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

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

@@TheDfdavid21 you are very welcome. It's the sort of reminder we all need sometimes. 🙂

Well said 👏🏾👏🏾

@unseelierose... we could all do with bieng just a bit like Mr rodgers

I'm in.

❤❤❤ “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.'"

@@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.

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

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.....

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.

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.

another repeated quote

@@blooses repeated it is but still brings joy to those who read it

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🙋🏽

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.

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! ❤️

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.

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.

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).

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

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.

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.

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 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!

Me too! He's America's Grandad❤

You can feel his love, kindness and acceptance radiating just watching him and hearing him speak. ❤

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

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.

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.

Yes we do😭

same here. i'm 38.

2019 and 40. This was a beautiful man who genuinely cared.

Greg Brightwell : same, except I’m a 46 yr old female, and the mother of a special needs boy, as well as a recent widow. I love Mr. Rogers. He was a beautiful man and the sweetest human being.❤️

@@roisindubh02 i am sorry for your loss. God is the word for mother on the hearts and lips of children elsewhere.

Oh GOOD CATCH. I completely glossed over that. He totally shared that moment with everyone!!

Andrew right here

Bruh, even audience were tearing up

Me, too.

Its 1am and im sobbing. Dear lord we didnt deserve this man

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.

@uuuueber He's been looking better and better, hasn't he?

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 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

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.

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?

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

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!!!!!!!

Tariq Ali and that proves that he cares about him. It bring a tear to my eye

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.

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

​@@mksolid82 sounds like you've lost hope. Sorry that you feel that way.

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.

💀✊🏾😂🤣😂

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!

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.

That's what got me, his absolute joy.

Life is a gift.

The heart of true Christianity well lived.

He viewed his work as a ministry from God. He really showed love

we should have love react on KZfaq for this comment 😊

Underrated comment

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.

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 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

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.

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

@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?

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!!!!

Exactly. So many celebs have it backwards and think that everyone else has been put here to serve them.

Underrated comment

daily

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!

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 🤝

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!!

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 bet it will be found out that he was a paedophile. He sounds creepy." I was livid...
