The original host of Nickelodeon's beloved preschool series Blue's Clues is heading to Chicago as Steve Burns is announced for C2E2 2026
For a generation of fans, Steve Burns was the friendly face that helped them find the answers on Nickelodeon's Blue’s Clues — and, later in life, find themselves, as well. This March, he’s going to be continuing that fine work by helping everyone find out how to have a better time in McCormick Place, as he’s joining the guest list for 2026’s Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo (C2E2).
Burns will be at the show Friday, March 26 through Sunday, March 28, signing autographs and taking photos with fans. Wondering what to expect from Steve at the show? Check out his appearance at Emerald City Comic Con 2022 to get prepared. (Just get ready to have feelings while you watch.)
