Fred Rogers was a prime example of living in the world but not being corrupted by it.
That’s a lovely idea 💡 thank you for that sentiment
Amen!
In the world but not of it.
The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: REPENT YE, AND BELIEVE THE GOSPEL.
THE GOSPEL (which means the Good News) is the news that God Almighty, the Creator came in the flesh as Jesus Christ to take away the sin of the world. He gave up his own life to save ours. His sacrifice on the cross paid the price for our redemption with his own blood. On the third day he rose from dead and offers the gift of salvation and forgiveness to those that repent and trust in him.

Amazin!
I’m 44 and I grew up watching Mr. Rogers. The older I get, the more I realize that we need more people like him.
AMEN!
We need more Fred rogers now more than ever
We need more men like Mr Rogers. He really cared about humanity.
Please check out my independent original show Mister K's Clubhouse... I grabbed a lot of inspiration from shows like Mister Rogers. Let me know what you think you get the chance?
Hey, I'm 44 too! Wanna play? 😁
People laughed at Mr Rogers, but he was ahead of his time when it came to dealing with childhood psychology. He taught us about who we were, he taught us that we were all special in our own way - even if we were different, he taught us who to be more loving & empathetic, and he taught us how normal emotions were.
As someone who is nearly 40, I appreciate him more the older I get.
You couldn't have said it better. He will never be replaced. I'm 51...
The audience stopped laughing at his speech pattern fairly quickly, though!
they weren't laughing At him, they found some of the things he said genuinely funny. That's a distinction that I think is important to make; that the way they saw him was consistent. they stayed the people they were the whole time. When Mr Rogers was speaking to the president on why PBS should be funded $1million (much more in today's dollars), the president wasn't some kurmudgen whose heart was melted by mr. roger's charm -- the president was tired, skeptical and suspicious, and the more details fred gave the more he agreed with him.
❤
We all enjoyed George Michael music have no problems . It's all a myth and it's a secret hate group . Because denying biological realities is unhealthy and a whole other thing. Now it's a social contagiant every child is doing it
I'm one of "Mr. Rogers' kids." The man was a gem, and I'm grateful for his time on Earth.
Right? Im 55yo. How blessed are we to have bn little kids growing up with his love & teachings.
I’m 46 and I remember when I was dating this girl, I introduced her son Luke to Mr. Rogers.
My parents were going through their divorce when I was little and an episode on Divorce happened to be on MRN. He made it very clear that it wasn’t my fault. It made an enormously positive impact on me.
You'd think that Mr. Rogers addresses children when he talks on TV... but I do think sometimes he tries to address the adults that also might be watching. In terms of the divorce shows, one of the best things he said was "Things like buying houses, having babies... and getting divorces... are ADULT problems..." he wasn't just addressing a child, he was addressing newly single parents that might be involving their children with the divorce difficulties. When my parents divorced, it never occurred to me that it might be MY fault... perhaps because Dad said that it was he and my Mom that were having problems, but fortunately their problems NEVER leaked onto me or my brother. We NEVER knew they were having issues, and fortunately their issues didn't cause any hatred with each other. They were just two people with entirely different outlooks and were incompatible, but could remain friendly.
@Eric Pitt. I think that is a wonderful testimony to Fred Rogers and how much he helped children. There are no doubt many others who were helped by that episode, and millions of children who were helped by him during the time he was on the air. You may have turned out differently if he had not assured you that your parents’ divorce wasn't your fault. I think that's awesome.
Oh what a blessing he was to you and so many of us.
I’m so glad he could help you in some ways get through such a tough time.
😢 Sad
Mr. Rogers was brilliantly insightful and sensitive with children.
We need lots more of him around...
It seems that Mr. Rogers is more comfortable in his own skin than any man on earth.
Best comment here. That's what I loved about Fred. Not a hint of guile in his universe.
My God you nailed it
Just my take, Fred Rogers was the best poker player of all time. He kept his personality the same, at every moment and forced everyone else to change theirs. Which made him unreadable and everyone else easily unveiled.
This is a prime example, Carson has to tone it down and measure what he is saying and Rogers just keeps sailing straight ahead the whole time.
Comfortable in his skin? He certainly was. He swam laps in the buff every morning. #lifegoals
I would like to have been friends with him. What a nice man
What's so compelling about this interview is how determined Carson is NOT to make fun of Rodgers; his audience is almost perplexed by him and starts laughing at everything the man says. But Carson is focused on treating Rodgers with respect and even deference - to his experience in TV to his gentle nature to his work with children. At all times, Carson refuses to give into easy laughs or the audience's desire to laugh at Rodgers. Good interview.
Mr Rodgers was not the usual bait for talk shows, the audience was expecting him to be a comedian or some kind of gag act.
