Hey, remember Steve Burns, the khaki-clad sweetheart who helped us solve puzzles on Blue’s Clues back in the day? Well, brace yourselves, because the 52-year-old Nickelodeon legend just dropped a flirty little bombshell that’s got the internet buzzing with excitement!
During a candid chat on the October 22 episode of Alive with Steve Burns, the former kids’ TV host confessed he’s not exactly a pro at dirty talk - but he’s got a hilariously wholesome twist up his sleeve. Known for his gentle demeanor as the host of Blue’s Clues from 1996 to 2002, Steve is now toying with the idea of launching an OnlyFans account. And no, it’s not what you might think - it’s all about validation with a sultry edge.
“I’m thinking of dropping an OnlyFans where I just say super validating things in a dirty talk voice, like, ‘Hey, your perspective is just so incredible right now,’” Burns teased with a laugh.
Steve, who’s also a seasoned voice-over artist, admitted he’s not quite cut out for the typical risqué banter. “I can’t even bring myself to talk dirty,” he shared with a chuckle, reflecting on how his Blue’s Clues persona might forever keep him in the ‘nice guy’ lane. But when he started riffing on lines like, “What have you done to your hair? It looks absolutely fantastic,” you could practically hear the internet swooning.
His guest, Boy Meets World star Maitland Ward, couldn’t help but egg him on, noting the “grit” in his voice. And Steve didn’t hold back, playfully adding, “No, no, I’m totally listening. Tell me everything about Brenda at work.” It’s the kind of sweet, attentive vibe that’s got fans begging for more.
Speaking of fans, social media is absolutely losing it over this unexpected side of Steve. Comments are pouring in, with one user declaring, “Praise kink is real, Steve, and trust me, we’re here for it!” Another chimed in with, “Suddenly, millennial women everywhere have never wanted anything more.”
Others are already throwing their wallets at the idea, with quips like, “I’ve got adult money, let’s do this,” and nicknames like “Steven” popping up with some spicy emojis. It’s clear that a validating, clean-cut dirty talk from Steve could be the internet-breaking content we didn’t know we needed.
Since stepping away from Blue’s Clues in 2002 - remember that emotional “going to college” episode? - Steve hasn’t slowed down. He’s dabbled in indie rock with his album Songs for Dustmites, collaborated with Flaming Lips’ Steven Drozd on “Foreverywhere,” and even returned to the Blue’s Clues world for the 2022 film Blue’s Big City Adventure.
In 2023, he took on writing and directing duties for an episode of Blue’s Clues & You! titled “The Case of the Missing Thinking Chair.” It was a heartwarming full-circle moment for the star who shaped so many childhoods. So, while an OnlyFans might just be a playful jest for now, it’s clear Steve Burns still knows how to keep us guessing - and giggling.
