OMG! This clip of this year’s Scripps National Spelling Bee champion, Evan O’Dorney, from VH1’s Best Week Ever is soooo funny. If I was the host of this show, I’d be laughing so hard that I’d probably get fired the next day.
Evan O’Dorney on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
OMG, can you say worst interviewee ever?!???!! Hahaha, why are all home-schooled kids so weird?!

Thanks Jared for the link!
Thanks for being a complete jagoff. Isn’t it apparent from the videos? Classic Asperger’s Syndrome all the way.
RE: Joshua
thanks for visiting! :)
how many ppl know the symptoms of classic asperger’s syndrome?! i only learned about it a couple of years ago because i know someone who has it.. but from the videos i wouldn’t know he has aspergers.. all i have to say is home schooling = socially awkward
HAHAHA WHAT AWEIRDO
Awkward sentence structures, testifying to a hard time expressing his thoughts in complete sentences. Man of little words for that big reason. “Stimming” with his hands. Misinterpreted as “rude” when it really is frustration.
And how do I know all of this? B/c I’m an Aspie too.
wow, weird.
Leave the kid alone, he’s CLEARLY autistic. He did a great job. Just going on the show would be a BIG DEAL for someone on the autism spectrum. I’m proud of him.
Love of numbers, socially awkward, glasses….
A nerd, God bless him!
Science now teaches us that Nerds, or those towards the right of the Autism spectrum, are born and not made.
As an aside, William’s syndrome is often touted as the opposite of Asperger’s. People who suffer from it seem to be the inverse of the Autistic: Socially precocious, but retarded.
You already heard what I had to say in church!
Anyone who blames Evan’s individuality on the fact that he is homeschooled is committing a logical fallacy.
Has anyone considered that his parents homeschool him because he is so different from the norm, and that, as so many comments indicate, he would suffer many unkind words and cruel treatment from the “normal” kids?
May the Lord preserve us all from that kind of normal.
So what if he’s different, he won the Scripps National Spelling Bee. How many kids get to do that? Not many and he did it, he proved that he could make something of himself.
Evan must’ve worked very hard and i think he deserves it. I’m sure he’s had to deal with some critisizm in his life and now he’s recognized. And not as a ‘wierdo’ or ‘nerd’.
Hi everyone, what was all that bad talk about Evan for.
You are all the ones sick. Just get yourselves things you enjoy.
You know, this crap happens to me as well and I’m sick of it – GET LIVES!!!
What is wrong with people, anyway Math IS FUN!
The kid is socially inept….another production of homeschool. You see it all the time. It has never been released that he has Asperger’s. What a crock anyway.
