90’s ‘Blue’s Clues’ star Steve Burns reveals why he left

Blue’s Clues actor Steve Burns recently posted a social media tribute highlighting the real reason he left the show and even gushed over the strength of all his former 90’s fans who overcame their respective trials and tribulations for the sake of a future encompassing “student loans, and jobs and families.”

The heartwarming viral video has been posted to Nick Jr’s official Twitter page and features a loving note, and even a walk down memory lane for Burns who started his video off by saying, “You remember how when we were younger we used to run around and hang out with Blue, and find clues, and talk to Mr. Salt, and freak out about the mail, and do all the fun stuff? And then one day, I was like, 'Oh hey, guess what? Big news… I'm leaving.”

“I just kinda got up and went to college. And that was really challenging by the way, but great because I got to use my mind and take a step at a time and now I literally am doing many of the things that I wanted to do.”

“And then look at you, and look at all you have done, and all you have accomplished in all that time. And it’s just, it’s just so amazing, right? I mean, we started out with clues, and now, it’s what? Student loans, and jobs, and families? And some of it has been kind of hard, you know? I know you know.”
