Among her first words were: "I thought you'd be taller." buzzfeed.com/alexalisitza/s…
Earlier this week, OG Blue's Clues host Steve Burns returned to offer everyone who grew up in the '90s a bit of much-needed closure after his departure from the hit show nearly 19 years ago.
Over 34.5 million people watched Steve's heartfelt message about everything that has happened in our time apart, including going to college, starting families, tackling student loans, and pushing through the hard stuff.
In the end, we got the departure from Steve that we always needed. In another section of the web, however, some viewers couldn't get through the video without recalling a once-forgotten video of Steve that's – well – that's a bit more PG-13 than Nick Jr.
So, I decided to do the Lord's (Devil's?) work and track down the video. And alas! Here it is:
In his retelling, Steve takes his audience – and us – back to the year 2000, when he was at the height of his career, Blue's Clues was airing in multiple countries, and, right next to George Clooney and Ben Affleck, he was named one of People's most eligible bachelors.
Steve found himself getting more ~attention~ than ever before. One letter, in fact, included a glossy of a Playboy model that was delivered to his office at Nickelodeon, along with a note instructing him to call her and invite her to dinner 😏👀
The 2 meet but have absolutely nothing to talk about. Luckily, as they're driving toward the restaurant, he notices a bday party taking place and the decor is – you guessed it – Blue's Clues themed.
"I thought, believe it or not, this is the only game you have, man," he admitted thinking to himself. "
After dinner, they go to Steve's house, where she finds The Big Red chair – which was gifted to him by the studio. As he sits in it, she slides up to him in a very sultry manner and makes a request I could have gone forever without knowing: "Sing that song about the mail."
In the end, she asks if he'd like to meet her mom, and as the meeting starts, the duo begin pitching a kid's show. "This was an elaborate plot to pitch me a children's television show about giant, inflatable balloon animals called The Balloonies." 😬

BTW he never admits to whether or not he sang the song 👀

"You will get yourself rejected before you have even had the opportunity to get in front of a manager." buzzfeed.com/mayaogolini/wh…
If you're currently job hunting, chances are you've found yourself at your wit's end of the application process. They can be long, tedious, and often times you don't even get a response back.
Which is probably why this résumé "hack" is currently re-circulating around Twitter.
The hack is called "white wording," and it's a trick designed to outsmart most companies' Applicant Tracking Software. The software is designed to sort through job applications and choose the ones that align best with the job description.

Martin Luther King Jr. stepped up when the Roberts family was in "a jam." buzzfeed.com/alexgurley/jul…
Julia Roberts has a pretty unexpected connection to the late Martin Luther King Jr. — and it goes back to the day she was born. Image
Back in 1967, Julia's family found themselves in a bind when they couldn't afford the hospital bill for her birth.

When their friends, the King family, heard about the situation, they stepped in and offered to pay the bill on behalf of the Roberts family. ImageImage

The episode seemingly boiled Mexican culture down to sombreros, maracas, tacos, and "Juan" jokes. buzzfeed.com/angelicaamarti…
Earlier this week, Prue Leith took to Twitter to announce that the Great British Bake Off's theme for their next episode would be "Mexican week."

Yeah, yikes 😅 Image
It's not that I don't think it's possible to do an episode like this with appreciation and respect for the culture, but I was fairly certain that wasn't the direction #GBBO would be going.

Does anyone remember "Japanese week"??? ImageImageImageImage
