kid has NO social skills at all. This is homeschooling and putting too much focus on education in a nutshell. Goddamn, this is sad to watch.

[Chubzdoomer]

The chances of this kid getting laid are the same chances I have of ever finding a job in this shithole economy.

[DJHx1]

poor kid the parents have made this kid into a unsocial robot

[SolarBlade52]

You guys are only making fun of him just to feel better about yourselves.

[SolarBlade52]

@VincentMelnik

Trolls will be trolls.

[Chubzdoomer]

@SolarBlade52 Yeah, that's totally it. It isn't that we can see he's clearly socially retarded or anything. No, that can't be it. We just want to feel better about ourselves by saying things here on YouTube! I guess what I'm really trying to say is: Fuck off.

[SolarBlade52]

@Chubzdoomer

Right Back at ya, buddy.

[Chubzdoomer]

@SolarBlade52 We've both been fucked off! SUNUVA. Ok, ok, YOU WIN.

[serenity6831]

Anyone know what he has that makes him kind of...awkward

[krishna9294]

He lives in Danville.... Phineas and Ferb probably helped him cheat.......

[modogg2279]

they should have told him to spell negus!

[gasparavila7]

WELL NOW HE GOES TO HARVARD!

[bettythorny]

@gasparavila7 Thank God I don't

[greenmonster4411]

being the best at a spelling bee is like being the best at the special olympics.

[bissbarot]

GEEEEEK!!!!!!!........

[Gytax0]

They shouldn't let autistic kids participate there.

[zwiiyt]

now we know why he only spells words and not sentences.

[FlectarnCelt]

The guy sounds retarded, ungrateful and is evidently lacking in people skills.

[Gytax0]

@FlectarnCelt I think a retard wouldn't be able to win the Spelling Bee.

[Gytax0]

@FlectarnCelt Sorry, I take my words back after watching the whole video.

[FlectarnCelt]

@Gytax0 lol No worries mate :)

[Raymanx21]

would clap the dem cheeks of the reporter

[scatcoitusmoosic]

He's not retarded. He just didn't want to answer these stupid questions. 

[Chubzdoomer]

@scatcoitusmoosic Wrong. He didn't have the ABILITY to properly answer these questions. I think it's pretty damned obvious the kid has almost no social skills.

[poopasoreass]

Hello virginity.

[TheHio123]

Scombridaeeeuuhh?? IS it Scombridaauouaoa?

[mrfgwankee]

hahahaha

[B1indFremen]

It looks like her bottom lip is being pulled down by a piece of string.

[stepwithme1]

He sounds like he's a bit slow.

[WastedYears0]

That reporter is retarded, she was pronouncing it wrong the whole time.

[Dproncs]

Did you say Scombridae Or Scombridae

[ItsOurShowFTW]

BISA!!!!

[brandonplma]

Damn this kid is a fuckin faggot

[z0mgz0rs]

@brandonplma Couldn't have said it better. Fuck that faggot.

[MrMakTasty]

I'll give him a chance. A chance TO DIE!!!

[mlg20cal]

come on give him a chance don't be hatin' !!

[JessikahAznBabyy]

No you're not. No one's McLovin. McLovin's never existed because that's a made up dumb FUCKING FAIRY TALE NAME, YOU FUCK!

[XPsychoBurgundyX]

WOW... This kid makes ME look like a socialite in comparison.

[Filbertfriend]

I don't think he's trying to be a prick, he obviously doesn't have any social skills and probably leads a pretty secluded life.

[cheeseyleesey]

he might be clever, but hes still a prick

[reak1982]

Reporter should have just sat there with a bikini without interviewing anyone.

[paperboi66]

the reporter did a good job avoiding the awkwardness and acting like she was interested. and dammm she's foinnnne

[metaltilim60]

lolololololololololllol

[ceilingkatt]

the reporter is so fucking hot

[fightinside1]

you guys should not be making fun of this kid. how would you like to be autistic? my brother is autistic so i understand how they think, and this kid's lack of social skills is a perfectly normal aspect of autism. he may not be a good conversationalist, but at least he's smarter than any one of you will ever be!

[Quantumpencil]

i meant also a talented (musician), not mathematician

[Quantumpencil]

Just so you guys know, this kid might be the most talented mathematician in the world (Having solved two unsolved problems in Mathematics by age 14), and he's also a pretty talented Mathematician. He's a student here at Harvard now and he's the "wonderkid" of the freshman class. He's awkward because of his medical condition but he has more talent than all of you combined. Don't hate

[badexperiment]

@Quantumpencil yeah ill fucking kill him.

[shiverunit]

0:47 DERPP

[thyago81]

lol it's a young kid, what do you expect? and even that young he made the woman look like an idiot, terrible interviewer, cute, but bad

[animalsj07]

"You got it right!!! There it is!!!" ..."Oh wait, no".

That must be a major let down.

[NuixHD]

He sounds like steven hawking that has his batterys on low

[NuixHD]

Evan o'Dork-y ?

[cguido19]

i thought you said scomburdae....... uuuuuhhhhhhhhh your pretty!

[kristofferbt]

asperger's?

[ironkong0011]

k-i-s-s m-y  a-s-s n-e-r-d

[IcyHot311]

Well yes, he does have aspergers syndrome. Tons of kids are affected by the sydrome every day. I think it is pretty obvious he has it...or at least to me it was. (: That's why he's "awkward" or whatever, and I think that's perfectly fine....this is more interesting then the fakeness of usual interviews! It makes me laugh(:

[hespelledyalewitha6]

He may be awkward, but you know what? He's better than all of you pathetic losers talking shit anonymously over youtube. Give him a break, none of you neanderthals could ever dream of winning a fucking spelling bee. Losers, all of you!!!!

[frerardxmcr]

He spelled the word wrong.

Most awkward interview ever :P

[sfbubbadog]

I LIKE TUTTLES

[cookies421]

@sfbubbadog its not funny anymore if u spell it wrong buddy..

[sfbubbadog]

@cookies421 im just spelling it they way he said it, "buddy"

[Gigloronosonophonica]

That set of teeth reminds me of Donkey from the Shrek series.

[bmxjeffdood]

this kid is hilarious he made her look like such an ass and he didn't even realize it lmfao

[IndividualParties]

bahahahahahahahaha, I think this is the only time he'll ever have the attention of a woman. Poor thing.

[MistahFen]

The most socially awkward kid on the planet. Doesn't mean he's not a genius, it probably means he's more of a genius because he doesn't bother going out and learning human interaction.
