Dear Steve, I would like to express my gratitude to you.. When I came home from the army in the early 2000's I was in a very bad place. A very dark place.. I sat at home most of the time and didnt want anything to do with people. At the time I didnt have cable or satellite tv so I only had a few channels. one of them was PBS and thats where I was introduced to you and your show. At a time when I didnt think I would ever laugh again, I found myself rolling on the floor with how funny you and the others were/are. You brought life back into my world and now, almost 20 years later, I live a pretty normal life. even have my own youtube channel.. You helped make that happen.. You sir, are a class act and I will always be grateful. Im a man, I can change, if I have to, I guess.. LOL God bless.

[@JP-lu9ed]

@ Devils Advocate Survival This is such a touching description of the healing power of these things. Our whole family - perhaps our whole childhood community were RedGreen people. Everyone was a little bit poor but humor and curiosity and a willing to try something got us real solutions and alternatively a lot of laughs. Therapeutic stuff. Wishing you continued positive things in your life like that pop up like Red Green.

Steve smith was like a second father. One whose solutions usually only cost about $5. By far, the best Icon Canada has ever had. Red Green and steve smith will never be forgotten.

[@rodneyvallette938]

He can write a Red Green book of wisdom.

[@hoperules8874]

Yeah! With an "emergency" piece of duct tape in the back!

I guess I just figured out where AvE's "keep your _____ in a vice" came from.

Back in the early 70's, we had a high school returning band called Jason, I believe, Steve Smith and his better half put on a amazing show! They did I'm Your Venus and White Rabbit and nailed them both! Rock On Red Green!

Words to live by.

[@civilwildman]

Handy or handsome, yes. Exploitable, though, no. Ladies seem to like to do the last one I mentioned to me at times. :*(

[@benmatson4951]

Steve you are a true Canadian comedian. You will truly be missed in my world. Still watching your shows on You Tube.

[@To-mos]

Who knew George Carlin was a fan of Steve Smith, that's pretty cool.

[@charlesross9260]

Steve Smith and George Carlin are just as funny now as they ever were. Sorry to see you go but at least we have reruns to watch. Thanks Steve.

[@wakanavkirachel8068]

Not surprised by that!!

[@Vodkanipples]

Imagine being able to say "George Carlin was a fan of my comady"

[@kingjames4886]

makes sense... they're both old.

[@grantrichards4950]

Rather ironic considering that Carlin was frequently profane and, late in his career, was very much the smart comic lecturing the audience; two things Steve Green didn't like. I loved Carlin's earlier stuff and saw him live in '76 but he changed. I'm really glad to see Steve still has his wonderful sense of humor and outlook on life.

[@charlesgreaves3293]

One of the best live shows I've ever had the pleasure of attending. It's good to wake up in the morning and know there is a Red Green out there.

[@cedricerleward]

Glad I found your show long ago. Thanks, Steve for all you created. 'We're all in this together!"

[@stevegrimm7065]

It was the act of being silly and the carefully worded dialogue that made it funny.

[@ce9345]

Red green did a lot for duct tape and Chrysler "K" cars.

[@christopherbridges7902]

My fave k car creation he did was the lawnmower car by installing a ceiling fan under the car with knives ducttaped to the fan. And the Car Bcue

[@mgelliott86]

To chrysler, not for

[@blackmaxima]

Turned one into a lawnmower, and one into a zambone

[@maddogmike5178]

He's a great actor. Love the shows and all the storylines. He's amazing.

[@MJGenevroEducation]

Thank you, Steve, for all the joy and laughter that you gave the World over the decades. Thank you. - Mike

[@bryan5580]

Remember: I'm pullin' for ya, we're all in this together, and if women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy. Much love for Red Green from this American.

[@freedomfirst5420]

God bless you Steve "Red Green" Smith!" My wife and I absolutely love you!❤

[@davidheizer5887]
