After nearly two decades, Blue’s Clues host Steve Burns popped back into fans’ lives to remind them he never forgot about their clue-hunting days together.

Burns’ check-in video was released by Nick Jr. on Twitter in honor of the children’s program’s 25th anniversary. Burns served as the series’ original presenter, departing after six years to head off to “college,” a plot point that sparked many a schoolyard whisper.

Nick Jr. nodded to the outrageous rumor mill surrounding Burns’ departure from Blue’s Clues by captioning its update “about that time Steve went off to college…” The video in question provided no expose on Burns’ rumored criminal activity, addiction, music career or the host of other unsubstantiated tall tales regarding his departure from the series. Instead, Nick Jr. provided the internet with wholesome nostalgia by evoking the format many grew up enjoying.

Burns addresses the once-kids who grew up shouting at him on the other side of the television screen as the adults they are now. Donning his original Blue’s Clues get-up, with an added hat, Burns name-checks some of the show’s comforting and formulaic moments such as mail time and Mr. Salt. However, Burns admits things have changed quite a bit since those simple afternoons spent at Blue’s house.

Responsibilities ranging from student debt to families and mortgages have beset both Burns and his original Blue’s Clues audience. After acknowledging the many challenges of adulthood, Burns commends viewers on taking those obstacles in their stride.

Burns closes by saying that he never forgot the show’s viewers and that all their help has stuck with him to this very day. “You look great by the way,” Burns assures fans before walking off the Blue’s Clues backdrop. “Whatever it is your doing, it’s working.”

Of course, Burns never exited the Blue’s Clues due to any salacious conspiracy. The former host has often corrected the swell of rumors by simply stating it was the right time for him to leave. Burns was growing out of Blue’s Clues’ colorful world, but, in Nick Jr.’s video, he reminds fans that growing up does not diminish the simple joy once shared over finding clues together as kids.

This wholesome pep-talk from Burns proved the perfect temporary cure for the internet’s woes this week. After a string of bad news, from the ongoing devastation of COVID-19, the damage of Hurricane Ida and the sudden and tragic passing of Michael K. Williams, Nick Jr.’s video provided the internet with a much-needed break.

Blue’s Clues aired on Nick Jr. for two decades, from 1996 to 2006, with Burns and Donovan Patton serving as its presenters. Spin-off series Blue’s Room (2004-2007) and the reboot Blue’s Clues & You! (2019-) made their way to the network following the show’s success.
