Candid Camera Classic: Remembering Mister Rogers 

What if there was no chair either?

@@Frenite Then he would sleep on the carpet.

@@lynettepalecek3141 What if there was hardwood floors?

@@Frenite Then he would sleep on the hardwood floor. I've done it before.

@@lynettepalecek3141 What if the floor was filthy and had bugs

Frank Martin Yeah, as if there was anything he was so desperate to watch... But had they told him, "Sorry, no chairs", he'd have replied, "That's fine; I can sit on the bed."

rarecoolitems hey while you guys are at it can you make Canada great again too

rarecoolitems Love it.

rarecoolitems beautiful sentiment.

MAFRA

rarecoolitems: That's the world we need. And also the most eloquent comment I've heard in a while.

netbuckeye 2.0 thank you

netbuckeye 2.1 Fred Rogers was one of the few people in television who acted just as they are in real life. He was really a kind, soft spoken, gentle human being, as this clip shows, and as those who knew him have related. He was genuine, and his tv persona was not him acting as a different person. We need more like him, especially in children’s television. My favorite story was when his car was stolen. No one knows who did it, but when the news of the theft was in the news, the person who stole the car, returned it undamaged to the exact spot where it was stolen. To this day, no one knows who stole the car, but I guess that as a young child, Mr. Rogers show must have had a positive impact.

John Cronin Fred Rogers, Tom Hanks and Morgan Freeman are three of the most humble actors you could meet.

@@tyvulpintaur2732 Tom Hanks? No, he’s not humble or a decent human. He’s a despicable human that even Fred Rogers would shame publicly. Hank is simply deplorable. I don’t know much about the other two.

There are plenty of videos of Tom Hanks acting like a jerk in public

Allen Graziano So true! We will NEVER see the likes of him again! I can guarantee that!

SSGT Graziano I agree 100%.

well said

Sage advice, indeed !!

He did !!! AGREED !

TheSacko Love Mr Rogers.

TheSacko You are correct. He’s a much better embodiment of how a Christian should live, and love, than almost all televangelists. (For those who don’t know, Fred Rogers was an ordained minister - I believe, Presbyterian). And his on screen persona was not an act - that was how he was in real life.

You have that exactly right

So right about that!

Camgore 88 Very eloquently written.

A true saint Mr. Rogers as.

pem1974 and the other guy looks like Mr Mr mc phealy. .

Lucius Verus McFeely*

Yeah, I was like wait, do they travel together?

pem1974 Well, many celebrities act VERY differently when they don’t have a camera in front of them. (A camera that they know is recording them). Many actors were very different persons when they were not performing. But Fred Rogers was genuine. The way he was when doing his show was how he was in real life. Kind, generous, gentle, polite, loving (in the best sense of that word). We often bemoan the loss of civility in our discourse. Fred Rogers embodied that civility. Many of us grew up with him teaching us, and as adults, we can still learn a lot from Mr. Rogers. I don’t think Peter Funt expected Fred Rogers to show up at this hotel. They had obviously set this room up to do their bit with the television, and Funt told Fred Rogers that he would be staying in a different room. Obviously, they were planning on trying this bit out with other guests.

@@johncronin9540 they did try this bit out with several guests in fact and every one of those guests got at least mildly annoyed and asked to be moved to a different room or the tv to be replaced Mr Rogers was indeed the only person to not get upset at the news of not having a tv in the room. Candid Camera also didn't know that Mr Rogers was going to be staying there but did decide to include him just to see what would happen

Vanessa Ayers Very well said. Especially appropriate in these trying times.

Kyle Rowland more Fred rogers and less liberal sjws. Sounds too much like heaven.

"Rogerses"! ;-)

Kyle Rowland Agree

They're 50 now...

I didn't DownVote this video, but I certainly could use a hug!

@@donnarowe1890 Thank you

That's a word which has fallen out of fashion. He's the epitome of grace yes.

Yes! I've watched all of Peter's videos and could not agree more! Whatever happened to innocent pranks like this? Now it's all cruel and nasty and sexually assaulting passersby.

He was exactly what he made himself out to be. It wasn't an act as evidenced by this. Genuine.

Thanks !

Same here!

Yeah, so did I.

Me too

James Fabiano Omg! Me too! I thought I was the only one who thought that! Lol!

Me too!

Yup!

(Sweetboo1022)

You're not alone. This video broke me down too.

Amen.

LOL!

Yes, I am!

Lex Python Meee Too.

Paper Moon gentlemen. Both of em

Brought a tear to me right eye. ;-)

Appreciate it

I did cry... :)

Sweet and Sharp ♥

No he didn’t.... it was disguised as an “apparatus” and Rogers didn’t know what it was .

He may or may not have known what it was, but he did spot the device right away. He had stayed in lots of hotel rooms without seeing anything like that, so he knew something was unusual. He may even have known there was some sort of setup afoot, but he didn’t let on. He could’ve been a fantastic poker player, but he was so nice that he let others keep their money instead. ;)

Chuck D's All-New Classic TV Clubhouse Mr. McFeely (great name, 1st name Touchy) had slightly longer hair...

I thought that, too !

Chuck D's All-New Classic TV Clubhouse Yes!

I think that was an intentional reference

Nice to see you here! I love your ident/bumper/logo videos, being a logo fanatic myself!

Hi neighbor

He also realized that TV was a powerful influence, and a "real relationship" to most children. That why he took his ministry to the airwaves, to reach and give haven to children, especially young children.

He will always be your neighbor, even when he’s not around.

J Glow A good person can have permanent residence in the neighborhood of your heart dear one Namaste.

I still can be

J Glow I would love to have a neighbor like him.

Dude Privacy That would be Trolley heading to the Neighborhood of Make Believe.

I watched it when I was about three years old, and I would always lose my mind and clap with excitement. "THE TROLLEY! THE TROLLEY!"

Gzus Notice how both men have a very gentle, quiet voice that just suits them in this fast paced world.

Druggist he did wake up at 4 o'clock in the morning almost everyday for most of his adult life.

Druggist He may already have been suffering from the cancer that took his life. He always had a slender build, but he looks even thinner than usual in the clip. I once saw the whole interview (this is edited a bit), and he managed to put in a pitch for PBS, asking people to donate, once he knew the camera was on.

Jason Schultz I'm sure he knew Jesus Christ himself .. only believe he is who he says .. that makes him a saint yes..
