Remember Blue’s Clues?
When I was a kid, I had this quilted stuffed dog with button eyes I called “Blue Dog” (at eight, my creative think-outside-the-box skills were quickly formulating, obviously). So, naturally, I thought it was the coolest thing when there was a T.V. show about my cotton filled canine made of bedcovers – giving out clues.
Then, Steve’s hosting of it ended. And it did so in a fiery gossip pile – just like other kids show hosts’ terminated careers. Which reminds me: can someone tell me what else PeeWee Herman’s supposed to do in a darkened theater playing a fckk film? Wasn’t there more important police business that day than picking on men trying to burgle their own meat in peace? Who’s gonna be offended by that? (“Sir! Put that away! My children are right here!”)
(The un-aired episode from when Steve had Pee-Wee as a special guest)
Rumors ranged from “Steve went to college” to “Blue got him hooked on Mr. White’s Crystal Blue” (or was it heroin – which is kinda the exact opposite of meth? And how anachronistic is that reference?) to “Steve moved on for his music career”. It didn’t matter. What actually happened, according to Steve himself is that he was getting older and didn’t wanna go bald alongside his cartoon clue giving pal. As he said, he’d never planned to do children’s shows his whole life and “refused to lose his hair while on a kids’ T.V. show.” He’s since done a couple acting gigs and made music.
This one’s fun. Reminds me of I was working a 9 to 5 job and coworkers wanted to hang on the weekend:
So was this true? Did Steve leave us because his hair was leaving him? Or was he just doing that thing where people make up super involute lies to cover up smack habits because the fabrications seem too strange to be falsehoods wrought from creative mind machinations?
I haven’t the slightest clue- No, wait! There’s a clue! Right there under his P-Diddy party gear! Ahhh, we see the green shirt, Steve. Y’ain’t fooling anyone.
What he’s “doing on Saturdays” is moolighting with Blue. Clearly.
