- Fred Rogers' induction into the TV Critics' Television Hall of Fame is especially touching when Jeff Erlanger, who had visited on Mister Rogers' Neighborhood as a boy in a wheelchair, surprises Fred by making the presentation on stage. Addressing the audience of television celebrities and producers, Fred speaks of his great respect for and understanding of the power of television-"How do we make goodness attractive?"
1999, Los Angeles
Original video from the Fred Rogers Center website:

The joy on Mr Rogers face when Jeffrey came out was priceless. It was like no one else existed in that moment to him.
That made me cry when i saw the joy on his face is was so enchanting to see
He dodnt even go up the steps. Instead he climbed up on the stage.
I have watched this multiple times just to see again the pure joy and love that he expressed.
I feel like he could make anyone feel like they were the only ones who were important at that very moment....whenever that may be.
I loved how Mr. Rogers didn’t even wait to be called on stage he just ran into see his friend! I don’t think Mr. Rigers really cared about the awards
I loved how mr. Fred Rogers breaks protocol and goes on stage without having second thoughts about it. This man is legit
Azfargh I never realized that, but you’re so right- he just wanted to see his friend 😭
Truly one of the greatest human reactions of joy that I've ever seen.
Who will DARE stop him.
And no one will ever have 0 guts to say no
And screw the stairs, headed straight to his goal no matter the work involved to get there
People say "we need more people like Mr.Rogers." But it's easy to say that, to shift responsibility. What we should say is "I'm going to be more like Mr. Rogers."
@TheDfdavid21 you are very welcome. It's the sort of reminder we all need sometimes. 🙂
Well said 👏🏾👏🏾
@@adroutt1985 thank you 🙂
@unseelierose... we could all do with bieng just a bit like Mr rodgers
I'm in.
In the year 2023. We never needed anyone more than Mr. Rogers right now. Rip legend ❤️
A big reason why our world is going to crap so few amazing out there looking out for us all.
All it takes is you being a good neighbor. It's all within our power.
Long live Blippie!
If more speeches were like that on these award shows, it would be a better place.
Facts
I was producer on a morning radio show, and Mr. Rogers was a guest. After a couple of hours with the man, I can assure you, he was real. Absolutely real.
An author followed him around for months, he was feeling the same way. He humbled him over and over again.
He gave us what we needed as kids and I’m truly thankful for that
That’s the great part about him. Most of us met him as children on the screen, growing up with him. For those who watched him, we knew he was genuine. He was a father figure for those of us who didn’t have one, and the sweet grandfather in an age where grandfather’s didn’t really show emotion.
You were blessed by seeing him
Yes he was!!! What you saw was what you got.
Who came here after watching the episode of Jeff as a Child??
Today, I'm thinking of a coworker I use to work with in human resources. She lost her life to liver cancer earlier this mth. I'm thinking about how she was a servant to me down through the yrs. How the both of us served on committees at work, and how she poured herself into so many of those whom she worked with. Tears came streaming down this morning just thinking about her. Because of her I'm more of a servant today.
This literally popped up for me. I shared both.
Sammmeee lmao
Ye
Me🙋🏽
I'm not religious, nor would I ever pretend to be. But I truly believe that man was a gift from some higher power.
❤❤❤
“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
“Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.'"
Matthew 25:34-40 ☀️
@@the.seagull.35 What part of "not religious" did you miss ? Why do you have to shoehorn your own religious ideology.
Same. I couldn't agree more.
@@tristanmike Probably because it was what Mr. Rogers believed too. So if you respect him, showing just a little respect to the God he believed in for just a moment couldn't hurt.
I'm an atheist, and I don't object.
0:25 Look at this. Mr Rogers is kneeling next to the wheelchair, so that Jeffrey is looking down at _him,_ not the other way around. Its such a small act of body language, totally unforced. But it shows the respect that Mr Rogers has for him. He's humbling himself while also elevating Jeffrey to a higher position than him.
His face when he first saw Jeffrey, instant recognition I've never seen somebody with such true joy; somebody deeply amazed that he should see him again.
I love you for this comment! ❤️
Years ago, I was on my way home from being in the Army. I had my uniform on and missed my connecting flight to fly home. Mr. Rodgers over heard me talking to the ticket agent and he offered to give me his ticket and he would take the next flight out. Long story short, he spoke to the airlines and someone cancelled and I got home. He was exactly like the person he was on televison, a kindhearted man.
