- For years, all kinds of rumors have spread about Fred Rogers, mainly because people find it hard to believe that a man could really be that nice and wholesome, but the man you saw on Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood was the exact same man you would have met if you introduced yourself on the street.
In fact, the kindly TV host was bad at interviews, but only because he wanted to be friends with everyone who asked him questions. From the ways in which his show was seriously groundbreaking to his testimonies before both the Senate and Supreme Court, let’s take a look at the amazing truth about Mister Rogers.

What's your favorite memory involving Mr. Rogers?
yes

Grunge I got a kick outta the creepy puppets... I was a Mr dress up kid🇨🇦
Can you do a similar episode about Mr Dressup or Ernie Coombs.?
He’s the Canadian version of Mr Rogers. He got lots of fans up here in Canada 🇨🇦
Angelo Mendez.... you realize I’m talking about retro kids shows... I haven’t an idea what that is... 80’s kids programming... polka dot door, Fred Penner ,Today’s Special etc
the reason people today think he’s creepy is because there’s no matching kindness like that today.
Bruh I wish I grew up with this guy,
i never heard anyone creepy wow. i’m sad people feel this way. This is a man.
@@MasayaTina I think some people do think he is creepy, but only because a lot of faith (pun intended) has been broken. Which causes a lot a cynicism. Hard to believe a guy could have such a kind caring heart, and want nothing in return
@@voz3704 i couldnt have said it better

It was his life's work. He was an educator.
As a child I wrote to Mr. Rogers on numerous occassions and can attest to the fact that he did indeed personally respond to every letter. He replied to every single letter I sent him. And not with just a form letter. He would personalize every letter by including something in his reply to me about how much he liked a drawing I had sent him or bring up something that I previously mentioned to him (e.g. I was fascinated by traffic signals as a child, so he would include info or questions on that topic in his reply to me). I still have all the letters he wrote to me and a photo of Mister Roger's in a yellow sweater standing in front of an outdoor scene which he personally autographed to me and dated '1982'. He was truly an amazing man.
That's amazing, what a wonderful experience and treasure to have. I wish I would have known, I would have enjoyed writing him too.
I almost cried reading your comment. It must be devastating for you to know he passed. But legends never die. I hope he is doing well in heaven and he must be thinking about everyone who wrote to him. What a sweet man.
As JUICE WRLD Said “all the legends seem to die out
Mr. Rogers was so precious!
Cherish those letters. You have a piece of hand written history from a true angel. Thank you so very much for sharing
this brought tears in my eyes
In a lot of ways, as a Christan, I see Fred Rogers as a human embodiment of how Christ wanted us to behave and treat each other. And note, I don't just say "other believers" here, but EVERYBODY.
as an atheist, knowing the teachings of jesus, i always wonder why hardly any "proud" christian i met in my life was more like mr. rogers.
Then start practicing .....imitate him
@@TheWolvesCurse me too!!! Thank you for your humble message
@@lezel4swarts only if? I wish!!!!
@@TheWolvesCurse As a practicing Christian I completely agree with your point. There are far too many poser Christians who attend church for networking/business purposes. Jimmy Carter and Joe Biden are great examples of practicing the faith in modern times.
When I was a kid I asked my mom if I could write a letter to Mr. Rogers, and that was when she told me he had died. To this day, that has been one of the saddest moments of my entire childhood
Truly a momentary man
No well respected man
You may speak to him from deep inside your prayer closet child of God.
Mr Rogers did not die god just needed a neighbor
Great comment! 😊☝️
That's just beautiful and true.
It’s so true though,🥺😇
@@dparish100 hugs ❤
Umm... well, that doesn't take away that he died.

@@kaitlynchristian9704 It's synchronicity, it means our frequencies synced up.
Maybe if we work together, we can make millions of dollars, since we're on the same wavelength.
Can you imagine if we were all like Fred Rogers? What a wonderful world this would be.