I was thinking the same thing. Especially after watching him on Letterman, where the audience laughed a lot more and Letterman kept trying to bait him. Completely disrespectful
I agree. Two good men respecting each other's value & differences. Beautiful
@@Phantomphan613 I just watched the Letterman interview. Honestly I think partly through it (after "Happily it didn't"), Letterman realizes that he is annoying/disappointing Rogers and sincerely wants to stop doing that. So he stops trying to be funny, but then he doesn't really know what to do instead.
Like when Rogers is talking about the hairspray/lighter thing, Letterman seems like "I know he's being serious, I don't want the audience to laugh at him, but I don't know how to change the topic without interrupting him, what do I do?"
Carson is just a much more skillful interviewer, and also seems to be much more comfortable with nothing funny happening for long stretches. A lot of his interviews get into this kind of Charlie Rose territory where he's just being intellectually curious about the guest's career and ideas, and the jokes just come in here and there as an afterthought.
I think it may have started out that way in a humorous tone with the audience, but the more people saw how genuine and charming Fred Rogers was, the more enchanted they became with him. His interviewers were even taken in by him, Joan Rivers for one. When you see a genuinely good person, people know it and recognize them as something special.
Audience members are giggling expecting to see a gag, they have or had no idea this man is one of the most honest to walk this earth. May he Rest In Peace knowing he changed the world for so many
Mr. Rogers accidentally became one of the people Pranked by the show candid camera. They did something that would upset many people by having everything in a hotel room broken including the TV. But Mr. Rogers calmly talked to “the manager” and said that’s fine, I’ll just read my book by the window and then go to bed. It wasn’t that funny, but it was unbelievably heartwarming. Mr. Rogers is probably in the throne room of God. Technically it’s Reverend Rogers, he was a pastor, the only pastor many of us ever had.
@@SRose-vp6ewWhen I see so many people who profess to be religious and yet act with little or no compassion, especially toward the most vulnerable, to act and speak with such hatred, it's comforting to think of Mr. Rogers as being what a Christian person SHOULD be, how they should behave. I'm not religious myself, but when I was young, I actually expected that religion would make you a better person. I don't believe that now - but a few, like Fred Rogers, actually LIVED it.
I love how the audience is just too cool for Mr Rogers at the beginning of the interview, they laugh at his uncomfortableness and peaceful manner. Within a couple of minutes though, they're quiet and paying attention. Mr Rogers was so earnest, honest and forthright that they quickly respect him. You can tell instantly there's no pretension with Fred Rogers, he is confident in who he is.
They went from laughing at him to "I love this man"
Reminds me of the saying "yell at people and they will tune you out..whisper and people will strain to listen"....think we need to whisper to one another more these days
@@livingourdestiny9075 nailed it, thank you!🤗
He said it the other time he was on the tonight show, but I think a lot of the people are laughing because they know him and are almost in shock in a way to be seeing him in person. I think it's more of a giddy/nervous laugh than anything.
Mr Roger by korn brought me here
Mr. Rogers was there for you in the morning, while Johnny Carson was there for you at night. They will both be missed.
Joseph Logsdon I love this!
They ARE missed--
Very well said.
Every day, brah.

"I hope we didn't offend anyone by intentionally making fun of you"
"Most people i know like fun just as much as you do"
Mister Rogers was national treasure.
Still is in my eyes
So was/is Johnny.
@@justintime1343 Johnny Bravo?
@@KaityKat117 Johnny Appleseed.
Of coarse on 2021 overly sensitive people like to ruin fun instead of having it.
I cry everytime I see Mr. Rogers now because he was such a comfort to me when I was growing up. I was one of the older kids watching him while surviving a very difficult childhood. He is so special!
I do too. For the same reasons. He felt like a real friend. I didn't know how important he was until I was older.
He was actually a Reverend. The only pastor many children had.
@@SRose-vp6ew But he never talked about religion. He taught the principles of Christ without mentioning Him or any Dieties.
I love how even though the audience began to laugh, Carson ignored it and really mellowed down to Fred’s attitude. I can just imagine if it were any other host today, they’d go in for the cheap laughs. But no, Carson was a great interviewer who respected his guests.
Amen. I hate when they constantly try to get laughs, many times at the guest’s expense. I enjoy watching talk shows when the guest is allowed to speak and get their points and ideas across without being interrupted so much by the host either talking over them or trying to be funny all the time.
Carson was a class act. You are so right. He knew exactly what to do, how to do it, and when. No one like him. And he interviewed Mr. Rogers perfectly (who I LOVE). Admire both men so much...
Him coming from the midwest probably helped him with those quality traits.
