Do you remember the hit Nickelodeon TV series, Blue’s Clues?

Well if you do, you’ll remember when popular host Steve Burns abruptly left the show in 2002 and was replaced by someone else.

Since then, rumours spread that the host had died of a drug overdose or was even killed in a car crash (none of which is true by the way).

In a recent interview, Steve talked to The Huffington Post about his departure from the show saying, “I left the show because it was just simply time to go. I was pretty much playing a boyish, older-brotherish kind of character on the show. I was getting older; I was losing my hair; a lot of the original gangsters on the show, like the people who created it, were all moving on to other careers. It just felt like time. I just had a gut feeling like it was time to go.”

One popular rumour was that Steve left to pursue a music career; he shut that rumour down as well saying, “That’s actually not true…No, no, no, no. People think I left the show to pursue a music career. That didn’t happen at all.”

He added, “I certainly wasn’t leaving ‘Blue’s Clues’ to pursue a large music career because that never even happened. That was just a wonderful dream come true, [a] hobby thing that happened after ‘Blue’s Clues.’”

He also added that he no longer gets recognized for being on the show, “Oh, my God, no. I have to convince people. No, I look much more like Moby if he had a real problem with pad Thai than I do like Steve from “Blue’s Clues.” I really do. I’ve gotten into arguments with people about it.”

I can definitely see the Moby comparisons…