Imagine if he had been president.
Former president Jimmy Carter is about as close to Fred Rogers as we will ever see! He dedicated his life to service, navy career attaining rank of captain of nuclear submarines. Became Governor of Georgia, and POTUS . Since leaving office he's very involved with organizations such as habitat for humanity and teaches Sunday school almost every week! He never lost his humanity ,treating people with kindness and respect .
Jay Long
I have often said that he was as close to a perfect man as we will ever see as president.
He would have to submit to being a puppet of the Central bank's and Corporation's. I doubt that would have gone over well with him.
WORLD PEACE SUDDENLY RISES TO 100%
@@TitanFormEren There's no profit in that and that's why somebody like Mr Roger's will never be president.
The greatest insult on earth:
“You’re not being the person Mr. Rogers thought you could be”
“You’re not being the person Mr. Rogers knows you to be”
I met Mister Roger when I was a small boy in Seattle. What a man of this world.
Who is "Mister Roger," according to you?
I am glad you can through stones like that.
@@dbelcher3249: Go through stones with... what: a drill? A tunnel-boring machine?
Why _couldn't_ he have met Fred, "@cash flow"? I met Tom Hanks, the guy who plays Fred in the movie. So then what: you're gonna try telling me that I'm a "liar"?
And that's impossible how? I've met many celebs in my time. My mom even used to party with Motley Crue way before I was born. Willie Nelson is my dad's fourth cousin. They don't keep celebrities in cages you know, they can go do what they want and meet who they like. If you talk to people or even your own family you'd be surprised at the connections made. Heck, even Tom Hanks found out he was in some way connected by family to Mr. Rogers himself. Why, considering all this, is it farfetched that he met him in Seattle? Many famous people frequent Seattle. Honestly, it makes me sad that people can watch a video about one of the kindest men that ever lived and actively ignore everything he was trying to teach. Try to ask more questions rather than tell someone they are lying. If it's true, you water down their experiences for them, and I would hate to do something like that to someone.
There's probably no one more deserving of the Presidential Medal Of Freedom.
The fact Ellen has one for diddly squat is pretty much the value it has lately
Nobel Peace prize winner too. Did he ever get that?
@@DragonWriter_YT I was just wondering the same thing after finding out Tom Hanks has done a movie about Mr. Rogers! Mr. Rogers was one of the best things about my otherwise hellish childhood. He was & is massively underrated and we should be talking more about him & encouraging more of his many messages to kids & adults on a daily basis.
Bob Ross or Bill Nye
Dave Ramsey deserves one.
I loved the scene of them soaking their feet in the pool, and seeing Mr. Rogers dry Officer Clemons’ feet. I grew up Christian and Mr. Rogers certainly was, as he was a minister and it was so integral in his life. It can’t have been an accident that he washed Clemons’ feet just as Jesus washed his disciple’s feet. To show that being a leader is not being above someone, but to serve them as Jesus would have. A true Christian man, and I believe that Jesus would be proud of Mr. Rogers 💖 (I’m not Christian btw but I found this so sweet and reminded me of those days).
SunnyStreet I saw that too ❤️
Sunny street I pray you’ve invited Jesus into your life and you know Him as your Lord and Savior.
Mr Rogers could stop Thanos by convincing him that all life is beautiful
Mr.Roger method of defeating Thanos: Be nice and make him his neighbor
Mr. Rogers: Sees he weighs 143 lbs
Mr. Rogers: How can I make this wholesome?
He'd say: 143 thats not even half of the percent i love you
I love you
If you add those numbers together it equals 8. 8 is the number of christ.
@Steve Ray 7 for christ + 1 for Mr. Rogers is 8. 8=Christ. Adds up.