@Craig G perhaps Dave made an exception for Mr Rogers - ruclips.net/video/XKjKZKpEkVY/видео.html
Absolutely! You won't see that today.
They laughed at first but quickly realised how important he was to kids based on Johnny’s reaction
So true. He won them over with his decency and wisdom.
Yes, I was quite irritated with the audience for laughing at him. I thought it was extremely rude. He did finally win them over, thankfully, but I was still irritated with them. He was a kind and gentle man and certainly did not deserve that treatment. Johnny did a great interview, though.
@@janetbonner8735 Totally agree, I'm not even 4 minutes into this video and already I'm wishing I could be there to tell them to shut up, jeez...
What are you talking about? They laughed inappropriately all the way through
It seemed to have taken a few minutes for them to realize he wasn’t staying “in character.” After a few exchanges they realized Fred Rogers is “Mr. Rogers” and it wasn’t an act. Obvious they’d caught on when they gave him an audience wide applause.
"Most of the people that I know like fun just as much as you do."
Fred Rodgers was a legend.
A real kind soul.
Carson is more of legend when he says "will you be my neighbor" insinuating adult fun from the "people" Me Rodgers said he knew liked to have fun.
Fred Rogers loved all the people that parodied him
Even when Eddie Murphy did it he loved every second of it
@@cliffcorson4000 He did! He said that he thought it was very funny for the grown-ups.
@@cliffcorson4000 He took a picture with Eddie. There was one though I do remember Fred Rodgers getting very angry about. It is talked about in his documentary and book they wrote on him. There was a radio dj who, in a Mr. Rodgers voice, was telling children to play with fire or something like that. That one made him furious, though more because he was putting children in danger/telling them to do horrible things. You are right though, he took most of them with as much humor as he could for the most part.
That was pure gold ❤️😎
Many, many people that are living in our world today are decent because of Mr. Rogers. He came into the homes of children who had a single parent, foster parents or no parents at all. A good friend of mine came from an abusive home where both of his parents were alcoholic/drug addicts. He shared with me that Mr. Rogers was the only time in his day where he saw healthy relationships and normalcy. He's a counselor now at a rehab that has helped thousands stay sober. Fred Rogers was a gift to this world.
Old children's programming in general had a positive impact on so many of us.
What a PROFESSIONAL talk show host looks like.
Isn't it ashamed he would be hated, ostracided, and possibly arrested with prosecuted for bigotry TODAY if the democrats take over the senate for stating on the air that boy girl message,,,he would definitely be fired.
I would say he's far from the ellen D look,,in fact if she watched this, I wonder what her or it would react to that boy girl thing.
@@johnnytd1128 That is the thing, Fred didn’t care about what adults thought, but what kids did.
@@JasonSavorn yeah I get it, but kids grow up to adults and his ministry calling was to nurture them with a sound mind not to grow up the corrupt minds you see being exposed.
@@johnnytd1128 truth. Our neural pathways develop between 6-12 years of age.
Slowly, the audience stops giggling at Mr. Rogers as they realize he is the real deal, a genuine Bodhishattva.
I was wondering why they laughed at everything that even clearly wasn't a joke
@@Peppers19781978 It was wrong for them to laugh and quite disrespectful as well!

@@Peppers19781978 They laugh because it's a surreal moment to meet a well known legend like Mr rogers in real life and he sounds and is just the same as in the show so people can't help but laugh they are giddy
@@fooltowise6582 The 80s was a great time and people were better than now Period!!!!!
This man did better teaching kids things more than what schools did
100% agree on that. Today's kids TV programs are nothing compared to Mister Rodgers.
You know what's really wonderful? The little things. You notice when he's speaking the lyrics to his song, just to explain them.. he quickly speeds up the part that's repeated, because he knows the audience heard that part already and doesn't need to get bored. It's just a simple natural thing, but it shows he's not in love with his own voice, and that his famous long, careful method of speech was by no means the result of a slow wit or boredom with his material. Rather, it's a deliberate way to make sure the things he says are clear and understood.
he taught the basic social skills that parents should be teaching their kids.
Depends on what region of USA, schl dist. & most of all...Teacher. public school was VERY diff in the 70's when I was a kid. Mr Rogers was an amazing, & more than welcome, addition to our elementary school day. So exciting when our teacher would roll the TV into class & Mr Rogers would talk to us & teach us like he does...mostly how to be a truly Christ-like human being.
@@Babarudra ppl can only teach what they know. In Charlie Rose intrvw Mr. Rogers said "Attitude is CAUGHT, not TAUGHT".
ALSO: There are actually ALOT of EXEMPLARY parents who did/are doing a WONDERFUL job. It would be far more honest for you to say "SOME/MANY parents..." rather than insinuate ALL parents...unless thats your orbit & you just arent in an area where good parenting exists. Ive seen docs of certain communities of the USA into which Id have never brought a child if thats where I was/was stuck in.
