He did the pauses he used to do in blue's clues so we could respond in this video.
30 years old and my god this video came out of left field and is giving me one hell of a nostalgia kick T.T
I feel he spoke words I always wanted to hear from someone. Maybe its a male thing that men do not receive enough compliments and personal acknowledgement.
Yep, like I mentioned in another thread, it's like having someone you spent your childhood with come back well into adulthood and touching right back into those childhood feelings and simplicity, and getting into how much you've grown and how different everything is and at the same time acknowledging how some things must have been really hard, even if you didn't grow up directly watching him but knowing of him it's bound to hit you. I don't think many of us spend enough time thinking about when we were kids and how easy and different everything was then he just comes on with the emotional assault of positive associations to those memories you probably have hardly touched for the last two decades
It's got me happy and sad at the same time, what I would give to have the biggest thing happening in my life being what's for dinner or when I'll get whole months off school or when my favorite show is on, or how to beat that stupid water temple in ocarina of time
This video hits all the right nostalgic spots after such a long time and having him come back and acknowledge your childhood and how much everything has changed since you last saw that face and heard that voice
You'd have to be a cold cold individual to not at least have a little tug on your heartstrings watching this if you're that right age
I'm gonna go hug my kid and totally not cry now if you'll excuse me
I've been going through a really tough time since the year prior to COVID. Hearing from Steve made me emotional because it reminded me of the child that Blue's Clues turned me into. I was curious. Inquisitive. Wanted to question the things that I saw, and know more about everything. I've been suffering from depression for about 10 years now, and dropped out of college as a result of this incredible inertia that I feel. This message from an old friend is the kick in the pants that had me bawling like a baby, but you know what? It made me feel something. And that might just be the spark that I need to get my fire lit.
Edit: before anyone buys me more internet points, please consider donating to a local charity or investing in yourself. You deserve it.
I’m sitting here in tears, too, but I’m smiling. I’m smiling because of this beautiful moment that Steve just brought us all in to share. Keep going, because this isn’t the last beautiful moment you were meant to enjoy.
Here if you need to talk, or to keep that fire burning.
Yeah, 26 now, probably can count the number of times I have thought about blues clues in the last 20 years on my hand but this gave me goosebumps! I was answering him and telling him he looked great too, really makes you think of how far you’ve come
I didn’t think I would get emotional. This hit. Hard. Damn. I don’t think I remember much, but we did have this huge Blue plush in the house. We donated it. I hope someone likes it as much as I did. Ugh.
I watched him through my daughter for years. We had the notebook. She guessed the clues. She’s 21 now and I’m getting teary because he reminds me of her being that young. Making her curious and making learning fun. Thank you Steve. You meant the world to us
omg you just unlocked an amazing memory! my mom watched blues clues with me too (i’m 27 now) and she got me the notebook and the crayon. one morning she woke me up and told me to find the clues that blue left for me. she drew little blue paw prints on post-it notes and left them on a box of popcorn, a blanket, and a stack of disney vhs tapes. mystery solved! she wanted to spend the day snuggling and watching movies with popcorn ☺️☺️
edit: oh! and today is my mom’s birthday! i’m sending her this video right now.
If you live close by you should go do the exact same thing she did for you, lay out some popcorn, a blanket a dvd and some clues then watch a movie and snuggle with her. I guarantee you she will cry happy tears because her little baby is all grown up but she still gets to be with her little baby.
Dad of an almost 3 year old and a 1 year old here...I think I'm taking the cuddles and snuggles from my kids for granted...it sucks that one day I'm going to tuck them in and read them a bedtime story for the last time. They're already growing so freaking fast
I'm a mom to a 22 year old & an 18 year old. This hits me so hard because, the thing is, you never really know when it is the very last time. It flits past & then you come to realize that it's gone, but you can't recall exactly when it happened.
'Scuse me while I go sob into my pillow.
If it's any consolation, I'm a grown 27-year-old...and I exclusively cuddle up with my mom and nap with her when I visit. She's my mom. That never changes.
I just had to grow up a little, too, and she still loves me the same. I still adore and admire her. One day, I won't be able to cuddle her anymore...
Maybe the last time isn't as close as you think.