God blessed you indeed, to have met such a great ambassador as Mr. Rogers.
Wow❤What a blessing to have met that man😊❤👏
Wow. What a wonderful story. Thanks for sharing.
I'm not even religious but the man was an absolute saint.
Steve Balistreri wow, you took an old man’s seat. Shameful
To the 20+ people who downvoted this video... Mr. Rogers would've loved you anyway.
You are absolutely right. Mr. Rogers would indeed love them anyway. Cheers from Canada.
Cicliste C I see what you’re saying and slightly agree, but think about this. What would Mr. Rodgers say about them? Would he say there’s something wrong with them? I know why you said this but I think especially with a video like this take a moment to treat others like he would have.
Matthew Prosser oh.... Oh.. GAWD!! 😭😭😭😭😭 MY HEART!!!
Chino Bambino Mr. Rogers loves you no matter what you do, and you're my neighbor so I care about you too. Best wishes to you and your family
Chino Bambino Wtf.....
True story:
"I read a story once about Mr. Rogers that just cemented his total coolness. One day his car was stolen in broad daylight while parked on the street in Pittsburgh. The evening news reported that Mr. Rogers car had been stolen. The next day, it was back in the same spot with a note that said, “Sorry, we didn’t know it was yours.”
❤️ Mister Rogers forever
That’s one of the more badass mr rogers stories. But my favorite is still how he spoke before Congress about needing a machine to record live television so that families could sit down and watch his program at the logical 6-7 o’clock after everyone’s home and parents are there to explain the important issues and answer the questions that their children would have.
Because he was discussing important issues. Like the assassination of a president.
That's complete bullshit
Man, I hope that story is true. That's awesome.
@JustWasted3HoursHere It is. It happened a long time ago, and it was on the news...if you search for here on YT you may find it 😊
@@hamsterdiving7593 I've heard that story too. Not sure if its an urban legend or not, but knowing Mr Rogers reputation, especially in Pittsburgh, it wouldn't surprise me.
Sometimes I wonder how many lives Mr Rogers has saved, just by being a calm voice to children in need. It must be thousands
He made my life easier - I’m profoundly deaf and an only child. Mr. Rogers meant everything to me for years.
Saved seems like a strong word, but I grew up with parents in a very toxic marriage. There were many arguments, that probably had some very hateful words said that I had no business hearing as a a small child, drowned out by my friend Mr. Rogers' voice. He made my very chaotic childhood a lot brighter
Tens of millions.
What an honorable man.
My hyperactive son only sat perfectly still during Mr Rodgers’s neighborhood. He answered all the questions and would get upset when it was done.
When I was a kid growing up I lived in a very abusive home. I’d watch Mr. Rogers and dream Have a wonderful neighborhood. As an adult I found it
Thank you so much For replying. It was a shame that there was so many of us out there. Good luck to you as well
Me too. My parents were addicts but McGruff told me drugs were bad. Funny how some of us go one way and others go down the same path as their bad parents.
was your parents poor and angry for such a hard life
Good for you both!!! **\o/**
I was neglected by a greed driven house hold and Mr. Rogers was the one to tell me i mattered. I tear up anytime i see him.
He didn't wait to be invited on stage. He went to see his friend as if he was the only person in the room.
Exactly
I Feel as if Fred Rogers woulda been complained about by anyone they would have a mark on there back for the rest of there life he was so loved by everyone and I mean everyone
Plus he didn’t us the stairs
Only Mr. Rogers could demand a silent reflection during an award show, receive a standing ovation, and bring a bunch of tv legends to tears!!!
My hero, then... and now!
This man was a saint. Probably one of the best people to ever grace our planet.
No man a Saint come on.
I just finished watching the Tom Hanks movie "Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood" where someone says to his wife that Mr Rogers is a saint. The response was that he was no saint; he had a temper, etc. The end message was that it was his choice to react however he did. He was as human as any of us but he put in the work and effort to care about other people enough not to treat them as less than human. His message is missing with the younger generations who think only of themselves.
@@mortimerbrewster3671 St. Nicholas also had a temper, but today is St. Nicholas day so his generosity and love stuck. They both repented of their temper and thus were rightly on their way to being Saints (as that is the whole point, to repent of your sins to Christ and be forgiven).