What strange math is this here. Love measured in percent, Christ named like a Boeing. Looks like Chinese numerology
He got me through child abuse, anger, and depression. I'm now rocking solid! Thank you, Sir Fred, 🙏🙏❤️
lowkey crying cause we don't have people this genuine anymore, he was one of the most genuine people ever, and im only 17, I never grew up watching his show. But I see how genuine he is and its uncanny. No one could ever match it.
Mlm
That was beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
There are those people you just have to carefully separate the bad goats from the good sheep
There are so many people with hearts like his. You just have to look.
If you don't find any, BE one yourself ❤
When my children were young, we wrote to him. He wrote a letter back and sent two hand signed postcards. I still have them, tucked away with the baby scrapbooks. ❤️
Sen. Pastore: "We're going to cut funding for public television! There's nothing you can do or say about it!"
PBS: "Get Fred!"
And after that hearing, Rogers and Sen. Pastore became friends, staying in touch w/each other via letters...watching the clip, you could tell Pastore had turned a corner during the hearing when he asked for more information about MRN!
@Teddy James it is better to have the money than to let people who create terror with that money to have it

It is however a merchant republic, cue the Venice montage, what do you mean we don’t have a Venice montage, what this comment section isn’t a cheeky Internet show, and I need to go back to the psych ward?
I remember my real father mocking Mr. Rogers as I watched Mr. Rogers neighborhood when I was a child. I do not think my real father understood the show. As an adult looking back at it I have begun to understand what Mr. Fred Rogers was doing.
What was he doing? I've never watched a show, this is my first time hearing about the show.
@@imhulki463 Effectively teaching them how to be a decent person, unlike his real father apparently was.
Mr Rogers has an Asteroid named after him. Legend has it the Asteroid was on a direct course to hit the Earth until it was renamed, it miraculously changed course and whispered, 'Won't you be my Neighbor', as it passed by harmlessly.
Lmao
love that thx for sharing!
Those that disliked aren't being the people Mister Rogers knows them to be
Those are the people Fred would've befriended.
@@jeffreymliss He just wants to be friends with everybody, even the dislikers.
@@colleenpinto7530 He was truly a wonderful man and no one can ever hate him
I knew there was something very angelic about him. People that thought he was creepy were the ones hiding from repressed feeling. They didn’t have mister Rogers growing up lol
Those people are the creeps. He was such a precious man...but i do remember certain people saying those things about mr. Rogers... People arent right... Theres an earth angel/ saint and they poke fun. Mr. Rogers was my childhood
Beeing never in doubt, angry, anxious does not look natural to people.
Went through a rough patch, recently. Things felt pretty bleak. So, I went on YT and put on episodes of Mister Rogers. He used to really make me feel comforted when I was a little girl. And he's still very comforting today. What a beautiful soul!
I was too young to appreciate Mr. Rogers on TV, but when I heard him address the Ford Hall Forum, of which I was a member during seminary, I became a readily and enthusiastical convert to his kindly way -- and still am. I'm delighted to think that there's a moving picture out to celebrate his kindly, compassionate, and couragious TV and personal witness. He is one of my heroes, and I deeply honour his memory, and hope to follow his fine example.
I remember reading a comment about how Mr. Rodgers stopped a student from the university of Pittsburgh from committing suicide while on his way to give a speech at the university. I wish I could find that comment again because it is my favorite story about him and truly shows that Mr. Rodgers was a saint.
The definition of a saint is “A person acknowledged as holy or virtuous and typically regarded as being in heaven after death.” So Mister Rogers was a saint.
Very much so
His wife, actually stated he did not considered himself a Saint because that would mean it is something impossible to be for other humans. He always embraced his mistakes and make them powerful enough for the knowledge of everyone's childhood 💖
@@AriaAiri yes his wife has stated that... But just because he didnt consider himself a saint doesnt mean that he isnt considered one by everyone who adored him...
U often hear hero's saying they dont consider themselves a hero that they just did what was right.... Or what anyone would do..
Kinda the same scenario with Mr. Rogers not considering himself a saint.. But he was very much so
Airi Aria I’m really sorry for calling him a saint. Should I delete my comment?