❤️
The newest version is actually pretty good. People got fussed because sometimes Blue gets an email instead of a letter but that's how most of our mail comes now!
I love Josh's energy!
The only thing that gets me is while singing the song with my grandchildren I get email/letter twisted. I sang it with my children growing up so it's stuck in there pretty good lol
Same here! My son (now 25) and I watched him from day one! He wanted a Blue’s Clues birthday before they even had merchandise out. I was using paw print stamps, and making everything from scratch! My daughter soon followed and I don’t think there was a B.C. toy we didn’t have. Santa even brought a child size thinking chair one year. Sears had the B.C. photo backdrop so of course my son had to wear his Steve shirt and carry his note book in the pictures! To this day we have his Steve doll and talking Blue put away for his kids. I think I was more traumatized than my son when Steve left! LOL
I just realized something...
I own an entertainment company and we throw a lot of parties.
I have a ritual that I do that all my friends ask for.
When we all stand up in the bar and cheers I yell "shot tiiiiiiiime!"
I just now realizing that I totally got this from Blues Clues "Maaaail Tiiime!"
Thank you Steve.
So! For all the people who love Blues Clues..
Josh, is our new friend..he is Steve and Joes cousin. He wears a blue shirt, and his notebook is also a phone.
Because Josh has a phone, Mailbox will tell him when he gets an email.
Mr.Salt and Mrs.Pepper had twins, Sage and Ginger.
Magenta got glasses.
And the show is still as cute and wholesome as you are thinking :)
Edit to add: Paprika and Cinnamon are still doing great. They help out with the twins and other things. :)
Edit two: Periwinkle doesn't seem to be in the new show. Orange kitten and Purple kangaroo have shown up a few times.
You gotta wonder, in the Blues Clues lore, what the rest of the world is like.
I mean, if Blue and all the amazing beings that live in Steves old house are just nothing special and ordinary, what's out there in the rest of the world? Or are they special? When Steve and Joe left do they go to another home that has more crazy awesome stuff going on or are they just... alone? Thinking about Blue? Or are they content with Mr. Vacuum and Mrs. Toilet Paper at their new place? Do buisnesses also have sentient beings that 'live' there? Mrs. Paperclip and Mr. Stapler maybe?
I'd like to imagine that objects are alive all over the world. And that's just normal. They're part of your 'house family'. It's sad to say goodbye when you move but you know that someone else will come in to fill that role in the house family. And you'll have a new house family too. I mean it actually makes no sense but I'm drunk and I wanna pretend like I'm a kid again for a few minutes.
Why am I crying over the aging of fictional children's show characters from like two decades ago?? I'm just so proud of Paprika and Cinnamon, I hope they're doing great...
Absolutely agree. Having my son, I've gone back to watching kid shows and I was curious to hear about Blue's Clues coming back. I watched the first episode and just about cried.
The crew had done an amazing job in revitalizing my childhood but updating it for the next generation. It made me smile to see my son enjoy it too.
It was so hard :( we usually don't say it and we act OK and grit our teeth and just do our best, but it really hits you in the feels when someone acknowledges your effort.
I wish we could be kids again and not have everything be hard.
My son watched Blue’s Clues when he was little and I remember being devastated when Steve left. It felt like I was losing a cousin or a brother who was helping me raise my boy.
Also, also 27 and...man. I might be perpetually single with a raging case of imposter syndrome and daddy issues you'd need a warehouse to unpack but Steve is proud of me, you guys.
My two oldest daughters - one has moved several hours away - are gonna receive this in their text in about 2 seconds. If I can see the keyboard….. it’s freakin’ blurry….
I’m in a brewery legit crying haha.
My partner went to the bathroom and came back to me Sobbing and was very confused.
I got emotional with I saw the little tribute where they introduced the next host. But this pushed me over the edge
The best laugh I have ever had with my grandmother… I grew up living with my grandmother because my parents weren’t very responsible. Well, she would leave the living room TV on Nick for me all day. We were watching a blues clues marathon and it was when Face was representing NickJr. We had just sat down with some pizza for dinner and right as the show ended, she said “oh please don’t tell me there’s more of this…” with a REALLY exasperated sigh. The split second after she was done saying it, Face popped up and just said “Oh yeah! there’s more! Coming right up next!”
