- Airdate: Friday, December 18, 2015. Hattie Cheek and Brittany Hoke talk to Roger Larck, otherwise known as 'Santa' by Sophie Jo Riley, who spotted him while shopping in Wal-Mart. The video went viral. Larck talks about his love for kids and the importance of keeping the Christmas magic for them alive.
*I don't care what he says or what anybody else says. This man is Santa Claus!* 🎅
Ho Ho Ho! Can you still upload videos today during covid??
December 17th Thursday 2020 I agree with you !!! He sure is Santa 🎅 Clause !!! I showed my 5 year old granddaughter the video of the three year old little girl talking to Santa 🎅 and my granddaughter got so excited and happy and she said “I knew it , I knew that Santa was real” and she ran to my daughter in-law and said “mom look , Santa 🎅 is real after all “ she was so excited and happy that it made my eyes water !!! My daughter in-law got upset with me and said “ how many times do I have to tell you to stop 🛑 feeding my daughter lies so for the first time in 7 years, I snapped back , she’s a child , not a 30 year old miserable woman who the neighbors hate and two stores have told you not to come back because your mean to cashiers and think that everyone is beneath you when it’s my son that makes you think your a princess !!! Remember you are living in my house and my my sons money but I pay all the the bills to my home !!! This is not your home !!! You are a guest here and if your a princess , then I’m the the Queen and I’ll finally throw you out of my castle , but I noticed that my granddaughter was off to the side listening and watching so I added that’s why Santa 🎅 never visits because he doesn’t like you because you keep saying he’s not real “ she was in shock because in 7 years I have never answered her back but Mr. Roger Lar also gave me a Christmas 🎄 present 🎁 and that was the nerve to finally put her in her place even if my son gets up set !!! Why shouldn’t children believe in Santa 🎅 and enjoy opening gifts 🎁 from Santa 🎅 and why shouldn’t children enjoy Peter Pan and all the good old fashioned wonderful fairy 🧚♀️ tales ??? They are children for just a few years !!! They are innocent and charming and have every right to smile and laugh and enjoy because too rapidly they become adults and the grind of a long life of getting a good education and a great profession and working fifty years before they are free again , begins along with bills and taxes etc !!! An hour lat my granddaughter came upstairs and gave me a hug and said “ thank you grandma , mom said I can have a Christmas 🎄 tree with the beautiful lights and full of all the decorations like we see when we go shopping and she said I can sit on you lap on the rocking by the fire place and falls asleep and you’ll fall asleep then Santa 🎅 Clause will come but when have to leave cookies and milk for the reindeer “ So I told her , “now you see that Santa IS REAL and he’s already making your dreams come true “ and she gave me the biggest smile that I have ever seen in her five year old years !!! So thank you Mr. Rodger Lar ... um ... I mean ... thank you Santa 🎅 !!!
❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️🥰🥰🥰🎅🎅🎅🎄🎄🎄🎁🎁🎁🤗🤗🤗
Im one of his grandsons
@@nicholaskemper642 Really ? His grandson ? Is

My granddaughter thinks he’s the real Santa 🎅 !!! Your a lucky person to be his grandchild !!! ❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️🥰🥰🥰😊😊😊🤗🤗🤗🎅🎅🎅
He's Santa for sure. 💕
this dude ain't fooling me for a second. i know he's Santa. he is just playing it off.
❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️🎅🎅🎅
Yeah you ain't fooling us with your Christmas tricks, Santa
SANTA ISN'T REAL
@@bernardinovelazquez2782 wrong, you pitiful thing.
@@bernardinovelazquez2782 LIAR!! 😂
He's the real santa! the looks, the way he talk, and he's kind too
i'd like to meet his Mrs. Claus
I don't care what anyone says. That man is Santa.
He is not Santa, he is a really nice and heart warming human being, who appreciates other people around him and wishes the best for everyone.
@@RuLeZ1988 That's Santa's... 😂
He is Santa but disguised as a normal citizen
@@RuLeZ1988 For the little girl he was why is that not ok with u and other people
@@lathafalls7675 Its okey for me, if other people see him as Santa. I just wanted to emphazise that behind all this love he shares, is a heart warming human being as well. That can sometimes remember us how good some human beings can be.
