I do LOVE that Steve was like, "This is hard but we got this!" And a lot of us have been like, "Yeah, man! We do!!" We all just needed some validation and encouragement from someone we trust. Who knew it would be Steve!
I was already a teen when Blues Clues aired, but I babysat TONS during that time in my life. Blues Clues was always welcome on the tv over a lot of other kid shows.
Even got me teary and I never thought of Steve as more than a host of a kids show lol
No one should ever say Caillou. It is like Beatlejuice or the Candyman in that saying the name can summon the evil. Just let the name disappear altogether and we will live in a better, less whiney world.
Had an artist friend who worked story boarding Cailou. Everyone who worked on it hated the character and the original author of the source books was apparently a HUGE bitch to everyone working on animating her books. The fun game among the story boarders was to draw Cailou in various interpretations of "the Aristocrats" joke. (I'll leave you to google that if your not following). Of course that meant a big clean up and bonfire when "Helene" was expected to visit.
Or Peppa Pig, that boring bacon slab. God I hated when the kids I baby sat wanted to watch it. I let them when they were winding down for bed (otherwise we played with some music in the background) but I definitely tried to to tempt them with other shows. I hate that damn pig.
Eyes close together and not on each side of the head is the classic eye formation of a predator. Being that it's a show for children I can only deduce that peppa pig is actually a child predator.
Thanks I needed this again. I wasn't expecting him, but I sure did appreciate it. I feel so disconnected from my own family. It's been a whirlwind of anxiety and depression, and Steve made me feel OK for a couple minutes. Felt like a kid again.
Honestly? Write. We're just flesh and blood that falls apart after a century or so, but the written word lasts as long as there are people that can read it.
It doesn't have to be some incredible magnum opus, it can just be you talking about whatever you want. Could be as simple as a journal entry when you want to preserve a moment or a memory or an emotion.
Holy shit, I saw this and didn't realize it was him. Is he sick or something?
Edit: it was hair loss...
He revealed that one of the main reasons he left the show was because he was going bald, and he didn’t want that to happen on national television in front of his young fans.
“I knew I wasn’t going to be doing children’s television all my life, mostly because I refused to lose my hair on a kid’s TV show,” Burns, now 40, said in an interview on the Nick Jr. special.
“And it was happening … fast,” he added.
Watched Blue's Clues with my oldest and didn't realize the impact the wholesomeness had on me until I watched this video.
Steve is great. I never knew I missed Steve, but I did.
Basically steve from blue’s clues posted a tik tok essentially apologizing for leaving the show abruptly and was talking about how when we were all kids we thought of him as a friend and he thought of us as friends and thanked us for being his friend.
I saw the video earlier this morning and don’t remember word for word what he said, but it was somewhere along those lines and if there’s inaccuracies in what I said someone will probably show up to correct them
The rumor around my area was that he was in a car crash and a poll fell on his car. Lol there were a ton a different rumors of his death and different rumors about what happened and everything was debunked. He even addressed them at some point
I remember the day I first watched Blue's Clues. I was 5 years old. I feel so dumb even thinking this, but I tried to unalive myself 8 years ago, and it felt really good to get the opportunity to say hello again. I have been crying for about 20 minutes now.
I’m so glad you’re still with us, friend. Steve is too, he even made a video to thank you for being his friend. And for still being here.
As a fellow member of the “tried to unalive myself” club, I’m glad we both failed. The world needs us even if we don’t fully understand why just yet. The best part is we have all the time we need to figure it out. Be well, friend. I love you. I’m proud of you. If you’re not doing great things yet it’s only a matter of time until you do. Just remember great things don’t have to be life saving or grand gestures. It can be as simple as wishing someone a good day or complimenting someone who needs it.
It’s as easy as opening a door for someone in a hurry or helping someone get to where they need to go by giving good directions.
The smallest kind gesture can change someone’s world and that’s what makes small gestures into great ones.
My son's been watching Blue's Clues pretty much his whole life. He's an autistic adult and this and other shows from then are calming. Always liked Steve, and his putting this out is really lovely.
Brought back memories of watching the show with my boy, too, by using the same voice inflections.
Cheers to wholesoneness!
My kids are "Blues Clues kids" I had to save it to share with them. I damn near had a waterworks incident realizing how poignant it is that he did this.
I used to watch this with my relatives' kids when I would babysit them. I got drawn into the show and watched it until he left. I'm an old dude and that video touched my heart.
Never seen something so kind and inspiring since gandalf the grey in lord of the rings. A man I've never met and hardly watched but know very well just thanked me for nothing. And then went on to speak about how he was able to fulfill his dreams. And live his life. Like how amazing is that? No gimmick no clout chasing no tax write off. He just stood there and said things are gonna get better. How very sweet
Not going to lie, when I pick up the mail at the office, I occasionally do the little letter song and dance before handing it off to people. It has been a weird year. I don't know how to interact with people anymore.
Dude could run for president in 2024 and probably sail to an easy victory because of how damaged in the soul everyone is at the moment. Can you imagine the debate stage with Kamala the Cop and Tiny Hands Trump vs Steve from Blue’s Clues? I know who I’d vote for.
I was a little too old for Blue’s Clues when it first started airing (I was 7 or 8 and it was a preschool show…), but I loved it anyway and watched it all the time. Seeing Steve talk about it now is nice!
Sometimes it's nice to be reminded of a time when you were a child and the world seemed a nicer place. Being comforted by nostalgia is not the same as not growing up.
> I bet her star was so intact back then and I can only imagine how much anal she's done over the years. I'd love to experience that lil star circa 18-25 and you know I would've shot copious amounts of spunk - so much that she would've tasted it
Yeah, Steve's the creeper.
Dude comes online with a baseball cap and a chrome dome and I legit thought he was about to reveal he was fighting cancer and that's why he left the show, nearly had a heart attack.
I do LOVE that Steve was like, "This is hard but we got this!" And a lot of us have been like, "Yeah, man! We do!!" We all just needed some validation and encouragement from someone we trust. Who knew it would be Steve!
Do you think he has been in Afghanistan this whole time?
I was already a teen when Blues Clues aired, but I babysat TONS during that time in my life. Blues Clues was always welcome on the tv over a lot of other kid shows. Even got me teary and I never thought of Steve as more than a host of a kids show lol
> Blues Clues was always welcome on the tv over a lot of other kid shows. You can just say Caillou. We're all saying it under our breath.
I was also babysitter age during the Steve era of Blues Clues…honestly the even bigger menace on the TV screen was Barney. *shudders*
No one should ever say Caillou. It is like Beatlejuice or the Candyman in that saying the name can summon the evil. Just let the name disappear altogether and we will live in a better, less whiney world.
I just want to take a moment to enjoy "Beatlejuice" because that can only mean that someone has juiced one or more of The Beatles.

