This man just revived his whole career. He can be the new mister Roger's if he wants to

[@elyriawonk6807]

He's actually bern doing voice over work and a lot of stuff. He talked about it in another video. But I agree this was smart and sweet.

He can be Mr. Roger’s what..? And who is Mr. Roger..?

@@KazehayaKhai - The guy above was just nitpicking on the bad grammar. 👍🏻 It’s Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood. Fred Rogers was Fred Rogers, not Fred Roger.

[@randomperson8571]

Oh my God you need to tell him that STAT. He'd be a good one (of course, not trying to be Mister Rogers, but filling that role that Mister Rogers once did of a genuine, compassionate guy just talking to kids about tough stuff and how it's okay to have feelings).

[@RioluX195]

I think it was Steve's idea. I mean yea the 25th anniversary happened so that probably helped a bit but I think Steve thought to himself that the people who grew up with his Blue's Clues could use this and so he made the video then made us all cry

Nah steve left BC at 2002 when The US went to Afghanistan. Now that the war is over he's suddenly back. He's been running black ops units in Afghanistan tracking down Bin Laden thanks to "clues" that he finds. He's America's top secret soldier. Open your eyes people!

4:19 The precise intonation when he said "Let's go tell Blue!" Is what finally did me in. He remembered how to enunciate his words and stretch his voice to the point where he sounds exactly as he did 23 years ago. I made it through the video with only a few tears but when he got back into character, I went straight back to being 5 again and my heart is aching with joy and nostalgia.

[@Tabbychu]

I'm so glad i'm not the only one who noticed that!! You can tell that it's a period in his life he's really fond of. Honestly this whole thing has probably been just as nostalgic for him as it has been for the rest of us and that makes it even better

Steve gave my generation the hug it desperately needed. Most of us aren't where we wanted to be in life by now, and are scared shitless if we're being honest with ourselves.

He didn't necessarily move on comfortably. He left because of losing his hair, not because he was ready to leave. Also he still does plenty of blues clues stuff, wether it's cameos on the current show or side hustles for fans. He's not completely out of the woods yet

I don't know who loved Blues Clues more -- me or my kids. Now, thanks to the internet, I'm introducing Steve. Blue and Magenta to my Grandchildren! They are amazed that I know all of the songs. My kids are 32.30.29, 28. 26, and 25, and I still absolutely love Steve, Blue, Magenta, and the entire team! They did stop watching when Steve left. Even though they were little, they DID NOT like the show without Steve. It wasn't the same. Glad to see you back, Steve! I hope you realize what an influence you had on these toddlers back then and what amazing adults and parents they became!

I miss the old me, with no anxiety, disorder and such. I just wanna go back to the old me.

I noticed how some of the comments compared Steve or Blue’s Clues in general to Mister Rogers. And I can’t say that surprises me. Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood was actually an inspiration for Blue’s Clues in the first place and Mister Rogers himself liked it. (Not to mention he was one of the show creators’ mentor). Also, I love how Jon Batiste included that “Blue Skidoo” tune on his piano at the end. Such a nostalgic improvisation.
