Earlier this week https://comicbook.com/tv-shows/news/blues-clues-steve-burns-returns-25th-anniversary-video-message of the hit Nickelodeon show. In the video, Burns addressed his 2002 departure from the series as well as uplifted viewers, applauding their accomplishments and changes since they last “met”, and told them he never forgot them and he was “super glad” they were still friends. It was a moving, emotional video that has gone viral with over 35 million views on Twitter at the time of this article’s writing, but Burns wasn’t done making the internet tear up just yet. He later appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and he brought more tears and hugs. In the appearance, host Stephen Colbert starts out by playing the video message and reacting to it himself, pretending to be unaffected - he was an adult, he said, it was his kids who were Blue’s Clues fans - but then acting just as emotional as everyone else at Burns’ message. Of course, Burns himself shows up to check on Colbert and it’s a safe bet that everyone lost it again when Burns and Colbert hugged it out before finding a clue to take to Blue. Check it out for yourself below.