Mr. Rogers didn't die, God just needed a neighbor.

Amen! 🙏🏻😭
another repeated quote
@@blooses repeated it is but still brings joy to those who read it
Anyone else tear up immediately when Mr. Roger's saw Jeffrey.
Andrew right here
Bruh, even audience were tearing up
Me, too.

Its 1am and im sobbing. Dear lord we didnt deserve this man
Not a single moment of hesitation. The moment Fred Rogers recognized his very dear, old friend he just got out of his seat and climbed onto that stage like he was 40 years younger.
A very powerful, thoughtful speaker who didn't talk about himself, but he talked about all of us. We would be a better society if we took his words to heart. Well done Fred, you made a positive difference.
Yes how better off all these kids would be to learn about compassion
I watched his show with my children and even made me realize that no one is perfect and that all humans should be recognized as good people.
Mr. Erlanger spoke at Mr. Rogers' funeral in 2003. Erlanger passed in 2007 after spending much of his life advocating for those with physical challenges and now they're together again.
It's humbling to see two such fine people together.
Brian Phillips It’s definitely a beautiful day in that heavenly neighborhood !!!
Or are they?
Hey vsause Michael here.
@Anti-russian Aktion Well THIS tax payer does not mind!
Anti-russian Aktion no he did not-he advocated for spending it wisely. Have a good day-in your neighborhood..
thank you for this follow up
God had a pencil
Mr. Roger's had a highlighter
God drew the world
Mr. Roger's made it brighter.
Shelly Davis could not love this more 💕
Brilliant. I'm gonna memorize that. Good on you.
That's deep.
Well god damn I love this comment. Thats just a wonderful comment cant get over it.
That was beautiful
I can't see one clip of him without crying. The kindness and compassion and just pure love
Me too! He's America's Grandad❤
You can feel his love, kindness and acceptance radiating just watching him and hearing him speak. ❤
The world needs Mister Rogers more than ever. One of a kind.
Didn't care about the crowd, or the camera, or the award or the event. Just saw an old friend on stage and wanted to go say hi.
That's what got me, his absolute joy.
Life is a gift.
Mr. Rodgers was like “forget stairs, that’s my neighbor!”
we should have love react on UA-cam for this comment 😊
Underrated comment
As a young parent, I was somewhat mystified that my kids were so crazy about MR. ROGER'S NEIGHBORHOOD. Yes, there were flashier shows on television. Cooler ones. But they adored his show. As the parent of adult children, I thank God for this man. My kids learned good lessons from him that supported what I was teaching them. And what their Dad was teaching them. They made good choices and excellent grades. They grew into hardworking, compassionate adults. They became good people. Their father and I are so proud. We need more folks like Fred Rogers to inspire and teach, today. Children need those role models. When the movie "A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood " came out, we invited our adult kids and their dates out to dinner and to see it. No surprise. They loved it. Trolley, singing and all. Every child should have something warm, caring and wholesome to cling to. This is how we'll change the world.
Fred Rogers power to turn a moment for him into a moment for all cannot be understated
Oh GOOD CATCH. I completely glossed over that. He totally shared that moment with everyone!!
Mr. Rogers didn’t even wait, he was up on that stage as soon as he saw Jeff.
I am not sure Mr. Rogers was actually human; his wisdom, kindness, and pure heart tell me he was angel.
He definately was different..in a good way.
Him..you...and i...are more important than any angel....and to hear this man talk...i see why....an angel can not do this...they are not made for that...just know we are the most important thing to our father in heaven...lets all try are best to act like it....and return the favor....
You're wrong there. He's exactly what you or anyone else COULD be.
I believe angels are serving him now.
John Swaim Mr. Rogers wouldn’t want you to think that being good like him is unattainable. His mission was to show us that everyone can be a good and caring person like him.
I'm not a religious man but I always appreciated the sentiment of, "Mr. Rogers was not Jesus, but if Jesus came back, that's how he would have acted."
The way Mr. Rogers jumped up, not even waiting to be introduced, really showed how amazing he really was.
The utter silence while Mr Rogers talks... The one person who has ever been so universally respected and loved. There will never be someone quite so warm and kind as this man.
I thank God for him so much. He's so right too, let's not demean life, but instead, cherish that wonderful gift from God above, and seek out the good and what's true. Jesus Christ Loves you.
