‘Blues Clues’ Is Coming Back with a New Host

And although a quick scroll through Steve’s page reveals he’s gone from children’s host to bonafide Bushwick hipster, he claims he did not leave the Nick Jr. show to start his own band, or anything like that. “No, no, no, no,” he continued in the HuffPo interview. “People think I left the show to pursue a music career.”

“That didn’t happen at all,” he explained. “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 the time. I just had a gut feeling like it was time to go.”