When I was a kid, this man’s voice is exactly how I heard Santa in my imagination.
You heard santa as American?? your brain was weird!
H😅😅😅
Looks like Santa, sounds like Mr. Rogers. I couldn't imagine a man like this could still exist. I hope he is well in 2023
Santa, you ain't fooling no one. Look at his demeanor, language, kind eyes and calm voice.
My dad had this happen to him a couple summers ago when he was at a restaurant. A boy kept turning and looking at him and pulling his mom's arm sleeve and saying it's Santa. Without missing a beat my dad said to the boy, "how else do you think I check in on you during the year". The boys eyes got bigger than his head. His mom thanked him as they were leaving.
GodBless u dad
Wow really
that is so sweet, the world needs more innocent moments like these
Love your story
That’s great! 🥹🎅🏻
He has the same demeanor as Mr Rogers, it's a rare soul with that much patience and gentleness with all people
I thought that JUST as I read your comment!!
Good lord, if only we had more people like both of them in this world...
Santa does a hell of an impression of this Roger Larck guy.
A soft spoken, humble, compassionate gentleman. The man has my respect.
The kindness of this man made me tear up. You can feel the love.
Oh my God! When he said: “Christmas, we know its all for the children but there is no reason, we can’t enjoy it too”! I got chills! Thats such a Santa Clause thing to say. Like straight out of a film. 😳 Then the end with the charity stuff.
What a kind man. I hope he lives a long happy life. He deserves it. 👍
Oh HE IS SANTA CLAUS FOR SURE. The kindness care sensitivity and such positive energy... not even a Great Actor can be on such loving Level of a Santa Claus. He is Santa for sure❤
that man has the spirit of Christmas in his heart...
Santa 🎅 has been real forever !!! Mr Rogers show was taken off because he wasn’t very nice after all !!!
Santa 🎅 on the other hand has elves that make presents 🎁 and magical angels that help the reindeer fly !!! And anyone with angels around them are eternally wonderful loving genuine generous and caring !!! This guy is the real Santa 🎅 Clause and I’d love 💕 to see a Christmas 🎄 movie about him !!!
Santa my granddaughter and I love 💕 you ever sooo much !!!
❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️🥰🥰🥰😊😊😊🤗🤗🤗
This man is a treasure. Protect him!!
He does have a very kind looks and aura, just like Santa
that is what war does to a man. ask bob ross.
Because he is Santa well kinda something like that...
Santa is real I am 48yrs old and I am proud to say I believe in Santa and that magic at Christmas 🎄 When I was little are my favorite memories.I love you Santa 🎅
I love Santa too ❤❤
I'm 68 and by golly, I still believe in Santa, what a wonderful man! Merry Christmas Santa!!
I'm 36 and I still believe in Santa as well as Sinterklaas and Zwatre Peit
Ok Im convinced - the real name of Santa Claus is Roger Larck. God bless this beautiful soul with good health and all happiness and prosperity.
He is everything I ever pictured as a child. From the way he talks (his accent) to how he holds himself. Literally everything I ever imagined.
The way he immediately squatted down to her level ❤❤❤
The cadence of his speech, the kindness in his voice…he reminds me of Mr Rogers! ❤
I'm 70...lady of color...Santa is not my culture but I respect other folks culture...from all that I've studied and read about it .....that person IS SANTA...it's a fact we just have to accept....this is so wholesome ...thank you SANTA for still bringing us grown ups gifts of your love....proof is in the comments.
Lol a few years ago my dad was in the same boat while out shopping...he still laughs about it but you can see the joy it brought
He is so sweet and a soft spoken
little things like this make the world a little bit of a brighter world.
True
This is the first time I've seen this. I'm in my 60's and living in Scotland. This really brought a lump to my throat. This man IS Santa Claus. I will watch this over and over again. You Sir, are a TRUE Gentleman. God bless you. Gordon Taylor, Scotland.
A graceful old man is the one of the most beautiful thing in the planet
He’s a beautiful man , no wonder the little girl was drawn to him ❤
I'm amazed just how humble this guy is
It made me cry...very heart-warming.
