Jalang'o and Jeff as babies
The video, which Jalang’o shared on his social media pages, reimagined him and his former radio co-host Jeff Koinange as talking babies during their time at Hot 96 FM.
Dressed in adorable white outfits, the infant versions of the media personalities looked remarkably like the real-life pair, if they had never grown up.

In the AI clip, baby Jalang’o animatedly explained the traditional Kenyan vegetable mrenda (known as apoth or mapoth in Luo) to a confused baby Jeff.
He hilariously tried to describe it, saying:
"Mrenda is this vegetable that is slippery and pulls itself ukichota namna hiyo... In Luo, it is called Apoth or Mapoth, Poth is something slippery. When you serve it, it comes with the soup," he said, in an exaggerated baby voice.
However, Jeff just was just not getting it. The more Jalang’o tried to simplify the explanation, the more baby Jeff complicated it, referring to it as “gravy,” much to the frustration of his co-host.
"Jeff, not everybody lives in Kitisuru!" baby Jalang’o exclaimed, throwing in a cheeky jab at Jeff’s high-end lifestyle and unfamiliarity with traditional dishes.
The playful exchange had netizens thoroughly entertained, with many praising how accurate the AI mimicked their personalities and voices.
The clip quickly went viral, with fans calling it both wholesome and hilarious.
Jalang’o could not help but join in the laughter, clearly amused by the digital recreation of their old on-air chemistry.