PS: Have you seen the Movie "Mr Roger's neighborhood"? I did...just 2days ago. It is AWESOME! The part that surprised me is when he "admitted" to the journalist that his younger son "tested" him there for awhile (they found their way, but one would think he would never have those issues with any/either of their kids.
I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Rogers many years ago at a PBS pledge drive and found him to be one of the nicest, most humbling men I ever met. May his wonderful soul rest in peace.
This shows why Johnny was the best interviewer on television. And it shows the persona of Fred Rogers. Two trusted titans of television.
That’s a little jest at the beginning of the show Before the interview gave a great juxtaposition of the two
This ole world would be a much better place if more was like Mr Rodgers, truly a decent human being may he RIP 🙏
What a great man he was and in 1980 the world was such a much better place to live in, however today's young people couldn't care less about Mr. . Rogers or the past when people acted better especially in public and had a moral view of the world! Things will never be the same ever again, look at these two icons nobody is like this anymore and it's a horrible shame!!!!!
Carson was classy and respectable in this interview. He interposed a little bit of humor but he kept it above board for the most part.
@@bravobravoh1344 Yes he did Johnny Carson knew how to be Very Professional at all times !!!!!
@@scottmiller6495 i agree it is sad where things have gone and how degeneracy is glorified nowadays an with that comes serious ramifications. And who suffers the most from it all is always the kids smh
@@bravobravoh1344 yes I know an my comment wasn't a knock on Carson.
love you man.. we all wish you were still here for us
Amen.
Amen to that. Nowadays kids are being played on and brainwashed it's really 😭
He's still here for us, just as long as we remember his words.
Fred Rogers may be the best human being that ever lived. If there were more people like Mr. Rogers the world would be a much better place.
Jimmy Carter was another.
Fred Rogers was probably one of the nicest, most decent human beings ever.
He connected with children because he spoke to them in a non-condescending manner and always respected their innocence and curious nature. He understood children in a way many adults could not and kids could sense that connection. Those who were of the age and lucky enough to watch his show while he was still actively producing them (myself included) remember so many of the lessons he gently taught and have no doubt benefited from them. His true gift to the world was the notion of love, acceptance and appreciation of who you are and of others who may look or talk or seem different than you. Thank God for him, the only problem is the Mr. Rogers mold was broken a long time ago and there will never be another one like him
Mr. Rogers talked AT you when you watched his program back in the day.
If you're implying that he spoke to his viewers without getting a response from them directly, well of course he did. Do you think he expected to? The fact that his program ran for so many years and the positive responses he received is evidence that his formula worked
As a child, I always felt like he talked down to kids. I still do, although now I believe it wasn't intentional, just his way of talking.
@@SR-iy4gg as host and often sole performer, he had to lead the interaction between himself and his assumed audience. His manner was gentle, which is the approach someone concerned with treating their counterpart with dignity would look. Interesting how your response conflates calmness with passive-aggressiveness. Bombast is not an essential part of honest communication; quite the opposite, in fact.
That's 💯 percent True!
I was blown away at the amazing timeliness of what was being talked about during the interview: giving children COMFORT when things around them seem so uncertain and scary.
Way to go, Johnny and Fred, for being as genuine as you can be throughout!!!
I think it's more giving them context for their fears and not being dismissive, so they would no longer fear.
Mr Rogers was there for me as a kid and still there for me as a 43 year old man.
nobody like him in this universe.
46 here and still love Mr. Rogers!
20 years old here he spanned many generations
I wish I could make half the impression on the planet that wonderful man did while he was here!
Bob Ross is a close second
@@atranfanatic 46 here and love this man!!
When my daughter was 4-5 years old, she used to love watching Mr. Rogers. It was her favorite show. When he said "Will you be my friend?", she would be watching intently and silently nodding her head. Sweet.
That's adorable. I hope you tell that story someday at her wedding.
Adorable I hope she's doing well
this made my heart so happy 🥺💕
That was so beautiful to read ❤️
😭
This man helped shape my mind as a child. He showed me kindness when my home life did not. I'm sure he did this for millions and millions of young one. To be so soft spoken he is such a great example of what a great man is...he seems like,,well ... just love. Lovely man.Wonder if he knew what he did
I have been in some very difficult situations which I solved simply by asking someone, "Are you being the person Mr. Rogers knew you could be?" The man is a totem of peace, acceptance, and true unity. For a lot of people, he was a rock of stability in a turbulent world. We love you, Mr. Rogers.