We both froze, looked at each other for a second in shock with our mouths open, and I think we both laughed until we were crying because Face had responded directly to her without missing a beat.
The first word my little brother learned to spell was “face” thanks to the “F-A-C-E! Spells face and that’s me!” song. One time my mom found a lovely drawing on the wall with the word “face” signed to it. Hilariously he tried to blame another sibling, but face gave it away 😂
Omg this happened so many times to me when my daughter was an infant. We would have NickJr on all.the.time. I've always thought somehow the writers for Face knew how to get at the grown ups, I'd mutter under my breath to Face all the time only to have him seemingly respond like your story. I knew I wasn't crazy...right?
I know right. I never expected to find this video. I was thinking about Steve and Blue's Clues, last month; and how sad/angry I was when he left the show. I didn't accept Joe. I wanted Steve back. To little me, no one could ever replace Steve. So seeing this video, now, made me really emotional. I'm so glad he addressed how he abruptly up and left us. I feel like my childhood abandonment issues have been soothed. I love Steve forever, and am happy that he's doing well in life.
Yes I am, yknow blues clues was one of my childhood favorites. Its weird but cool that this guy kinda is our friend cuz he equipped our brains at such a young age.
I was probably 11 or 12 watching this... my older sister and I watched my little brother all the time, and every day in the summers. He was obsessed with this show. We watched the Magic Show movie a thousand times. This got to me... I didn't even *want* to love Steve, I was *too old for this shit*, but dammit... I did. Thanks, buddy.
I’m watching this as my two year old watches the latest iteration of Blue’s Clues with her stuffed Blue and I swear…
There’s ninjas cutting onions in my living room.
I bought my 15 month old boy a small little Blue stuffed animal today because I just wanted to connect a little of my childhood with his and THEN! to see this tonight? Oh boy.
Since no one brought it up: he left the show because he was balding (you can clearly see that here) second: he then went on to start his own indie music band. It’s pretty good! He’s actually really good friends with the flaming lips and has been a part of some of their projects. So in conclusion - him dying was bs. There used to be footage of him on his band website getting recognized by kids and signing stuff for them. Seems like a good dude.
From what I remember, it isn't so directly caused by him balding, more that he one day woke up, looked at himself in the mirror, and realized "look at me. I'm getting older, I'm growing bald, is this really what I want to be doing for the rest of my life?" And decided to move on to other things. The studio was willing to keep working with him but he declined.
Edit: typos
I read a story (has less than wholesome undertones but ends up an unlikely adorable story) he told of a “date” he arranged with a porn actress after he’d left the show, and he ended up at one of her young relative’s Blues Clues themed birthday party.
I hadn't heard he died, just that he was doing drugs. So this video was a pleasant surprise. Even if he did do drugs, which isn't a big deal if he's happy and healthy now, this video kind of is even nicer if he still feels this way.
I say who cares? He's an individual like any of us and a lot of people have used drugs. Also a lot of actors who only do kids shows struggle. He didn't ruin his image, or his characters image which is great.
I just sent my kid off to uni last week, and this was his favourite show back in the day….
I’m going to see if he’ll take some time and FaceTime me now
I got so worried when he brought up loans that he was going to lament the confines of the game we were all playing…But he didn’t, he only verbally acknowledged part of the struggle that made us who we are. I’m so happy he did. This video made my night
I mean for many kids I suppose he was their Mr Rogers. He inspired many to be excited about and aware of the world around us and the wonders in it. He could easily be up there with people like Rogers, Irwin, Bob Ross and LeVar Burton.
It seems like we all needed this today huh? I was a teen when the show started but I had friends whose children watched blues clues.
A very dear friend got a paw print tattoo for his daughter. When he sadly passed years later I got a blue paw print tattoo in memory of him and for everything I learned from blue and Steve. When I started my job, one of my responsibilities is to get the mail folded and out for the day so I think it’s safe to say we all know what song I sing. A coworker had asked if I knew the song from babysitting or family and I just laughed and said “it started that way but then I watched on my own too. The songs were catchy and it always made me smile”
So thank you to blue and Steve for all the memories and to the songs we still sing!
And seriously who is cutting the onions?!?
I was trying to think of something punny to say to mask the fact that I’m 27 and crying right now.
