He is just too cool! Good job, J.

[@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!

Jeremiah is sooooo COOL‼️‼️‼️

[@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.....

[@OHMYPUMKINPIE]

Pure sweetness.

[@ChristianNewton11]

Love him! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 to his mom!

[@thomastoolcompanyllc.7349]

[@benjiebenjamin7810]

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

[@chadgiesing3874]

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

[@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.

[@EdwardArmstrong-y3f]

Parents .!!! Great job

[@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.

[@rickmasseur2008]

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

[@amoskatana702]

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

[@charleeceejay8543]

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

[@deeomoore]

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

[@Battshimself]

This kid is a super star.

[@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.

[@ladavis1959]

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

[@gigglesjumps2433]

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Loved this interview!❤❤❤