Bob Ross too
@Lim Jahey mr Rodgers was an amazing man. Hands down he was the best. No one could ever replace him
I’m not religious and can’t say I believe in God. But it felt like I was at church listening to a preacher. I’m in tears.
A miracle even Trump can't pull off
Pretty sure this was the best speech ever given in Hollywood.
The only pure guy in Hollywood.
He genuinely behaved this kind and honorable irl, something we should all strive to do.
He was the token so that Hollywood could say they are not all filth. Why is he easily forgotten?
Nowadays it's all about politics and race baiting. Shame there's not more individuals up top like Mr Rogers.
Does Mr. Rogers have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame?
As a kid of the generation x, this man and jim Henson made our childhoods that much more memorable...
His speeches are so simply worded but so deep that I can't listen to one without getting emotional.
Mr. Rogers is the only one who can ask for 10 seconds of silence, and actually get it respectfully.
no he's not.
@Mel’s Pacifier naw. anyone with a little bit of power can do it, this world is filled with followers.
@boris Mr Roger's was one with no power and people respectfully honored what he asked for. That is the point @kaydrelia was making.
@Mel’s Pacifier Mr Rogers is a great man, but he isn't the only person in the world who is, or has been respected, I respect a great many people and would stay silence for 10 seconds if they wanted.
And he'd respect you anyways if you didn't
“Fame is a four letter word. And like tape or zoom or face or pain or life or live, what ultimately matters is what we do with it” Who knew Mr Rogers can raise bars?
💀✊🏾😂🤣😂
He wrote all the songs for the show!
Dude raised America, of course he can raise bars.
Bars is also a four letter word. I just realize four is spelled with 4 letters as well!
As someone who was abused badly as a child I really wish I met Mr. Rodger. Hearing his voice brings tears to my eyes. He's such a humanitarian. As an adult I love him so much
Fred Roger's is a genius. What an inspirational human being. This is what this world is lacking.
Why can't people like this man be world leaders?
Because unfortunately they don't have the inclination to commit to the level of battle/violence that is required to dethrone the sociopaths.
I sat here clicking that like button probably 50 times
Jordy Boothy polotics ruins good ppl

@@roisindubh02 i am sorry for your loss.
God is the word for mother on the hearts and lips of children elsewhere.
Fred Rogers was one of the greatest speakers to ever live.
WOAH! It was obvious that Mister Rogers genuinely was FAR more moved at being reunited with Jeff Erlanger than in any awards or recognition. I'm glad they were able to get back together and share what had to be a highlight in each of their own (and their loved ones') lives!
I just love how his jaw dropped, pure joy on his face, and climbed up on stage
like he was going "Screw the stairs, its my neighbor!"
Total Trash Mammal I know right! I teared up when I saw that! Now they're in heaven together. I'm not sure when Jeffery died but I know Mr Rogers died in 2003. God bless them both! May both rest in sweet peace!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤💖💖💖💖💖💖
Wow that's pretty powerful man. I'm sure Mr. Rogers would say that all that matters is you right now. And he would say It's you I like no matter who you are. Because you matter. We can all either give up and give in or realize we have another 10, 20, 30, who knows maybe 60 more years on this earth, and we can do something with those years that would have made Mr. Rogers proud.
Total Trash Mammal i
We never deserved this man. But we're lucky to have had him anyway.
Total Trash Mammal man that’s funny yet awesome.
We dont need Mr. Rogers today...
We need everybody who was taught by him to start living the lessons that he taught us
The more we say "We need Mr Rogers Today", the more you show that you missed the point of his show.
He was teaching us how to be compassionate and loving human beings. WE need to live the way he taught us to. Love your neighbor. Be compassionate to EVERYBODY.
We don't need someone on TV to teach this. WE need to start living it and teaching OUR children ourselves.
The more we say "We need Mr Rogers today", the less responsibility we are taking for our own paths in life. Mr Rogers DID HIS JOB. Now We need to do ours...
that was perfectly well said neighbor!
Absolutely. The responsibility is ours.
nah, we need mr. rogers LOL
Exactly my neighbor!!
You need 10.000 likes.
To think... It's been 20 Years since this friendly neighbor known as Mr. Rogers passed away.
I can only imagine how many lives he impacted during his time on TV. If you ask me, I think kids of today would think fondly of him as their parents & grandparents did growing up.