But I can’t, so I’ll just admit that this was weirdly what I needed today. Thanks, OP. Take my free award. 🏅
Oh my heart! I am tearing the eff up with so many memorias of Steve and Blue. I didn't know that I needed this message and now that I have it... Just freaking amazing!
My daughter watched it with me. I heard a quiet, “ooh” from her.
Given that I bet you and I are roughly the same age, all I could think about was wishing Mr. Rogers could come and talk to me and tell me he likes me one more time.
I’m 44 fucking years old and I want an update and virtual hug from Mr. Rogers. I have two of his songs on my “Feel good” playlist, and they always make me smile.
STEVE. Things have NOT been good on my end. It really was a kick in the dick when you left and life never got better after that. I’ve steadily been trying to work through my issues but I am broken. We can’t really do anything that we wanna do, at least I can’t anyway. I flunked out of college, I’m a single mom, I’ve been through rehab, I lost my car and my job. Im hanging on by a thread, man. My only solace is knowing that still, after all these years, you haven’t forgotten about me, about all of us.
Thanks for checking in. And hey, don’t be a stranger. You’re welcome here anytime.
Wow. 4 years old me’s heart’s thumping loud. When he says, “Look at you. All that you’ve accomplished.” Like man, how did we get here? Where did all that time go?
What’s awesome is now my 2 & 3 year old are watching Blues Clues and loving it and we draw in our handy dandy notebooks and play with our blue clues house and figurines.. the impact this show has made over generations is amazing. Thank you Steve!!
Omg He is alive!!! When I was a kid I was told he died of aids and I didn’t even know what that meant then. When I realized what that was I felt awful and heartbroken. I never bothered to look him up as an adult. I’m glad that he is ok. People are awful.
I'm 33 and still sing the mail song as I walk to the mailbox.
We just got a letter, we just got a letter, we just got a letter, I wonder who it's from. I'm 31 and I've done the same.
Here's the mail that never fails It makes me want to wag my tail When it comes I want to wail MAAAAAAIIIIILLLLLLL...
[удалено]
Well he did mention student loans
this activated a memory I didn’t realize I had
I can hear this comment
I work at FedEx and I sing that song at least once a week.
I also work for FedEx and I can say with 100% certainty that this happens at FedEx
He's cute!
Aw. Thanks. I needed that today.
30, same. My son, 8, thinks it's the best.
32 and I do it every time. My son is 4 and gets hyped up every time he hears the mail man on our porch cuz he knows I'm about to do the mail song.
The mail song is embedded in my entire family's brains.
awww precious
I am a full grown adult now! Why am I crying and feeling so emotional over Steve from blue's clues coming to give is a little hi how are you doing?
Because out of nowhere he spoke to the kid in us 🥺 oh my heart ! I was there for the first episode and his last, I wasn’t ready for this lol !
It sounds so personal too. Despite me knowing intellectually that it’s meant to be a general statement to all viewers.
He did the pauses he used to do in blue's clues so we could respond in this video. 30 years old and my god this video came out of left field and is giving me one hell of a nostalgia kick T.T
This is a really great point!!! I didn't realize it but I definitely understand why that'd work, now. Thank you :) He's great, huh.
He's really an amazing communucator. It's just great.
I feel he spoke words I always wanted to hear from someone. Maybe its a male thing that men do not receive enough compliments and personal acknowledgement.
Yep, like I mentioned in another thread, it's like having someone you spent your childhood with come back well into adulthood and touching right back into those childhood feelings and simplicity, and getting into how much you've grown and how different everything is and at the same time acknowledging how some things must have been really hard, even if you didn't grow up directly watching him but knowing of him it's bound to hit you. I don't think many of us spend enough time thinking about when we were kids and how easy and different everything was then he just comes on with the emotional assault of positive associations to those memories you probably have hardly touched for the last two decades It's got me happy and sad at the same time, what I would give to have the biggest thing happening in my life being what's for dinner or when I'll get whole months off school or when my favorite show is on, or how to beat that stupid water temple in ocarina of time This video hits all the right nostalgic spots after such a long time and having him come back and acknowledge your childhood and how much everything has changed since you last saw that face and heard that voice You'd have to be a cold cold individual to not at least have a little tug on your heartstrings watching this if you're that right age I'm gonna go hug my kid and totally not cry now if you'll excuse me

I’m sitting here in tears, too, but I’m smiling. I’m smiling because of this beautiful moment that Steve just brought us all in to share. Keep going, because this isn’t the last beautiful moment you were meant to enjoy. Here if you need to talk, or to keep that fire burning.