I ran into Fred at a Howard Johnson's elevator in Boston in 1984. He could have got on to the elevator I had just got off, but stopped to chat a while and offered to send signed photos to my daughter (which he did). He was genuinely a giving person.
That is awesome!! You're so lucky to have met him. May he Rest in Peace. ❤❤❤
I had a friend back in the 80s that had a daughter that loved Mr Rogers. She wrote a letter to him and he returned a handwritten letter back to her with signed photos and other things. The man truly walked his talk
These two men are missed, especially here in 2020
Are you kidding; Truer words have never been spoken!!!!!
2021 as well. You nailed it.
They sure are.
Wholesomeness never goes out of style.
I loved Mr. Rogers, such a kind soul. I would watch his show in 1968, i was actually 18 years old. I found him Mesmerizing
Fred Rogers is one of those once in a hundred years human being, the kind who really makes a profound difference to society.
I truly agree and his presence has been desperately missed. RIP Mr. Fred Rogers and to Johnny Carson as well.
I wasn’t sure about Mr Rogers. As a kid I loved him but as I aged, I was always skeptical of why someone would spend so much time with kids. After learning about his life, I was so wrong. A great Christian, a great man, and a wonderful outlook on life.
Something modern society really tries to do now is make us suspicious of anything good. They sell the idea that the world really is just rotten, and everyone has another motive, because that sells news clicks. But even when it's true, it's much more harmful to assume that, instead of hoping for the best and being wrong sometimes.
@@KairuHakubi Right, we've become so cynical that even basic decency befuddles us.
@@JMT1985MO The media and social media makes people that way. We are constantly flooded with images and stories based on the worst of humanity instead of the best.
Your comment speaks volumes about you and your distrust of a gentle man .
Now look into who Michael Jackson really was..... 😢😢😢😢 The perversion is thinking the only reason a man would want to be around children is to F%#K them. Think about how crazy THAT is! 💕💞
Fred Rogers was brilliant.
a natural in child development and psychology, he knew not every child had a parent or role model to help them make sense of the world and grow in self confidence.
likewise, he knew many parents were just like those kids--and might learn important life skills as well.
the Fred we saw on screen, was the same person off.
if anyone deserved sainthood, Mister Rogers was it
🏆 ❤️ 💫
Such a kind, gentle , genuine man. So many people were affected by his work, me included. What a legacy to leave behind.
Although he was made fun of and laughed at, Mister Rogers served a vital role in the development of countless children who watched him. It's a shame that his congeniality, his empathy, and his good examples for children aren't found in many adults today. I love how Johnny Carson, while first approaching this interview with humor, ultimately gave seriousness and credibility to this man for what he did for children.
You're right but ask people especially the younger ones 35 and younger about this or Mr. Rogers or anything about the past or the great 1980s and see the response you get, it won't be nice because they couldn't care less!!!!!

@@jlgunn922 That's rediculous if nobody tries to change the way things are and mindset that today's young people have on the world, then nothing will change! I'm not histerical just tired of many people 30 and under not being interested in the past because it was better than now and seniors now 60 and over being disrespected for knowing something and having more kindness and morality!!!!!
@@jlgunn922 Very good you are absolutely right, thank you!
to be fair, all the mister rogers parodies seemed to be more parodies of children's entertainment as a whole, never making fun of Fred specifically. I think the increasing sophistication of mister rogers and sesame street, actually aiming at specific targets with their messages and such, instead of just the harmlessly bland pablum of old cowboy puppets and pie-throwing clowns, threw popculture for a bit of a loop. They just liked to parody Fred because... well, his mannerisms are distinctive and he's a lot cheaper to imitate than a muppet.
We could use some Mr. Rogers wisdom now.
In this world of immoral people and young people who don't give a damn about him or the world back in 1980, it's impossible and very sad !!!!!
There is always reruns.....i'm sure you can catch old shows someplace.
Especially with the way bratty kids are being raised in America.
He is one of the only humans on Earth who could lift Thor’s hammer.
Boys are boys from the beginning and Girls are girls from the start...✨
This makes me tear up. Reminds me of a much simpler time. I love that I get to witness an explosion of advancement in my life but desperately miss the simpler time.
You know, Fred Rogers was humble, kind and brilliant and PBS NEEDS TO AIR his program again, like they used to. My kids were relaxed and attentive when his program was on.
I'm 70. I never had kids, but I watched Mr Rogers a lot. He was an exceptional person and it was a wonderful show.
how’s life with having no kids? stress free? most adults tell me they have more of a purpose in life when they have kids
@@jessiegonzalez5906 I would love an answer to this too
I’ve known several adults that never had kids. They either never wanted kids to begin with, or they say they treat other kids as their own.
what's it like to get to 70 years old and still have nothing interesting to say
@@TheBigMclargehuge Took you an entire year to come up with that?