@@anthonyelias6262 no way!! Dont delete ur comment because someone felt differently...mr. Rogers was a saint even if he didn't consider himself one... He truly was
When they said that Mr Rodgers died of stomach cancer my heart literally shattered into a million pieces.
A man that wholesome and loving did NOT deserve to die of stomach cancer!
We can most often say what a great man Mr. Rogers was and the truth is we are in many ways able to follow in his steps. So too all that read this comment.
_I love you just the way you are_
Mr. Rogers embodied hygge!
"fallow in his steps"?

Hearing about this man makes me almost cry because I would *love* to meet someone so incredibly unique like this man. He’s 1 in 7 billion.
Totally.
I can't watch even a few mins of Mr Rogers without getting choked up. He was such a genuine soul
Agreed
I grew up in Africa and moved to the US in the 2000. I was only marginally aware of Mr. Rogers' program, but his hearing at the Senate was something that literally changed my paradigm about what "though" ought to be. It was obvious to me that nothing about this man was rehearsed or scripted. The kindness and spontaneity of his answers and simplicity it all was always something that help shape the father was I was going to become.
💙How can a human be so nice if only you were still alive Fred we need you more than ever💜
M O O N C H I L D we don’t need him
@@yourinfoguy9595 what are talking about we need him
Nikki Holdmeier I’m sure that mr Rogers wouldn’t be okay with having thousands of people rely on him, he would have wanted us to do what was right, not depend on one human
It’s great Fred Rodgers is reentering the culture psych. There has been so much anger in the world. We need someone to reteach us kindness and cooperation.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kindness
I'm almost 30, Mr.Rogers still inspires me.
well I'm almost 50 & Mr. Rogers does the same for me
One thing I love about Mr. Roger's among others things, is that despite being a pastor, he doesn't flaunt it; he doesn't shove to everyone's throats about God, because he knows very well that everyone has different beliefs. His ways may be fully inspired by the Bible, but he delivered it in ways which are universal for everyone and anyone.
I’m just realizing HES the reason behind my entire outlook on life and mental health. It’s because of him. I grew up watching the show and didn’t realize how his words would be imprinted in my mind forever. It hadn’t even dawned on me why I even loved the show so much but it all comes full circle. He made me feel like I was special and that no matter what I was feeling I had the power to get through it. He made me feel safe and gave me hope in the sense that he taught me ways to deal with emotions I was told I didn’t have control over. I learned so much about life from him. I’m forever grateful to this wonderful man.
Mission accomplished for Mr. Rogers. I'm certain he would have been ecstatic to know this.
I wish he were still around. We need him now more than ever.
With everything that's been going on these past months I would like to hear what Mr. Roger's message would be to the world right now, his calm and gentle voice would put us all at ease
You know as someone who grew up watching his show and a little choked up when he passed, I'm still amazed about how much his legacy has lived on. Even after 17 years since he passed, every story shared has been an expression of just how much he cared about people. I hope one day that people realize his message that we are all one on this world. Just because someone thinks or looks different, doesn't make them you enemy .. just your neighbor.
Mr. Rogers was and is an "earth angel". You can't watch a video about him without crying. I'm crying right now because you can feel the love he had for humanity. Could you imagine how he would feel about the world if he were alive today. It would break his heart.
Mr. Rogers was a superhero.
Peace be to you,

As a grown man who has abit of an ego & temper I cried when he would speak of certain topics. What an amazing man he was. We can all learn a lot from a man of his compassion and kindness and love.
RIP Mr. Roger's.
All my love.
It's such a good feeling
To know you're alive
If ever there was a tragedy, it's that there aren't more good men like Mr. Rogers.
His voice is so comforting to hear...🤭🥺♥️
Mr Rogers knew how to do something that has become pretty rare nowadays : validating people.