He is the REAL SANTA CLAUSE
She caught you, Santa! ❤❤
His voice is so calm,soothing but most of all kind.I am an adult n he takes me back to when I was a child.giving to charity n asking others to give😢WOW!!! He is really Santa!!!! He makes me believe even more(n people)🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
He looks like he is really peace with himself.
Of course, why wouldn't he be. He''s Santa.
So glad someone made him shine like the star he is.
We need more stars like him❤
Thursday December 17th 2020 I just happened upon the video with the 3 yo little girl talking to Santa 🎅 4 years ago and I showed it to my 5 year old granddaughter and she got so excited and ran to my daughter in-law and said “mom look at this video , see that Santa Clause IS REAL after all “ she was so happy and excited that my eyes watered !!! Thank you Mr. Rodger Lar , where ever you are !!! ❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️🥰🥰🥰🎅🎅🎅🎄🎄🎄🎁🎁🎁
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
I am from New Mexico and I think u are a gift from God, Santa! Thank U! U brought tears to my eyes! God bless U 4 your caring!
The innocents of children is what keeps my faith in humanity alive and thriving. What a heart warming story. Thank you. God bless this man and to all a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY HEALTHY NEW YEAR!
Katherine Goddard I agree
Such a real shame that people then grow up into terrible adults
Someone give him a job, he is a natural.. Thankyou Roger..
Dang. I remember this story . Its November 2024. Always wondered more about him.😊
you sir is what this world needs. thank you
You Sir are a very kind man. You made that little girl's day.❤❤❤❤
If this man was my math teacher in school, I believe I would be better adjusted in life and much better at math.
It's even a popular video 7 years ahead. Studies have shown kids are pulled towards people who look honest and calm. I'm glad to see someone setting an example of how to look that approachable.
Unfortunately a lot of people half his age want to look like a model or can attend a freakshow because of how much make-up or other skin colouring they wear for example.
Happy to see someone like him.
He looks like a real Santa for real, and the way he talks I think he is the real one, bad news for the none beleaver! THERE IS SANTA'S.
i said the same thing. he tries to act all casual but that is what gives it away. truth will come out someday.
I am SANTA and have been for twenty seven years. I can identify with him I can't get lost in a crowd. I always explain to the children and parents this is how I do my naughty and nice list. They never know where I am going to show up or what I will look like, the beard and belly are real so it helps, I always explain that the ones with beards that come off are my helpers. In my years I have never charged, other than donations to the local food bank and Salvation Army.
Shut up
😂😂😂👌
t's so good that some people can still slow down long enough for the important things in life. God bless that man for this.
As an adult, we struggle finding the true meaning in Christmas.. This little girl Knows exactly What it is !!!
@Belle Amen.. To us Believers its all about our Father in Heaven.. I'm actually a Born again Christian.. God visited me while I was trying to commit Suicide, after losing my wife. Since then I am a True Believer.. I Experienced The Holy Spirit...
@Belle The one thing I lack is a circle of Christian friends.. please keep in contact.. I'll leave my email if you like, so we can form a possible prayer circle, maybe! I understand they're is a lot of idiots.. I'm not one, just someone praising our creator :-)
@G I'm good, and you ??
God Bless this guy, World need people like him, especially now🎉❤😊 cheers from Russia!
He is the Santa in real life. Kind, generous, calm, patience. I don't know him but his voice is very soothing, his face expression is calm
osm voice how polite and gental manner wonderful i just respect this man he is real santa..😍
This is the real St Nick. Thank you for sharing love from Texas.
And she made his day even more so.So easy to see.Beautiful
He has such a calming presence.
Im a 36 yo man and tears are running, when he said that all he wish for is people to help those that need it. What a hero, and for me he is Santa.
To just be kind to others, to say a few words, can help so many! We can all learn so much from him.