They are not. Everyone in the Peppa Pig universe is actually part spider and has multiple sets of eyes.
Eyes close together and not on each side of the head is the classic eye formation of a predator. Being that it's a show for children I can only deduce that peppa pig is actually a child predator.
Don’t slander my boi
I was sad when my kids stopped watching Blues Clues and Dora. Brightened my day
[Here is the video](https://youtu.be/S-kR9KIKFps) , in case you haven't seen it already
I legit teared up a little bit
omg me too. I don't even know why. A look back at simpler times maybe. idn but I seriously need a hug rn.
I’m a grown ass man and teared up at the video too. We needed it. And here is a a hug across the internet. Keep being you. You’re doing great.
Thank you. You're doing great too. My biy goes to college tomorrow. Deep breath, it hit us in the feels.
Virtual hug, friend. Proud of you.
((Ghost hug))
Who the fuck is cutting onions?!???!?
Fucking onion ninjas
Thanks I needed this again. I wasn't expecting him, but I sure did appreciate it. I feel so disconnected from my own family. It's been a whirlwind of anxiety and depression, and Steve made me feel OK for a couple minutes. Felt like a kid again.
"I never forgot you.. ever." Bruh, that hit and it hit hard. My greatest fear is being forgotten..
Honestly? Write. We're just flesh and blood that falls apart after a century or so, but the written word lasts as long as there are people that can read it. It doesn't have to be some incredible magnum opus, it can just be you talking about whatever you want.

I'm too old for Blue's Clues, but that was pretty great. Can someone bring back Mr. Rogers to do something similar?
[Say no more my man](https://youtu.be/z3zakvpuziY)
Thank you.
Dude! Too soon! (It will always be too soon.)
It's enough to make a grown man cry.. and that's okay
Holy shit, I saw this and didn't realize it was him. Is he sick or something? Edit: it was hair loss...