Fred Rogers. Class personified.
A genuine, beautiful soul…..children of today need him.
I am 48 years old and I Feel so lucky that I grew up watching Mr. Rogers❤ There's no pretension about him at all and he is who he is. I felt as though he was speaking directly to me.❤ Thank you Mr. Rogers in heaven for being there for us when we needed you, as kids, and as adults❤ Lord knows we Need you now more than ever!!!!❤🙏
Johnny Carson, besides being an extremely funny man, was just a masterful interviewer. He is so respectful here, allowing Mr. Rogers to get his points across, and gently asking pertinent questions. The audience is primed to laugh, mainly because Mr. Rogers is the exact same man he is on his TV show, but Carson guides him right through and he wins over the audience. Most interviewers today interrupt their guests and make it mostly about them. This is how it's done. Just great.
I agree, today's talk show hosts need to just shut up and let the guest speak.
@@dekelanson5280 I watched Colbert interview Obama and, every other second, he's got to make some lame joke to show how smart he is, instead of letting his guest speak. They all do it, you're right. Carson could have easily let this interview get out of hand with the audience having some laughter at Mr. Rogers expense - instead he guides it along like a pro with respectful questions.
@@matthewgallagher1761 Carson was the master. There never will be another like him.
@@dekelanson5280 True but lets not forget 3 others who were terrific also: Mike Douglas, Merv Griffin and Dinah Shore!!!!!
@@scottmiller6495 You're right there. They were good.
One day outside WQED in Pittsburgh Fred Roger’s car was stolen. The news did a story on it. The next day his car was back in front of the studio with a note apologizing for taking Mr. Roger’s car. He had power just from his kindness and how much he cared.
Wow.
Very powerful
Wow. He touched a car thief without their meeting. That shows the power of both sincerity and TV.
www.snopes.com/fact-check/remorseful-car-thieves/ Although it's a great story, whether or not this actually happened is unproven....
@@eastdragon42 back in 1997, there was a article about mr rodgers in the newspaper about that. I wish I had the article but I remember it happened in 1981 in front of his house in PA. How the story went.
@@troy3052 It wouldn't surprise me if there had been an article in a newspaper about it. If you read the Snopes research, they found the earliest printed reference to the theft being in the March 1990 Wall Street Journal, which would no doubt have been considered a reputable source. Still, "While Fred Rogers was interviewed countless times during his life, we’ve yet to happen upon a case of his telling the story himself. Neither have we encountered any instances of his being asked by an interviewer about it, even within articles that presented the tale as an anecdote about him. (His representatives also told us that although they were familiar with the legend, they could not verify that the event it describes had actually taken place.)" Unfortunately, that's how some tall tales & rumors start--one paper prints it w/o really verifying the facts & authenticity, & then other papers & media start to copy it (assuming it's already been fact-checked..), & thus are urban legends born...
I imagine if Fred Rogers' car had been stolen, it would've been reported to the police & there would have been some sort of paper trail that could be found...
Growing up an only child in the 80's this man had a large impact on me. Beautiful gentile loving man.
Growing up in the 70s and 80s i watched Mr Rodgers atleast until i was 10. Always entertaining and very humble. Massive amount of respect to him to this day.
Johnny was a very clever interviewer. He knew when he should put in a joke and knew when not! And had the ability to control the Audience. No one could ever replace johnny
💯
He always made his guest feel comfortable. I watched the David Letterman video with Mr. Rogers, not so good (my opinion). Johnny was good at what he did.
When I was in college (circa 1978) Mr. Rodgers was one of the most popular shows in the University Community Center. 50 people drinking coffee and watching that great man. Learned my appreciation for Jazz from his show. God bless you, Mr. Rodgers.
He was a beautiful person. We need him now more than ever!!!
Just hearing this man speak brings back such memories and emotion. As a former pastor, he was able to display God's love and wisdom through his concern and thoughtfulness for others. He was one of a kind.
His senate speech is awesome.
Yes! In 6 minutes he softened the heart of a politician. Truly great man. Glad to have RUclips to look back..
Mr. Roger's original movie-documentary was remarkable. He was remarkable
Rogers'.
We need the kindness, strength and compassion of Mr Rogers today. We need him to bring the peace and rationality of his explanations, to help quell fear and anxiety. Not just for kids, but adults too.
Even though he's not longer with us physically today, his messages still resonate. We can all be so much better for each other, and to ourselves, than we are now. Do yourself a favor and find more of his videos on RUclips
I’m 58
The most wonderful thing about Mr Rogers was that I felt he was talking to me as I watched
Told me I was unique and special
That’s a talent and gift
RIP Fred
Possibly the most kind sincere human to ever walk this earth. i used to watch him as a child and have NEVER seen any one like him on TV since.