In a highly competitive society it is very easy to fall into the trap of debasing (now people call it "cancelling") others, yet Mr Rogers knew that all human beings deserve respect and there is a lot of unfair stuff that happens (that's life) yet people should be allow to talk about it so that they might be able to process some of that stuff.
someone who suffered eating disorders growing up finding out Mr. Rogers kept his weight at 143 to tell himself “I love you” every morning made me cry. He is a amazing human being. ❤️
What a great man. GOD bless you sir.
I'm a man's man, and I love Mr Rogers.

Fred Rogers was an angel, a beautiful and wonderful gift to children and all of us. R.I.P.
He was an amazing man and proud he’s from Pittsburgh. I will always have a special place in my heart for him. ❤️
Wow, what a terrific guy. I do feel blessed to have watched him when I was a child. Mr. Rogers truly is one late great American hero.
I wish Mr. Rogers was alive now and could help us get threw this hard time in our lives
He was like a father to me. I remembering always turning the tv on few minutes before his show came on. On his last airing show, i cried my eyes out the entire night.
Brought A Smile To My 29 Year Old Face 😊 I'll Always Remember You Mr. Rogers 😇
I love growing up with Mr. Rogers. He was a beautiful soul.
I love going to the dentist as a small child due to him showing us that it wasn't scary. We share this beloved t.v. show with our children and grandchild now.
You forgot to add the 9/11 speech Mr. Rogers did after the attack.
Mr. Rodgers Didn’t Pass Away, God Just Needed A Neighbor ❤️
The movie made me cry a lot. I did miss his face tho, as pleasent as Tom Hanks is to see. Also- it's good to know my love of zombie movies is something I can have in common with Mr. Rogers.
Maybe he enjoyed Night of the Living Dead (the original) because of the character Ben played by Duane Jones?
Well.... it sort of makes sense in a way (especially for that time period when that film was released). Fred always reminded us to look for the helpers when times are tough and too scary. Ben was that helper that a frightened Barbara needed.... black man or not. Such a sympathetic and headstrong character Ben was made to be further made his death at the hand of an armed posse more tragic.
the movie was very good Tom Hanks nailed it
I was born in 1969 and grew up on Mr. Rogers. He is the absolute epitome of caring, tolerance, and encouragement. I cannot think of a person in the public eye who was more of a role model for everyone. It's almost impossible for me to think about what meant to me as a TV figure without tearing up. He was/is that good. I watched him every day, took mental notes, and always was inspired by his messages of love and acceptance.
Imagine, just for a moment, if we all had the heart and goodness of Mr Rogers. What a very different place this world would be.
Damn I wish I could meet his mother, just to kno how he was raised, how could u raise a child so well, she made a perfect man
You're a low level drug dealer.
I love how the titles of all videos surrounding Mr. Rogers have only positive words like amazing and wonderful.
Gonna be honest I had no clue who this guy was but I don't know why or how but as soon as I head him singing won't you be my neighbor it just sounds so.... familiar. It was super nice. I never knew him, but I wish I could've. I genuinely cried while watching this, and I haven't cried since my last pet died about a year ago.
One of the few famous people who lived up to the hype. He really was a nice bloke in real life. Amazing. You'd think being a good man would not be that hard, yet he was a rare dude.
fred rogers was the second coming of jesus christ i swear that man was literally the nicest, purest, and most wholesome human to ever walk this earth
Jesus was actually more aggressive and violent.
I loved him growing up as a kid. I knew he was real and never felt creepy. He was so
Genuine
I don’t think we had mr rogers in the uk. But from sound of thing, he was a real humble, intelligent, and sweet man. And I think we need someone like mr rogers today, to continue he’s amazing legacy 😊
Mr Rogers loved everything and everyone cause God wanted to show us through mister Rogers that the world could be welcoming
I only wished he was my father.... 😭 I loved watching Mr. Fred Rogers on tv.
