  Steve Burns, the host of 'Blue's Clues,' has moved on
  He mentioned why he left the show in the clip: to attend college.
  The animated blue dog Blue's Clues and his owner, voiced by Steve Burns, was the first broadcast on Nick Jr. in 1996.
  The show is educational, with Blue leaving paw prints all over the place to assist kids to figure out what he'll be doing for the day.
  When Burns left the program "abruptly" in 2002, he presented the viewers to his "younger brother" Joe, played by Donovan Patton.
  While Burns is no longer the show's host, he has stayed involved with the children's show, writing and producing several episodes as well as assisting in the selection of a new host for the resurrection series in 2019: Joshua Dela Cruz.
  Steve and Joe even made an appearance on the show to introduce their "relative" Josh, who would be assisting them in finding Blue's clues.
  What Was the Reason for Steve Burns' Departure from Blue's Clues?
  Burns returned to Twitter to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Blue's Clues, speaking to older fans who grew up watching him.
  "You remember how we used to run about 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 when we were younger?
  " he said. Joe is my younger brother and your new best friend.'
  "After that, I boarded a bus and went, and we didn't see one other for a long time." Is it okay if we just talk about that?"
  He admitted that his departure was "a little abrupt," but that he did so to attend college, which he described as a "difficult" time for him.
  He congratulated his supporters on their achievements over the last two decades, joking that they "all started out with clues and now it's, what?
  "Student loans, careers, and families are all intertwined."
  Burns acknowledged that some of these things have been "a little difficult," but praised the fans for their support, saying he couldn't have done it all without Blue's Clues.
  "In fact, all of the help you gave me when we were younger is still helping me today, right now, and that's very great," he continued.
  He then told all the supporters that watched him that he "never forgot you, ever," but that he had grown up and matured since then.
  While his letter stated that he attended college, he told HuffPost in 2016 that he left because it was "the appropriate moment."