R.I.P. Mr. Rogers. You will always be the wonderful neighbor we all knew, loved, & respected. ❤
What an incredible man. Such humanity. We need Fred Rodgers so much now in 2023.❤️
@@mksolid82 sounds like you've lost hope. Sorry that you feel that way.
I agree with you!!!❤
Notice how Rogers immediately crouches down below Jeff instantly putting Jeff in a position of dominance. This made Jeff feel 100 feet tall. Such a simple gesture but it speaks volumes about Fred Rogers.
And and how he jumped up on the stage-not easy for anyone his age, propelled by genuinely he care and joy......
It's a small thing but as a person in a chair, we notice :)
So glad you noticed that. That wasn't unintentional.
yup, immediately put himself in a comfortable eye-line for jeff to see him - not a second thought
He did the same whenever he would talk to children. He got down to thier level and spoke directly to them. You are hard pressed to find a photo or video where at some point fred would not get exactly to the level they were on.
In my dreams, I imagine having a person like Fred Rogers as the president of the United Sates.
People would find a way to be offended by him unfortunately. But I’m with you, he would have been a class act in office for sure.
@@ChickenPermission617
The radical right wing Trump loving, air polluting dumping raw sewage into waterways and lakes would have a problem with someone like Mr. Rogers as President.
Heck, these same nuts HAVE a problem with Mr. Rogers.
But I don't give a fuck what they say.
I absolutely LOVED Mr. Rogers, and I'm glad I grew up watching him.

I am in business; please rest assured, the Radical Left had no compunction about being violent, dissenters, and polluters, as well.... Simply inconsistent, inconsiderate humanity.....
You mean Jimmy Carter? Lol
@uuuueber He's been looking better and better, hasn't he?
So many in the audience that night likely grew up watching Mister Rogers, and when he spoke to them it must have felt like he was communicating with the children they once were, trying to bridge the gap between that innocence and the cynicism of adulthood. He was never patronizing and he always spoke to our intuition as children, showing us how to understand what we saw and how we felt. I keep replaying the moment when Mister Rogers melted into joy and climbed up onto the stage and knelt down so that Jeff did not have to bend his neck. I just love this man, moreso as I get older as I realize how important he truly is.
I grew up in England so I never got to watch Mr Rogers as a child. I only watched twenty seconds of this and I was teary. This man, Mr Rogers is a very special person and it's so life affirming, especially for children to have people like him in the world.
This is what a real man looks like ladies and gents.

Damn right
GoWithTh3Flow You said it. Gentleness is a necessary quality to be a man.
@@John-ik2eg the thing is he me.rogers was a bold man. He defended pbs in Congress. He knew the importance of public education.
@@SirManDudeGuy1 Singlehandedly faced down a skeptical, cynical, and hostile Congress, and without raising his voice or ever losing his temper, changed their hearts and minds. That's some superhuman strength there.
The most amazing thing is that you can tell that Fred *immediately* recognized him. Incredible.
I balled my eyes out at the excitement in his face. A beautiful human being we didn’t deserve!
They did introduce Jeff by saying his full name.
He was so happy to see him
Fred Rogers was one of the finest human beings who ever lived. Being a good person means accepting people for who they are.
Mr Rogers was an angel on earth. Definitely one of a kind ❤
Mr. Rogers rushed the stage at his own tribute, to greet and hug someone, and pay homage to said person, after not seeing him for 20 years.
I'm going to go over here and cry a little bit, because even when Mr. Rogers does the wrong thing, it turns out to be the right thing for the right reasons
And especially the fact he recognized Jeff's name is more so amazing.
Tariq Ali Please, Everyone, always treat Everyone and Everything with kindness, love and respect. Please always remember, Jesus is always there for you no matter what! Please open your hearts to love and please find Jesus!!!!!!!

J_Dog 247 You don't need Jesus to be a good person. If u do ur deep down evil
Yep... there was absolutely nothing phony or fake about Mister Rogers. He was a truly great man.
Did Mr Rogers just skip the intro, climb on stage and hug a friend?
I wonder why all award winners are never like him. Oh yeah, it's because there's only one person in this whole world like Mister Rogers. It's sad to know that it's true when you think about it.
And when Fred is kneeling next to Jeff, you can see Fred is in near tears.
joe b yes
joe b Please, Everyone, always treat Everyone and Everything with kindness, love and respect. Please always remember, Jesus is always there for you no matter what! Please open your hearts to love and please find Jesus!!!!!!!
