Who replaced Steve on Blues Clues

Since 1996, the "Blue's Clues" franchise has delighted viewers of all ages. The live-action and animated children's television show premiered on Nickelodeon, featuring Blue, an energetic blue dog, and her owner, Steve, played by Steve Burns. 

The original series ran until 2006, and its revival "Blue's Clues & You!" aired in 2019 with a new host, Josh, played by Josh Dela Cruz. 

However, this was not the first time the franchise had a change in hosts. In 2002, Steve left the program and was replaced by Joe, played by Donovan Patton, for the remainder of the original series. 

For many years, fans wondered by Steve left "Blue's Clues," and after nearly 20 years, Burns addressed his unexpected departure from the show.

Is Blue a boy or a girl?

Blue, the titular character of "Blue's Clues," is a girl puppy, according to Noggin. 

"Every episode she initiates a game of Blue’s Clues in which she leaves three paw print clues for Steve or Joe and the viewer to find in order to a question," the website states. 

Magenta, Blue's best friend from school, is also a girl puppy. She looks just like Blue except she is magenta with magenta-colored spots. "Magenta likes photography and making macaroni picture frames," says Noggin.