I can't seem to watch anything about Mr. Rogers without crying. I wish he was still here to talk to us.
Senator Pastore, at first, treated Rogers like he was another sipher, until his genuineness showed thru.
At the end, he was giggling like a schoolboy and the room was full of smiles.
Not from the cash, but from Fred.
I always watch this clip to remember what genuine humanity can be and do to and for others.
The world need Fred Rodgers now more than ever
It truly was a beautiful day in the neighborhood when he was alive.
IF EVER, today the world needs a Mr Rogers more than ever... After watching the Tim Hanks bio movie again, I keep finding myself tearing up constantly at the mere thought of what a truly kind human being he was & how the world now seems to be seriously lacking such a person to potentially help us all hit the reset button. I couldn't even imagine how he would be able to digest today's seriously polarizing times, but could very easily seeing him make a public appeal to EVERYONE to remember where they came from and maybe even take the time to remember a time when they might have wanted to make real change (for good) in the world.... NOW is the time that we would truly beed HIM more than ever - coming from a person born (in 1965), just in time to be impacted by & remember the kind soul he was just as my own world was being shaped. I miss you Fred Rogers
I always felt guilty, as a kid, for being afraid of Mr Rogers, but in _my_ experience, someone _that_ nice could only mean that they couldn't be trusted. Boy do I feel bad now that I know he really was a wonderful man and set a fine example, as a human being.
I'm just happy to know I was so wrong.
Grew up watching Mister Rogers!
You're so lucky man
I ve never known mr rogers before this video. But im going to watch his show right now out of respect for this great human being.😎
Watching this video this morning was just what my heart needed. There is so much that we can learn from - Total sweetness.
Hi.. Rhonda
I remember my grandma saying kindness is now just a novelty from the old days...
He's my latest inspiration ❤️ great movie as well. " Everyone is deserving of respect and love, just the way they are"....he exlimpfied the meaning of unconditional love
His little laugh with the wicked witch of the west was hilarious yo😂😂😂
I had heard of but never actually watched Mister Rodgers as I am only a 15 year old. I expected nice but what I got was a wholesome, heartwarming story of a man doing good to our society.
this is one man i look up to with pride and honer. he is a beautiful human in and out. kind caring loving. and ONE person without scandal. i loved watching as a kid as did so many others.
We lost such an amazing and wholesome man.
I feel like I’m gonna cry watching this
There's just nothing bad anybody can say about Mister Rogers other than the fact that he is no longer here. That's the only bad thing anybody can say about him. Thank you for posting this. I never knew he liked zombie movies.
Mr. Rodgers is a one of a kind. The one we should strive to be, but no one that is born into this planet would ever be such a person
Seeing true happiness makes me sad
That's the first time I've seen Prince Tuesday as a young boy. I'd outgrown the show around the time the King and Queen had the baby (only saw him as waving arms and legs in a cradle)
I grew up watching Mister Rogers and was so sad when he passed away in 2003...and, again, just a few months ago when his wife, Joanne, passed. 😪 He was a gem, and I hope current and future generations will continue to watch Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. We need more people like him in this world. RIP Fred & Joanne Rogers. You are greatly missed. ❤
Mr. Rogers seems to be a TV personality in USA, but is completely unknown outside. The movie with Tom Hanks changed that. Hollywood has a worldwide auditory. So now people start googling for him and find things like this video.
Hes so nice its creepy some times and it's good he never was a pee wee herman or something sick and twisted because he proved that not everyone is a creep and some people genuinely are filled with love and hope
It inspires me now in my adult hood
I seriously want to date someone like him
Finally a Grunge video with an adjective other than disturbing or worrying. Respect to the neighbour himself. Very nice.
I remember that episode with the actress of the witch! It really did calm my fears. I must admit, I've watched a few old episodes here on yt for the nostalgia. Love you Fred xo
Mister Rogers means more to me than the Pope and for me is more of a better man in all ways
