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. Next 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 Chicago’s finest pop culture event, 2026’s 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? Maybe you should check out his appearance at Emerald City Comic Con 2022 to get prepared. (Just get ready to have feelings while you watch.)