You're right man, he did skip the intro!
I fear future generations won't believe that such a man existed. Every child should watch mr. Rogers. I love you Fred
This man revealed to generations of young people that caring about other people’s feelings as well as our own is the coolest and most worthwhile thing in the world. With elegance, grace, and genuine passion that came from his heart, he taught us that it is our feelings that connect ALL of us together, regardless of the roles we play in life.
“How do we make goodness attractive?”
Excellent question
Make badness unattractive. We seem to encourage it.
Agreed 💟
He already did
Keanu Reeves.
Notice how Mr. Rogers didn't make his acceptance of this award, nor his speech about himself, but actually congratulated the presenter, and was ignoring the applause for himself to talk to the man in the wheelchair, and then celebrated others in his speech. Probably one of the most selfless men to ever walk this earth
There was a physical education teacher who appeared on Fred's show quite often (she later became a school principal), and she said that Fred was one of the most selfless people she has ever known. She stated that if you gave him a compliment, he would turn the compliment around toward you.
I can only hope that there will be a Mr. Rogers for every generation of humans on this planet.
I have noticed that many of us are missing Mr. Rogers' presence in the world. I grew up watching him, as many here did, and his kind thoughtfulness was very influential in my formative years. I respect him even more as an adult.
It occurs to me that Mr. Rogers was always telling us and more importantly, SHOWING us how to be good people. If we all love our neighbors, "at least as well as we love ourselves" we will fill the world with people like Mr. Rogers.
Who’s feeling and needing this in 2020?
I am with you 100 percent!!!
I learned a great deal from Mr. Rogers as a young mother in the 70s.
So need his influence and love these days
Your mom
Yes
"Those of us in television are chosen to be servants." this message needs to be re-heard...
Exactly. So many celebs have it backwards and think that everyone else has been put here to serve them.

WhatAWorld they use their notoriety to spread their own twisted ideas, really pisses me off.
It is sad to know his words are meaningful and true from his heart but many most all in that audience and more that are on television are noway near the same mind frame and heart like his!
9 seconds in and I'm fighting back tears. Wow
We just don't get to have people like this often enough in all our lives.
His voice is so calming and soothing - making you feel that all will be ok. He seemed like a gentle soul - and truly one special man. May he RIP

And out of all legends on you tube: this is the truest.
@@oneoutoftheninety-nine.3314 yep😁
Even at 64 yrs I miss him. As a 12 year old back in 1968 I watched secretly just to feel peaceful and cared for. My own parents were very short on praise and comfort. I was a street kid in Brooklyn N.Y. and was changing channels one afternoon soon after school and came across the start of Mr. Rodgers Neighborhood...watched the whole show and would watch him at least 2-3 times a week until 1971. After that I would catch him 3-4 times a month until 1975. I loved that man.
Absolutely a legend
Legends never die! I watched him threw the 80's.
Venom Geach another legend
I was doing the same in the esrly 70s in the streets of NYC 💔🗽
@@kmrchneru9103 wont you be my neighbor heh.
This is priceless. Fred Rogers deserved every congratulations he ever got and will ever get. He has my respect always!
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
When we lost him some part of the spark of this nation's soul left with him. It's sad to think that even with all his teaching us all for so long how quickly his lessons were forgotten and we all turned into exactly what he taught us not to become.
When Jeffrey passed, I’ll bet Mr Rodgers was waiting for him in heaven.
Ryan Wehr he did in 2007 sadly
Because of all the stairs?
nope
Amen, brother.
Last I heard their about half way up. So
Many stairs so many stairs indeed.
The fact nobody stopped Mr. Roger's from going up on stage, is truly heartwarming.
The security guards went : Yeah like we are gonna wanna be remembered for stopping mr rogers from giving his friend a hug, who do you think we are ANIMALS ???
He is probably the only human being that deserves all the time in the world to make his acceptance speech, upon such a very well deserved award, whether it was for 5 minutes or an hour, he deserves to pour his heart to the world for the wonderful gift he has brought to humanity. May he rest in the highest peace in heaven, forever.
It's not he was gonna go Will Smith on him!
Pasinio- I love how he just totally lit up when he saw Jeff come out.
NOone would DARE stand in the he way of Mr Rogers!! Yeah, I LOVED that part!!