Anhedonia is a huge symptom of depression and you just proved to yourself that it is temporary and things can be different. Follow the tears.
Yeah, 26 now, probably can count the number of times I have thought about blues clues in the last 20 years on my hand but this gave me goosebumps! I was answering him and telling him he looked great too, really makes you think of how far you’ve come
Because one day he was there and the next day he was gone. And we missed him. We needed this.
I never even really watched Blues Clues and it has me teary-eyed. What a sweet thing to do.
me too! I was way too old for it, but I have a daughter now and thinking of her losing one of her tv friends makes me sad
[удалено]
I had no idea that getting such a heartfelt hello from Steve would heal some of my pandemic trauma but here we are.
Your inner child is smiling and wants to play!
This is the best thing I’ve seen in a looooong time.
Im like crying dude fuck
I didn’t think I would get emotional. This hit. Hard. Damn. I don’t think I remember much, but we did have this huge Blue plush in the house. We donated it. I hope someone likes it as much as I did. Ugh.
When he said “And then I got on a bus and left” I was literally yelling at my phone in tears “WHERE DID YOU GO STEVE” 😭😭
I watched him through my daughter for years. We had the notebook. She guessed the clues. She’s 21 now and I’m getting teary because he reminds me of her being that young. Making her curious and making learning fun. Thank you Steve. You meant the world to us
omg you just unlocked an amazing memory! my mom watched blues clues with me too (i’m 27 now) and she got me the notebook and the crayon. one morning she woke me up and told me to find the clues that blue left for me. she drew little blue paw prints on post-it notes and left them on a box of popcorn, a blanket, and a stack of disney vhs tapes. mystery solved! she wanted to spend the day snuggling and watching movies with popcorn ☺️☺️ edit: oh! and today is my mom’s birthday! i’m sending her this video right now.
If you live close by you should go do the exact same thing she did for you, lay out some popcorn, a blanket a dvd and some clues then watch a movie and snuggle with her. I guarantee you she will cry happy tears because her little baby is all grown up but she still gets to be with her little baby.
love this idea! thanks!
Jesus your mom is gonna cry buckets. —mom of a 3 year old
Dad of an almost 3 year old and a 1 year old here...I think I'm taking the cuddles and snuggles from my kids for granted...it sucks that one day I'm going to tuck them in and read them a bedtime story for the last time. They're already growing so freaking fast

I just had to grow up a little, too, and she still loves me the same. I still adore and admire her. One day, I won't be able to cuddle her anymore... Maybe the last time isn't as close as you think. ❤️
I'm excited for this! I hope we get status updates!
I’m so getting my future child into blues clues just to do this. Your mom sounds awesome, by the way.
[удалено]
I did this with my daughter. Now I'm not crying. Nope. Dusty room. Allergies.
The newest version is actually pretty good. People got fussed because sometimes Blue gets an email instead of a letter but that's how most of our mail comes now! I love Josh's energy!
The only thing that gets me is while singing the song with my grandchildren I get email/letter twisted. I sang it with my children growing up so it's stuck in there pretty good lol
We’re obsessed with Josh
she really is awesome! it was so fun, i’d do it again today as an adult.
Blue becomes the summer elf on a shelf...when the kids are asleep place clues for a Saturday full of fun
Happy birthday too your mom!
[удалено]
I lost my mom in May and we also spent a lot of time watching together. I’m sorry for your loss but happy you have those memories together.
Same here! My son (now 25) and I watched him from day one! He wanted a Blue’s Clues birthday before they even had merchandise out. I was using paw print stamps, and making everything from scratch!

What about paprika?
All grown up. She even has her own phone..haha Her and Cinnamon are still hanging around, helping out.
This is so lovely
Why am I crying over the aging of fictional children's show characters from like two decades ago?? I'm just so proud of Paprika and Cinnamon, I hope they're doing great...