A total CLASS ACT!!! Mr. Rogers was ALWAYS genuine. It's a TOTAL shame that there isn't another program like his to help teach kids. I watched his show religiously as a kid in the late 70s into early 80s. May he rest in peace.
There is a certain innocence about Mr. Roger's. He is a genuinely a caring person. Mr. Roger's is a prime example that one man can make a difference. He has made a difference in my life, I grew up watching him. A beautiful human being that left his mark in the world.
Mr Rogers is such a good soul. I've seen grown ass men just melt bc of this dude. Always reminds me when I see him that what we feel matters. Dude could reach almost any soul.
Two American institutions! I marvel at how classy Johnny kept the interview, still being able to crack jokes with perfect timing. No such thing as classy TV anymore these days.
Johnny wouldn't dare mention that statement of a joke saying,," to you,its Mr Rodgers, and stay the hell out of my neighborhood. 😄😄😄😄😄 thats something you just won't hear segment.
And you Never Ever Will Again Period!!!!!
Seth Meyers.
Fred Rogers was such a gracious man ❤️
I have the greatest respect for Fred Rogers, I learned so much from him before pre school.
When my son was a month old, he just kept crying and nothing was calming him. I put on a MRN episode and immediately from the intro he stopped crying 😢. I can't believe 19 years later after his show how much its still relevant to the next generation of my family. 143 Mr Rogers 143.
Fred Rogers is an amazing man. We need more men like him in this crazy world.
The king of children's TV and the king of late night together.What a treat to see!
Carson is a great interviewer. He just change his style to please Rogers.
Of course, carson had respect for such a man's righteousness, especially regarding children, not like the deviants you see on the air today.
@@johnnytd1128 I liked that line when Carson said, "we've got a lot of them out here." A little dig at Hollywood. Spot on.
That's why Carson was the man - he knew how to change it up depending on who his guest was. Today, every host generally keeps the same (silly) tone and demeanor no matter who the guest is.
@@ChristianMcBrideTV conan is honestly the only decent late night anymore. Colbert was better on the colbert report.
Mr Carson is the best of all time. There is no one on TV now or since he retired in 1992 that comes close. Back in the day I might have put Merv Grifffin in there with Johnny but still Johnny was the real deal. Worth every penny that NBC was paying him!.
I grew up in the middle 80's watching Mr. Rogers. It was a honest good show. Such a heart warming guy. Teaching positive lessons.
Truly one in a million. A vastly underrated individual.
Mr. Rogers, terrific human being, one of Johnny's finest interviews.
I got really tired of Johnny Carson. Maybe it was just the years that it was on. But if I ever chose one interview then this would be the very best
The audience is laughing at him, they simply can't believe anyone is this genuine.
Hollywood and television are all about putting on a false face. "Trying to reach millions of children through the inherently dis-connected nature of television" had to be tried, and Fred tried.
It’s sad and annoying. 🤨
It's not their fault: TV and genuine feeling don't often go together.
I don't think they are laughing at him. They are laughing with him. I grew up with Mr. Rogers and what they are reacting to is his playful side. When this interview was filmed, people were much more respectful of one another. Not like what passes for late night television now.
@@brandonletzko4239 They were definitely laughing at him at the beginning.
He was a Jewel!!! So many children grew up better, happier because of this precious man ❤️
I didn’t have a television at home when I was young. But my grandmother had one. I have fond memories of watching both Mr. Rogers and Johnny Carson when I went to visit my Grandma. This took me back.
Even though it can be cheesy we need this in society. Most kids lack positive parenting or even just a positive adult figure in their life like Mr Rogers.
Grew up to his show. I love Mr Rodgers. Rip
Rogers.
I remember both of these voices from my childhood... Mr Rogers in the morning and Johnny Carson at night 😊
We could use ALOT more people like Mr Rogers.
Step up
I'm 39 and Mr Roger's was HUGE part of my childhood he is and always will be a national treasure
Great example of how versatile Johnny was. I don’t recall any host who was so capable of timing and adjustments to suit the guest. He always perfectly finessed each comment regardless of the personality or topic and seemed so intuitive to respond and guide the interview appropriately. A true professional.
Glad we live in a time where we have the ability to relive memories by watching videos like this.
I watched Mr. Rogers even through high school years! What a great man!
Two legends right there. I miss them both.
I grew you up with Mister Rogers. I think it was mostly reruns but still. This is so cool to see im 24 now. And I love how Johnny changed his approach. This is definitely a very different Johnny then when Don Rickles and Rodney Dangerfield. That's amazing. I don't know why I'm so amazed by this but i am.
It's a skill that most (all?) talk show hosts these days seem to lack.
