The youngins were learning all about following directions and collecting clues from Steve and Blue on Blue's Clues.

Steve Burns hosted the show from 1996 until 2002 and was nominated for a Daytime Emmy in 2001. But when Steve left the show, to "go to college," fans determined there was something else going on.

From there wild rumors started about Burns and his whereabouts and every few years one rumor gruesome rumor would make the rounds: Steve Burns is dead.

Contrary to the internet rumors Steve Burns is alive and well.

Over the last few years, Burns became an unsung hero on social media checking in with his millennial fans during the craziness of COVID and just being an overall comforting presence.

Burns has turned those awful internet rumors about his existence and turned it into a show called: Steve Burns Alive.

According to the show description this "heartfelt monologue" is intended for adults only. However, the show will explore "how the rumors of his death gave him a new perspective on life" and how he came to terms with being known as "Steve" from Blue's Clues.

Is Steve Burns a New Yorker?

Kind of.

According to an article for Variety that was published back in November 2022 he's lived in New York for a few years.

When you think actor and NY you probably think New York City, right? The article shares that Burns has been living in a town in the Catskill Mountains (he didn't want the town named shared, and we can't blame him). Burns has been an Upstate, New York resident for over 6 years.

Burns was born and raised in Pennsylvania.

During graduation season, Burns was invited to be the Commencement Speaker at SUNY Delhi in Delaware County.