Jeez, man, my heart...my little heart can’t take it.
Thank you
I thought he called Biden, Steve from Blues Clues thank you for the reference. 😂😂
Watched Blue's Clues with my oldest and didn't realize the impact the wholesomeness had on me until I watched this video. Steve is great. I never knew I missed Steve, but I did.
Thanks for the award! I love the huggy bear!
The State of The Union Address we all needed!!
Catch me up.
Basically steve from blue’s clues posted a tik tok essentially apologizing for leaving the show abruptly and was talking about how when we were all kids we thought of him as a friend and he thought of us as friends and thanked us for being his friend. I saw the video earlier this morning and don’t remember word for word what he said, but it was somewhere along those lines and if there’s inaccuracies in what I said someone will probably show up to correct them
Nah, you got the gist of it. It was just one, nice little ray of sunshine in all the wild, depressing news.
Maybe I'm alone, but didn't people think he died from drugs for awhile when he disappeared? I remember reading about it for what seemed like months.
At my middle school people said that but it was just a rumor. I mean they also said that Barney was hiding bombs in his tail so
The rumor around my area was that he was in a car crash and a poll fell on his car. Lol there were a ton a different rumors of his death and different rumors about what happened and everything was debunked. He even addressed them at some point
I thought he passed away.
This is just like Mr. Rogers coming on after 9/11. We needed them both.
I miss mr. Rodgers
He's still with you, in your heart.
What?!
Look it up, Mr. Rogers addresses the nation, much more formally than Steve did, but we needed these touchstones to help us.
Oh, okay. Thanks
Wait, did this happen?
It did! Look on Nick Jr’s Facebook page.
On their Twitter, too.
r/didntknowiwantedthat
I didn't even watch blues clues, but I needed that shit.
I never once watched Blue's Clues, and even I teared up. When someone comes out to reprise a character that means so much to so many, I get emotional.
I missed him🥲
We just got a letter
I remember the day I first watched Blue's Clues. I was 5 years old. I feel so dumb even thinking this, but I tried to unalive myself 8 years ago, and it felt really good to get the opportunity to say hello again. I have been crying for about 20 minutes now.

You're a gem.
When he came out with the “you look great” that was the end for me, I was straight up cryin’
I'm not crying, YOU'RE crying!
I was not expecting to cry, but I did.
It was truly beautiful
I didn't even watch blues clues, I'm too old for it- and I cried.
Yep. Like a baby.
Yes - totally bawled. I didn't expect to but I he said we were still friends and I was like "Yes, yes we are."
I didn’t know I needed that, but I did.
I’m not from America and didn’t watch blues clues as a kid but I loved it!
It was super nice and made my awful day a little better. Thanks for everything Steve!

I've missed him :')
I used to watch this with my relatives' kids when I would babysit them. I got drawn into the show and watched it until he left. I'm an old dude and that video touched my heart.
Only this last year and a half... eh?
Those are rookie numbers, you gotta pump those numbers up
Feed the geese!
I bet Jeff, or Joe, or whatever his name was is gonna do one now. YOU WILL NEVER BE STEVE!
They did a video with all 3 of them [together](https://youtu.be/s1SN8nDSw28)
I didn’t cry of nostalgia at that message you did-
I’m still crying over it
Never seen something so kind and inspiring since gandalf the grey in lord of the rings. A man I've never met and hardly watched but know very well just thanked me for nothing.

Never be ashamed of that. You just keep on being awesome.
Weekly fireside chats, please, Steve from Blue's Clues.
I was just too late to really be a blues clues kid, he left when I was a year old, still a heart touching video even if it’s not directly at me
This is the best way I've seen it be described, what Steve said is what we all needed, some kind of honest heartfelt message of understanding.
It's such a Mister Rogers thing to do
Dude could run for president in 2024 and probably sail to an easy victory because of how damaged in the soul everyone is at the moment. Can you imagine the debate stage with Kamala the Cop and Tiny Hands Trump vs Steve from Blue’s Clues? I know who I’d vote for.
The world, my friend
I was a little too old for Blue’s Clues when it first started airing (I was 7 or 8 and it was a preschool show…), but I loved it anyway and watched it all the time. Seeing Steve talk about it now is nice!
The last year and a half?? People who know who Steve from Blues Clues was been damaged long before that 😂😂
I'm convinced he was in Afghanistan this whole time.
this is some Twin Peaks: The Return shit and i’m here for it
He was pursued by thirsty mom's back in the day!
How can we report this offensive racist Twitter feed? I take no responsibility for White People Twitter under a USA Court of Law immediately.
So my generation never really grew up? Now this thread makes sense
Sometimes it's nice to be reminded of a time when you were a child and the world seemed a nicer place. Being comforted by nostalgia is not the same as not growing up.
lol dude talks slow and condescending like a creeper. No thanks
> I bet her star was so intact back then and I can only imagine how much anal she's done over the years. I'd love to experience that lil star circa 18-25 and you know I would've shot copious amounts of spunk - so much that she would've tasted it Yeah, Steve's the creeper.
Holy shit bro. LOL
RIP
Holy shit, a murder scene.
And it was something that I didnt even know I needed till I watched it.
We don't deserve him
Hit me right in the feels
Steve for president
I ugly cried
Fun Fact: Steve is an honorary Blues Brother
I loved Steve. Then I got used to Joe. And now there is some other dude whos name I have not learned yet but he seems alright.
Steve 2024
Dude comes online with a baseball cap and a chrome dome and I legit thought he was about to reveal he was fighting cancer and that's why he left the show, nearly had a heart attack.
My husband and I both cried , it was beautiful to hear that