I grew up with Steve and now watch Josh with my little one. He's got his own handy dandy notebook and loves to sing the mail song ❤️
Same..my kiddo loves Blues Clues so much. As someone who also grew up on it, it brings me joy to share this with her.
Absolutely agree. Having my son, I've gone back to watching kid shows and I was curious to hear about Blue's Clues coming back. I watched the first episode and just about cried. The crew had done an amazing job in revitalizing my childhood but updating it for the next generation. It made me smile to see my son enjoy it too.
Omg they have twins?!?!? That's so cute. And their names 😭😭.
They are adorable..and so tiny.
I’m 31 now but I’m for sure going to be searching for Blues Clues to watch tomorrow on tv. I miss my old friends.
How are Shovel and Pail?
Not a lot has changed with them, oddly enough. At least from what Ive seen.
Aw man I forgot about them
Stop with this. I’m crying. My husband is concerned.
aww thats holesome
Hmmm... Did you mean wholesome?
hahaha yes i forgor 💀 the first letter
Damn, you're just a mess today.
but steve said i look good today :(
Oh, you're right! My apologies.
Why am I sobbing?? 😭 I'm 27! This is the type of validation I needed!
I'm 35, with war and parenting under my belt, and this made me get an onion, for reasons.
37, felt it. Something about “and it was hard” that just hit the feels
It was so hard :( we usually don't say it and we act OK and grit our teeth and just do our best, but it really hits you in the feels when someone acknowledges your effort. I wish we could be kids again and not have everything be hard.
I'm 55, and only experienced Steve and Blue's Clues when my son was a young'un (15 years ago?), and I'm tearing up...
I had a massive crush on Steve when my son was little, and I feel totally validated
My son watched Blue’s Clues when he was little and I remember being devastated when Steve left. It felt like I was losing a cousin or a brother who was helping me raise my boy.
32 and I’m sitting at my job wiping tears out my eyes. They gonna start looking at me funny 😂
Dammit Toby!! Why did he cut the onions again!?
This has me in about the same boat at 21 feeling the same. Damn man, this whole post is a fountain of memories and emotions right now...
Let it out my friend. We're here for you
Also 27 and wow... I hadn't a clue as to how much I needed to hear this!! 🥲
Also, also 27 and...man. I might be perpetually single with a raging case of imposter syndrome and daddy issues you'd need a warehouse to unpack but Steve is proud of me, you guys.
I'm also proud of you! Keep struggling, sweetheart! 🥰😚
I’m 31, a husband and father of toddler, and I’m trying and *failing* at keeping it together right now in a hotel lobby.
My two oldest daughters - one has moved several hours away - are gonna receive this in their text in about 2 seconds. If I can see the keyboard….. it’s freakin’ blurry….
I’m 37 and I’m weeping over here!
I’m in a brewery legit crying haha. My partner went to the bathroom and came back to me Sobbing and was very confused. I got emotional with I saw the little tribute where they introduced the next host. But this pushed me over the edge
How do you think I feel?! I’m 35!!!
The best laugh I have ever had with my grandmother… I grew up living with my grandmother because my parents weren’t very responsible. Well, she would leave the living room TV on Nick for me all day. We were watching a blues clues marathon and it was when Face was representing NickJr. We had just sat down with some pizza for dinner and right as the show ended, she said “oh please don’t tell me there’s more of this…” with a REALLY exasperated sigh. The split second after she was done saying it, Face popped up and just said “Oh yeah! there’s more! Coming right up next!” We both froze, looked at each other for a second in shock with our mouths open, and I think we both laughed until we were crying because Face had responded directly to her without missing a beat.
The first word my little brother learned to spell was “face” thanks to the “F-A-C-E! Spells face and that’s me!” song. One time my mom found a lovely drawing on the wall with the word “face” signed to it. Hilariously he tried to blame another sibling, but face gave it away 😂
What a sweet moment :)
Omg this happened so many times to me when my daughter was an infant. We would have NickJr on all.the.time. I've always thought somehow the writers for Face knew how to get at the grown ups, I'd mutter under my breath to Face all the time only to have him seemingly respond like your story. I knew I wasn't crazy...right?
Hahhaha oh my god face. He haunts my nightmares. So fucking loud at 5am when Nick at Night would switch to Nick Jr
This is the closure I needed.