He didn’t hesitate to get right up on that stage and greet his friend. Powerhouse of a human.
His speech is timeless.
I found out about this guy like 12 minutes ago and I am already inspired by him.
Xe M oh he’s such a wonderful man! I don’t know if you know about Bob Ross but he’s also another incredible man very similar to mr.rogers but with his own unique voice and words
Welcome to the neighborhood 😊
Wont you be my neighbor ? Welcome to the beautiful neighborhood.
Same man.
Isn’t it great? His positivity and kindness is infectious.
"Life isn't cheap."
"How do we make goodness attractive?"
Every words Mr. Rogers spoke, it strikes your spirit.
The way he stepped on that stage 👏🏾👏🏾 this is what humanity is about
If this doesn't make you cry or get emotional, then you're truly heartless or lost that love inside somewhere. This man was a living channel of God.
I SOOO agree with you. Listening to him always makes my heart fill up and overflow and shed tears of gratitude and joy.❤ Hugs to you from an older woman in Harlem, NYC.
Or you just don't know him.
Amen! Fred Rogers was an angel of a human being. A truly good man. Thank you for this video.
Or, you never watched anything with him in it as his show wasn't aired where you live.
I consider myself a tough guy but when I saw Mr. Roger's jump on stage when he recognized him I instantly remembered watching that episode when I was a kid and the tears just came out
You're just a good person. Nothing to do with toughness. 💗
I appreciate your comment Mightiest Arm, I hate using ditto, but this is my thought too. I was leveled by what I watched and remember all of that episode as well.
I was thinking about the prior piece on Jeff, and the impact he created at this point in time. QWED, pbs station in Pittsburgh is a real winner.
There's absolutely nothing stopping a tough guy from being a good man. And, in my opinion, a good man ought to be able to cry when confronted with an act of humanity as deep and earnest of this.
Me too! He did so many good shows that are timeless
A simple unwritten rule: In the USA,you do not, and I mean DO NOT disrespect Mr. Rogers. He, even to this day, is an American ICON for teaching, helping and loving our children and educating parents too. Fred Rogers was the real deal 24/7. He was this way on and off the air. A true paragon of compassion, decency, wisdom and helping children. There may never be another person like him, but the world would be a far better place if there were
True. I will fight anyone who says anything bad about him! Someone we can all feel proud about.
@@marcstov I'm an Aussie who grew up in the States, and so I grew up with Mr. Rogers... and I consider him one of my heroes. I was explaining his show and the sort of things he did to some fellow Aussies my age(church goers at that), and one of them said "He sounds like a paedophile. I bet it will be found out that he was a paedophile. He sounds creepy."
I was livid...
@@Wolfmyth100 I’m ashamed to be an Aussie just for hearing that. But they’re Christian I suppose, so maybe they’re projecting.
@@Tester-sh1mn I am a Christian, and it was a church I was trying out...I think it's safe to say that it was a church I decided against in the end.
If only they really knew all amazing things he did.
@@Wolfmyth100 I am not a christian but isn't there a tenet that goes states "judge not else you be judged instead"? If so I don't think those other guys were doing a good job of that, its probably best you left them then.
That's MISTER Rogers keeping it real! 👍🏻💪🏻
Mr. Rogers may be the most godly person to reach fame I’ve ever seen. From all accounts I’ve read or seen, never swayed by the money or power. A truly wonderful and unique person.
"Love Thy Neighbor," there's no person who did that better than Mr. Rogers
Wilson Fisk Amen
Jesus
for real!
I don’t even believe in god but AMEN
Absolutely
I sat here thinking, "Mr. Rogers, the world needs you so much right now ..." Then I realized that WE need to take the wonderful inspiration he gave us and do something with it. We all have the ability to draw upon the courage of love that exists inside of us and make a positive difference in the lives of those we meet.
Esper e Você You're right. You're absolutely right.
I've been so damn negative about current events... I'm finally going to try this out.
I wish you all the best Christopher!
This comment is so beautiful. Thank you for that!
& need another Lenny Bernstein
No, you need to carry on his message, beyond your politics. Just go and be nice, spread his message. It was never about him, doing it on his own. He was meant to inspire.
His kindness and compassion comes from his beloved Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Mr. Fred Rogers is an ordained Pastor. Godbless him and his family forever. Thank you Mr. Rogers ✝️🛐❤️🙏👍
The heart of true Christianity well lived.