Tears can run because your heart is so full of love it leaks out through your eyes.❤
What a dear, sweet man. He's so humble and has such a calm demeanor. This was a real treat getting to know a bit about the man behind the Santa video that has made him famous. 💟💟💟
We need more people like this man; but not only for Christmas, we need It all days all years around the world.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
His voice is heart warming ☺️☺️☺️☺️
What a genuinely sweet fellow. This is 7 years old, I'd love to see Sophie Jo now, and hear her reaction to this video. 😁
If ever there was a man who could step into the late, great Fred Rogers shoes...this is that man.
Wonderful. God bless you Sir. and little Sophie she's such a darling. Keep watching it over n over again.💕❤️😘
LOL 2:09 "Where did you learn that?" "Where did I learn to like people?" 🤣😛😛😛🤣
Holy Moly.. Listen to this man!!! THIS IS SANTA JUST IN ANOTHER FORM OF HIS MANY SELVES WOW! GOD BLESS!@
Can we notice for a while how respectful and gentle he was (not even trying to approach at all more than she allowed him)
I lol'd when he asked "where did I learn to like people?" 😂
I just came across this video. That man is so cool 😎. He made her day. God bless you sir for being so kind and caring to a little girl. ❤
What a sweet man to make that little girl's day like that. ♥
Thank you to the 3 year old little girls parents who took the video and proved to my granddaughter and other children around the world that Santa 🎅 IS REAl !!! ❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️🥰🥰🎅🎅🎅🎄🎄🎄🎁🎁🎁🤗🤗🤗
This is a wonderful man. Follow the play with this innocent little girl with a big heart. I'm glad he was invited to this program.
This is Santa undercover in the store, who got found out. This is still circulating since 4 years ago!
He's a better man than I'll ever be. And should be protected at all costs.
I am going to die of cuteness! I 100% agree this is Santa Claus
🎅❄🌨🏔☃
I just saw this video a week ago. What’s strange is, in 2015 and every year since, I take all my old coats and clothes and donate to the shelters where I live. I believe this man is Santa.
How good is this man! Im 52 but I believe in Santa again. Well done Sir!
The man was wearing red while out shopping during christmas and mentioned its happened before. He enjoys it and that's awesome!
I just wish that once, just ONCE I could see a clip going viral and that is it. Leave it and don't use that as a frame to gain money get interviews, subscribers, views. I just think I found that clip. My good sir you have the kindness and love this planet needs. My six year old kid is sleeping but a big part of me wants to wake him up saying santa is real. Thank you ❤
God bless that wonderful man and sophie too
Ahhh that was so awesome for him to do that.
Even if Santa is real he couldn't be better than this gentleman 🎄
Sir, you are a Saint! ♥️
He proves the spirit of Santa can be embodies in all of us.
What a blessing you are you have such A calm voice and you can make any child feel safe to talk to you thank you 😇💞
This happened to my husband when we were grocery shopping - he smiled and did the shhhh! face to her and she ran to her Mom and was yanking on her sleeve IT'S SANTA MOM LOOK LOOK! it was so cute. She smiled at us......never ruin the magic. Good job Santa!
Santa is nothing but positivity and humanity... He is very much real pure human.. n yea... Angel
I love the contrast of soft lovely Santa (who calls himself Roger) and the pretentious camera personalities
God bless this man.
This is exactly how the real Santa would behave! We're onto you Sir! So sweet ❤
He has compassionate eyes :)
Everything about him says Santa! We'll always love Santa and believe in him! 🥰💝
What a very sweet Man!
The best Santa ever he is the best!!!!
Let's all spread the spirit of christmas and be more giving ⭐🎄⭐ thank you Roger
big red shirt, fluffy real white beard, friendly face. you aint fooling anybody "roger"
Even here voice was so swt and soft
He's Santa as far as I'm concerned. 🙂🎅🏽 And the lady in the background makes my heart smile. She smiles throughout the entire video.
Faith in humanity:
RESTORED!!!!!
Wow he really looks like Santa!!!!!
there's a guy where i used to live in NC who looked just like santa. he got paid decent money to do it each year. but i really think this guy is the real deal because he tries to play it off and act all casual. he crosses his arms because the blond is starting to put the pieces together.
Hope I'll be a guy such as him when I get old
he is very calm and stablewhen he speaks, that`s why he is so approachable
