Get a "Clue": Kid Host NOT Dead
by Joal Ryan
Apr 3, 1999, 2:10 PM PT
The Blue's Clues guy is not--we repeat not--dead.
He said so himself. Over and over and over again.
For the uninitiated, Blue's Clues is Nickelodeon's hit preschoolers' show (the one with the big, blue cartoon dog). The Blue's Clues guy is actor Steve Burns, the animated program's token human. a d v e r t i s e m e n t
And the reason Steve Burns keeps reassuring us of his vital signs is that a particularly virulent urban legend keeps striking him dead.
"I haven't ever felt healthier," Burns, 25, told The Rosie O'Donnell Show last December.
The appearance was designed to dispel the then-red-hot rumor that he'd gone to kiddie-show-host heaven (ostensibly of a heroin overdose). Burns also provided quotable, I'm-still-here blurbs to several magazines and newspapers.
Lot of good all that did.
This past week, Burns was forced back onto the stump, doing NBC's Today. Saying the never-say-die rumor is upsetting his show's young fans, Burns told guest-host Maria Shriver what he'd told Rosie four months earlier--HE'S NOT DEAD.
Burns said the bogus death notice was traced to the (what else?) Internet, where confused Netizens, as recently as a few weeks ago, were still posting messages such as: "I just heard that Steve from Blue's Clues overdosed on heroin. Is this right?" (Note: NO.)
At one point in the saga, Burns said, even his mother telephoned to see if was alive. (Note: HE WAS.)
Blue's Clues premiered on Nickelodeon in September 1996. It stars Burns as the kindly owner of Blue, a dog prone to leaving paw prints (i.e. clues) all over the house.
Burns' other credits include a 1998 guest appearance on the NBC drama series called (uh-oh) Homicide.

he's a musician After Burns left Blue's Clues in 2002, he recorded a rock album, Songs for Dustmites, which develop into released in 2003. The album develop into produced with the archives of producer Dave Fridmann of Tarbox highway Studios, and with the archives of and contributions by employing Steven Drozd, drummer for The Flaming Lips. (in the course of the recording, Burns portrayed an engineer aboard a spacecraft contained in the Flaming Lips' movie, Christmas on Mars.) The album develop into nicely-received by employing critics, lots of which expressed wonder on the album's high quality (given their previous institutions of Burns as "only" a baby's communicate educate host). Burns observed up the album's launch with a international excursion in 2003 and 2004. Burns is at the moment engaged on a sparkling album. He has at the moment contributed a cover of they could be Giants' "useless" to an upcoming TMBG tribute album, hi Radio. Burns has an energetic voice-over occupation. His voice might want to be heard on distinctive Rubbermaid categorized classified ads, as well because the 1996 McDonald's commercial that presented the Arch Deluxe sandwich.

Yep, everyone is right. The reason he left was to finish college and pursue music. I heard the new guy on Blue's Clues is his brother but I don't know how true that is.

Quite the untruth. I kind of believed it myself for a while, until I saw him on MTV or something , promoting his indie album, called 'Songs for Dust Mites.' If you check out the link below, it gives you an article "debunking" the whole myth. Don't believe everything you hear! Hope this helps.

I never heard that, I heard he was replaced by Joe because he wanted to move on to bigger and better things. Although I don't think he found them because I haven't seen him yet. Or else he isn't wearing the shirt I am used to seeing him in.