He viewed his work as a ministry from God. He really showed love
Whenever I am feeling depressed I turn to Mr Rogers clips on UA-cam. It always makes me cry, but also makes me feel better.
Same here.
Me too you're not alone 💜
UA-cam comment secions are usually a toxic hellhole, but every time I read comments on a Mr Rogers video everyone is being nice to each other and spreading love. Thank you everyone. Mr Rogers would've been 91 today, rest in peace to one of the best human beings ever.
Isn't that the truth....I've noticed it too.😳😳
Who could say anything bad about Mr. Rogers? He was a most kind and gentle soul. What kind of fulfillment would there be, to tarnish the name of one who's helped so many? I can't think of any.
yea we are toxic but when we see mr rogers no matter how toxic we are we will always respect him hands down rip and be peaceful forever
I just talking bad when I saw Justin Beaver or Kanye Worst
Jacob Wasechek yeah 🥺🥺💕💕 anytime someone is toxic towards Mr. Rodgers the whole community come to attack that person 😎😎
I'm not crying, you're crying! Ok fine, we're all crying.
AquaPuff PuffAqua I am SOBBING
I cry every time I see this man! I've watched the new movie trailer 10-15 times, and I cry every time. The pure goodness of this man and his actions are so moving. You can see it in the audience's faces, too.
i'm not crying when i saw the documentary and the movie trailer. just my eyes plumbing broke
Yup, sobbing like a baby
i rubbed my eyes and eye juice came out. not water, not crying.
It's terrifying and wonderful how much genuine sincerity is still so easy to spot.
In a chuffing instant, everyone sat there at the time and everyone watching at home, knew utterly and precisely what a sincere expression of care looks like
In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead.
"A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.
"But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. The next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’
“Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?”
The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.”
Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”
Luke 10:30-37 🤝
I’m 21 years old and grew up loving Mr Roger’s. I fully intend on showing my future kids the show and teaching them the same lessons one day
A man whose subtle strength made a broadcasting company air 10 seconds of dead air because he said so, and then held them accountable without pause by saying, I'll watch the time.
Love that!
A powerful moment!
I loved that 🥺
Could hear a pin drop
Brilliant
Probably the best speech given at any awards show at any time.
This man is pure goodness. Watching this made my day. Sad that he is gone.
Fred Rogers was like an angel that came down to live among humans for a time.
If anyone is going to heaven, it'd be him
Mr Rogers was like a God that decided to live with us and teach us about the most important things. Love and Empathy.
He truly was. His compassion and love transcends us all. We all have lessons to learn from him. I miss him and his TV shows greatly.
America, the world, all of us need a Mr Fred Rogers. His kindness & compassion is sorely missed these days.
Fred Rogers was a 33 degree mason. He was a disgusting PEDOPHILE!!!!!!! 😡🤬 Hope he suffers for a LONG, LONG, LONG TIME!!!!
Fred is standing at the pearly gates greeting everyone with "welcome neighbor"
Those at the Pearly Gates are greeting him as a neighbor.
AMEN !!!!
Highly doubt it as he has to be let in right now to be comforting those coming in.
Wouldnt that be great?! :)
That comment instantly made me cry !!! He was a good man!!
I couldn’t sleep the other night and got up at 4 am. I turned on the tv and saw that an old episode of Mr Rodger’s was on. I turned to the channel and it was an episode about worry. About being worried. He didn’t downplay it. He didn’t trivialize it. He calmly explained that when you’re upset to think about someone who loves you and supports you. And talk to that person. I suffer from sometimes crippling anxiety. Thank you Mr Rodger’s. In that
6:00 moment I thought of you. We never met , but you were supporting me.
He was a one of a kind. There never was before and never will be again anyone like Fred Rodgers. God bless him.
"How do we make goodness attractive?"
Now THAT's the right question.
You live it. You live it as who you are, in your own way. When you're who you are, it's attractive.
@@bogusmcbogus2637 I think your statement could use some correction. I'm sure that 13 year old boy was acting as himself when he abducted the girl. Goodness doesnt come from a total giving of yourself because people are naturally prone to bad things. We have to regulate ourselves to establish discipline and through that, not that good things are guaranteed, but that you have certainly increased the odds of it happening by doing so. You see what I'm trying to say? I hope you have a blessed day, neighbor.
