Burns stepped down from hosting the popular children's program in 2002 after six years, leaving his young audience in the hands of his "younger brother" and replacement host, Joe. In the three-part special, viewers watched Burns pack for college, teach Joe how to play "Blue's Clues," and then leave the beloved animated house where the show was set.
His departure sparked rumors that he had died in a car accident or had a drug addiction, so Burns eventually appeared on Todayto explain how parents could handle kids' questions about him.
Since leaving the show, Burns has had a handful of minor acting roles and released three albums, the last of which is for children.