"Most of the people I know like fun just as much as you do" is an all-time awesome answer.
Hard to believe they're both gone now! Two of the most intelligent and thought provoking men I've seen on tv! I enjoyed watching both of their shows as a kid! One provided many hours of entertainment and interviewed so many interesting people and the other taught me so much about the world, child psychology and how to respect others and to embrace the differences of others! It was like Fred had such an interest in different things and he wanted to discover how things were made or how different people did their jobs! He would say something like "let's go to this place and find out how crayons are made!" He had such a passion to learn about the world around him! He had such an interest in his audience and he seemed to have such love and respect for them, one person at a time!
When these two men passed, it was the start of the downturn we see today. I am convinced of that.
My late Mother was a pediatrician and had to go through a day or two of continuing education per year to keep her Doctors license (Or something like that, I don't remember the details). Fred Rogers spoke at one of those C.E. classes and stayed around afterward to get to know every Doctor in the room. I was only about 9 (1974) and at the dinner table that night, Mom
talked to my Dad and all my Brothers and Sisters about her experience. It was really nice. A week later we got a Christmas card from him with all seven of our names on it, My Dad included. Mr. Rogers may be laughed at and poked fun of, but he was the real deal. A genuinely kind hearted gentleman.
Mr. Rogers was one of our greatest Americans. His caring, loving, empathy and everything else about him was 150% legitimate. There was not a phoney bone in his body. His work on his show teaching children and some adults about some very serious issues was maybe the greatest television ever. There will never be another like him. I miss him so much. Especially in the year 2020 when everything has been so bad.
Truer words have never been spoken!!!!!
Two amazing personalities that we need more of. I love how eloquently Fred explains boys and girls and how “changing” isn’t really a change but acknowledging who they were from the start.
It takes a profoundly gifted listener to command a crowd as well as Fred does, and a gracious host like Johnny makes adjustments infinitely faster than our current talking heads ever do. We need more folks like these two
Beautiful man. Beautiful heart. ♥
The man was truly ahead of his time. Thank you Fred Rogers : )
Interesting to see how the audience is initially uncomfortable with Fred's honest and completely earnest demeanor. Fred was the real deal. I grew up watching his show in the late sixties/early seventies. I admire him more than just about anybody.
I just teared up watching and reading the comments.
Unbelievable how far we’ve fallen with respect to kids. Nothing is sacred anymore.
Mr. Rogers' greatest trait was that he never succumbed to anger, didn't have an angry bone in his body; he understood how to have a healthy self-respect without a hint of ego or conceit, how to assert his ideas without aggression, practiced ways of kindness, love & comradery with every person he met, young, old, man, woman, child, whether they were respectful, cheeky, obnoxious, every conceivable type of person...
A man of truth who always put others first, he shone as an exemplary, saintly human being, & did more positive good for the American people than did the last 10 presidents combined.
People in the audience laughed, but in fact, Fred Rogers' plain & simple reassurance to small children re: gender identity is pure truth: We're born male or female, & that "isn't going to change"...
Not by any natural means, at any rate; just as we don't grow another head or pair of arms later in life, these traits are established at birth & will not change, which is the way of Nature, whether one believes in a willful Creator or not.
Johnny's response was funny, "Out here (West coast/L.A./Hollywood) it happens a lot..."
People do these things to themselves, but they do so out of non-acceptance of themselves as they are, the need to be something they're not.
Mr. Rogers was in some ways like a Chinese sage, who speaks plain truth in few words, from which much can be learned.
"Welcome again to this neighbourhood". The Legend Fred Rogers
Johnny was respectful and sweet
It's been (correctly) pointed out many times how honest and genuine Mr. Rogers was.
But can we take a second to appreciate Johnny Carson? He had respect for every guest on his show and was always able to meet them on their level. Whether they were an entertainer, athlete, astrophysicist, or Mr. Rogers, he knew how to speak their language and let the show be about them, rather than about himself.
Most modern hosts would try to make a joke out of every single thing their guest says, but Johnny Carson had the restraint to do so only when appropriate. Try to imagine any current late-night host interviewing Mr. Rogers, or Carl Sagan, or Bob Ross. It'd be ten vapid minutes of forgettable punch lines and that's about it.
What we get here is a genuine interaction between two wholesome men. A+.
Fred Rogers is one of the most honorable, decent and sincere man who was ever on television. He was a one of a kind type person. Good natured from top to bottom.
Two phenomenal guys!
I watched Mr. Rogers off and on into adulthood, and cried when he retired. Cried even harder when he died!
I have vivid recollections of my childhood fears, and he is spot on as to exactly how more than most children feel about so many feelings, fears, etc.
God rest his soul!