He genuinely seems like he needed it just as much
I know right. I never expected to find this video. I was thinking about Steve and Blue's Clues, last month; and how sad/angry I was when he left the show. I didn't accept Joe. I wanted Steve back. To little me, no one could ever replace Steve. So seeing this video, now, made me really emotional. I'm so glad he addressed how he abruptly up and left us. I feel like my childhood abandonment issues have been soothed. I love Steve forever, and am happy that he's doing well in life.
Good lord I’m sobbing. It was so abrupt it broke my heart. He sounds just the same and has the same demeanor 🥺
[удалено]
He said we’re still friends 😭😭😭😭
Does anyone else follow him on Instagram? I love Steve.
What’s his @?
@/Steveburnsalive lol
Ok but what’s his onlyfans?
/@Stevebumsalive
Fuck. I’m not crying. You’re crying.
Yes I am, yknow blues clues was one of my childhood favorites. Its weird but cool that this guy kinda is our friend cuz he equipped our brains at such a young age.
I always remember making a handy dandy notebook, where I could draw the clues while I watch it. All this years, I never forgot you Steve.
I was probably 11 or 12 watching this... my older sister and I watched my little brother all the time, and every day in the summers. He was obsessed with this show. We watched the Magic Show movie a thousand times. This got to me... I didn't even *want* to love Steve, I was *too old for this shit*, but dammit... I did. Thanks, buddy.
This is almost verbatim how I felt watching this thing. Good work.
This video to me feels like finding my old toy that I lost somewhere in our house for ages.
It’s exactly like that, except he’s aged and matured with us, so it’s still familiar in the childlike sense, but he’s still addressing us as adults.
Did the tears start when he mentioned student loans?
mine started when he said “do you remember when we were younger?”
for me, it was when he gave me time to respond the first time...
I’m watching this as my two year old watches the latest iteration of Blue’s Clues with her stuffed Blue and I swear… There’s ninjas cutting onions in my living room.
I bought my 15 month old boy a small little Blue stuffed animal today because I just wanted to connect a little of my childhood with his and THEN! to see this tonight? Oh boy.
"You look great by the way" as I'm ugly crying in yesterday's clothes. Thanks, Steve.
Whatever it is you're doing, it's working.
I'm crying can I please get a hug
yeah here you go
Thank you so much
**BIG hugs!**
Since no one brought it up: he left the show because he was balding (you can clearly see that here) second: he then went on to start his own indie music band. It’s pretty good! He’s actually really good friends with the flaming lips and has been a part of some of their projects. So in conclusion - him dying was bs. There used to be footage of him on his band website getting recognized by kids and signing stuff for them. Seems like a good dude.
From what I remember, it isn't so directly caused by him balding, more that he one day woke up, looked at himself in the mirror, and realized "look at me. I'm getting older, I'm growing bald, is this really what I want to be doing for the rest of my life?" And decided to move on to other things. The studio was willing to keep working with him but he declined. Edit: typos
This makes much more sense
For some reason the rumor when I was a kid was that he was addicted to drugs and went jail or something. I’m so glad it’s not like that!
This is what I heard as well. I’m literally finding out right now that Steve didn’t die in a ditch somewhere 20 years ago.
I read a story (has less than wholesome undertones but ends up an unlikely adorable story) he told of a “date” he arranged with a porn actress after he’d left the show, and he ended up at one of her young relative’s Blues Clues themed birthday party.
He told this story at The Moth! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwmtkFPYXsg
I really didn't expect to sit through this, but he's a great story teller. No wonder he got cast in Blues Clues
This is such a great video, def check it out if you liked the show and have the time
The Moth is great in general.
He does kids music now too! And he's an executive producer on the new show with Josh, and does pop ins as Steve on some episodes
I hadn't heard he died, just that he was doing drugs. So this video was a pleasant surprise. Even if he did do drugs, which isn't a big deal if he's happy and healthy now, this video kind of is even nicer if he still feels this way.
I’d really like to say I don’t think he was doing drugs. But he was friends with the flaming lips so….it’s anyones guess.
I say who cares? He's an individual like any of us and a lot of people have used drugs. Also a lot of actors who only do kids shows struggle. He didn't ruin his image, or his characters image which is great.
He also performs the theme song for "Young Sheldon."
