[@davidbellamy1403]

Amazing kid! I've watched many of his interviews with NFL stars, and he asks better, more informed questions than some of the big-name ESPN "experts".

[@namastemcl]

[@homeinthecountry2]

He is a walking blessing and an amazing young man!! I smiled the entire interview. So well spoken and yes, the emphatic "No's" were hilarious!! Great job Jeremiah and you too Momma!!

[@kevinharris3993]

Jeremiah is a walking miracle and a perfect example of when man says no, God says yes. My prayers for Jeremiah are long healthy life and that he will continue following in the image of the Lord that healed him.

[@terin1862]

He is more intelligent and well spoken than "adults" twice his age. Kudos to mom for raising him well.😊

[@deniseeugene1852]

Exactly ! Like his expressive language skills are off the chain. Like Biden he overcame speech language issues .

[@Mukasa.S.Mike1]

Even adults twice his age are considered very young 😀

[@malloryrohrlick860]

Jeremiah is excellent at what he does! I was impressed and enjoyed his interviews preceding the Super Bowl. I wish him all the success because he deserves it! In this interview, the questions about dating…🙄Jeremiah conducts himself better than that in his interviews👏🏻👏🏻 can’t wait to see more from him in the future!

[@sonyadrake7843]

There was no need for the dating ☑️ Gayle, Vlad and the co-host. 😒 Jeremiah wasn't there for that!

[@monicapaluski2512]

He is a sweetheart and a great interviewer.

[@deloresthomas5624]

Jeremiah made my day!! He is so talented and definitely will continue to achieve his goals.

[@Notimp0rtant523]

Man. This feller could serve as an inspiration to people of all ages.

[@kristinemunholland8980]

He's amazing, the most informed sports interviewer you are likely to see. He knows everything when he has the opportunity to speak with these heroes of his. What a class act. And Gayle, he already interviewed Mahomes this year at the SB. I love that at 11 he's talking about having a career. Darling.....

[@brendabertsch9352]

Well I'm going to take my vitamins so I can live long enough to see him on TV!

[@antreaserobinson7995]

[@catlover7166]

What a great kid!

[@trinjuwan4422]

He is one of God's chosen...anointed to do what "man" claimed he could'nt do. A Gift...Glory to God❤🎁👑💯🙏🏽

[@PJCogan]

All that man could come up with was “are you dating?” Seriously?

[@sonyadrake7843]

@ 5:12 Gayle 🙄 asked him first, then Vlad (do you want to though) 🤔 and then the Co-host saying she has a 10 YO 🤯 Jeremiah wasn't having ANY of it NO! 🤨😒😤

[@nancykabui9970]

It’s sad how people want to corrupt young children so quickly and get them thinking of things that are meant to be for adults. I enjoyed the interview but didn’t like the dating stuff. Just saying.

[@melindaostergren8115]

His interview with Mahomes was excellent; if you haven’t seen it definitely check it out. He and Mahomes “built” their dream teams by position. The only rule was no current KC players were allowed. He definitely won Mahome’s respect with his knowledge and poise.

[@benjiebenjamin7810]

He's so adorable ❤. His personality & bright young mind has a bright future 😊.

[@charleeceejay8543]

America loves Jeremiah and rightfully so. What a great kid.

[@LyndonJames-o6n]

Respect!!!

[@dikembeafrika8918]

Thank you mama Jeremiah, for looking after this child so well♥️ We salute you♥️♥️♥️

[@OHMYPUMKINPIE]

Pure sweetness.

[@ChristianNewton11]

Love him! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 to his mom!

[@WandaLewis-mr3ck]

My favorite journalist…Jeremiah. I love this young man. I pray that The Lord continue to bless you and your family ❤❤❤

[@ladavis1959]

Lord has blessed that child😇🥰 I’m grateful that we get to watch him excel

[@chadgiesing3874]

I watched him before. He is very awesome what he does. Thank the lord him and his mom alive

[@deeomoore]

Thank you God for Jeremiah 🙏🏾, an inspiring young man he is.

[@danielarthur2329]

This brother is a blessing to us all

[@pulejohannesthantsha8212]

This smart young man career is amazing, what a great example to most young kids out there. Wow

[@p.wilder7050]

Every now and then God Breaks that Mold.

[@gigglesjumps2433]

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Loved this interview!❤❤❤

[@amoskatana702]

Bless your soul, super sports journalist, Jeremiah. With love from Kenya ❤

[@Battshimself]

This kid is a super star.

[@katherinebrooks7273]

👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍 Awesome Young Man. God Has Great Things in Store for You. This is a Gift that Only He can Give. When Man said No, God said Yes. No doubt You are an Amazing Reporter, Only God knows whats coming Next. Stay Prepared. You are Awesome.

[@dikembeafrika8918]

Amazing Jeremiah. How great is this? Someone out there say Hallelujah!

[@sattooh]

Jeremiah is an excellent interviewer. I enjoy watching his journeys. Best going forward.

[@rickmasseur2008]

His interview-turned-fantasy picks with Mahoms was great.

[@stevenlau79]

In few more years this kid will be a pro sport interviewer ! ESPN, NFL, NBA you better get this kid early !

[@EdwardArmstrong-y3f]

Parents .!!! Great job

[@kathystewart8871]

Such an Amazing young man. So Proud of you. GOD Blessed You.

[@hillb4642]

Loved the interview. I didn't get the joke about are you dating yet. Even though he is mature their is no need to say that to a child.

[@sonyadrake7843]

Exactly! 👏🏾

[@seanscommentary]

the little guy is an entertainer. he clearly knows comedy, and he was playing with them too. that's why it was so funny. he has a high IQ, like a lot of child performers.

[@DAVMARGLO]

You are indeed a walking blessing son J

[@ferrolblair1552]

So proud of this young man very Intelligent he's so poise.Blessings upon you Son and your families🙏🙏💓💓

[@bernadetterousseau284]

He could teach the British tabloid "journalists a thing or two.

[@charleshenry8194]

I love the fact that his mom still chose to give birth and he is grateful to be here. He knows everyday being alive is a blessing and since he can’t play sports the next best thing is to commentate. And he definitely does his research and asks actual sports questions. He definitely can be a sideline reporter for a team unless he decides to also start watching other sports .And he is living out his name which means God is exalted. These people were joking but yeah young man no girlfriend needed any time soon.