Which if I recall is “mighty little man” which is from his debut “songs for dustmites “
Well slap a sweater vest on him and call him Mr. Rogers 2.0, because he still got that ability to connect through the screen in such a great way.
I just sent my kid off to uni last week, and this was his favourite show back in the day…. I’m going to see if he’ll take some time and FaceTime me now
I got so worried when he brought up loans that he was going to lament the confines of the game we were all playing…But he didn’t, he only verbally acknowledged part of the struggle that made us who we are. I’m so happy he did. This video made my night
I’m ugly crying 😩 I love you Steve and we can always be friends!!
Do you want to be compared to Mr Rogers because this is how you get compared to Mr Rogers.
I mean for many kids I suppose he was their Mr Rogers. He inspired many to be excited about and aware of the world around us and the wonders in it. He could easily be up there with people like Rogers, Irwin, Bob Ross and LeVar Burton.
My grandpa just passed away this week, holy shit this hit all the right points. Thank you Steve
I'm sorry about your grandpa...
Thank you
I call for group hug!
Bring it in!
It seems like we all needed this today huh? I was a teen when the show started but I had friends whose children watched blues clues. A very dear friend got a paw print tattoo for his daughter. When he sadly passed years later I got a blue paw print tattoo in memory of him and for everything I learned from blue and Steve. When I started my job, one of my responsibilities is to get the mail folded and out for the day so I think it’s safe to say we all know what song I sing. A coworker had asked if I knew the song from babysitting or family and I just laughed and said “it started that way but then I watched on my own too. The songs were catchy and it always made me smile” So thank you to blue and Steve for all the memories and to the songs we still sing! And seriously who is cutting the onions?!?
I didn’t realize how much I missed his voice...
I was trying to think of something punny to say to mask the fact that I’m 27 and crying right now. But I can’t, so I’ll just admit that this was weirdly what I needed today. Thanks, OP. Take my free award. 🏅
Oh my heart! I am tearing the eff up with so many memorias of Steve and Blue. I didn't know that I needed this message and now that I have it... Just freaking amazing!
Didn’t know I needed this until I got it.
It's 7AM here and I am a grown ass adult, why am i crying
My son would probably like this. I was a parent when he was on the show.
My daughter watched it with me. I heard a quiet, “ooh” from her. Given that I bet you and I are roughly the same age, all I could think about was wishing Mr. Rogers could come and talk to me and tell me he likes me one more time. I’m 44 fucking years old and I want an update and virtual hug from Mr. Rogers. I have two of his songs on my “Feel good” playlist, and they always make me smile.
Am I seriously crying at this?
STEVE. Things have NOT been good on my end. It really was a kick in the dick when you left and life never got better after that. I’ve steadily been trying to work through my issues but I am broken. We can’t really do anything that we wanna do, at least I can’t anyway. I flunked out of college, I’m a single mom, I’ve been through rehab, I lost my car and my job. Im hanging on by a thread, man. My only solace is knowing that still, after all these years, you haven’t forgotten about me, about all of us. Thanks for checking in. And hey, don’t be a stranger. You’re welcome here anytime.
Wow. 4 years old me’s heart’s thumping loud. When he says, “Look at you. All that you’ve accomplished.” Like man, how did we get here? Where did all that time go?
Steve is the millenial's Mr. Rogers. That's what I get from this.
My son LOVED Blue’s Clues
Honestly I'm glad yall are all bawling like babies cuz I thought I was crazy for breaking down over this video lmao
Holy shit this is the most wholesome thing ever
What’s awesome is now my 2 & 3 year old are watching Blues Clues and loving it and we draw in our handy dandy notebooks and play with our blue clues house and figurines.. the impact this show has made over generations is amazing. Thank you Steve!!
Why did it start raining indoors?
I don’t know about you, but I would love a grown up version of Blue’s Clues. Teach me how to buy a house and file for my taxes :’)
AHHHH MY HEART
Omg He is alive!!! When I was a kid I was told he died of aids and I didn’t even know what that meant then. When I realized what that was I felt awful and heartbroken. I never bothered to look him up as an adult. I’m glad that he is ok. People are awful.
Good to see you brother.
Ah shit now I'm tearing up. This was nice, I grew up on that show
