When Fred Rogers asks for ten seconds of your time, you give Fred Rogers ten seconds of your time.

If there’s a heaven, you know he’s there.

The dearest man that ever lived. ❤️

I'm not crying, you're crying. Okay, I'm crying too...

Saint Fred

What a beautiful speech it makes me think about people that have been in my life that helped me who believed in me. One of the people outside of my parents what's my math teacher Mr Bruce noblitt. He was the only one who really got it through to my head the the math that I cried about because I didn't understand and he asked me was I going to give up as I was welled up with tears I felt so embarrassed that I didn't understand but he got through to me and I did end up graduating. I graduated late but I graduated

How many people can bring the house to silence during their acceptance speech? How many can bring people to tears? I am from Pittsburgh, and he is such an icon. Such a genuine person. I met him once, for two minutes, in July 1996, when I worked at Carnegie Science Center. I got to tell him I grew up watching him. He smiled that big smile of his.

I really loved Mr Rogers growing up. He speaks to my inner child. He was very special. No one like him ever. This is well deserved. He made my childhood better. Even now as an older person he brings tears to my eyes when I listen to him. It's you I like.....iconic.......Thank you Fred Rogers for you being you. and helping us to believe in ourselves. Love & Light

Make no mistake, that is genuine tribute applause from that show-business audience. Fred's television work with children represented all that is good and wholesome and pure in this world, and it should be glorified.

Thank you so much for this video. What a wonderful man! God bless

My hero and a true one at that.

I really loved Mr. Rogers. If it wasn’t for this God-send of a man, my childhood would have been even more unpleasant than it was originally. It couldn’t be more evident in this day and time (2024) that we need more Fred Rogers’ on TV in to carry that special light ✨✨ into our children’s lives just as we had

He took the moment in a spotlight and turned it around on our hearts. Maaaan, Fred Rogers was the best.

This is the highest honor anyone can have, to obtain a lifetime achievement award. And he makes it about the importance of others. No one can hold a candle to this man. He was the real deal.

Pretty cool to actually see all those millionaires and people of power be lead into a moment to think about those who have come before them with only a tenth of a fraction of their own wealth, sacrificed for that person, and now they are in those very seats as the 1%. Rogers was a powerful man in his simple convictions.

Moses, Jesus, Mohammed, Ghandi, Martin Luther King, Fred Rogers. The rest of us? We need to do better.

The GOAT. Respect.

OMG I cried from begining to the end of his speech what a gentle soul, I watched his show as a child everyday in the 70s. He was so pure.

Fred Roger that would be is Arthur show

We don't deserve a saint like him, he's just too pure for our world, a real legend.

Tim is rocking that skivvy

Fred was the Christ we all needed

We need him now.

"May God be with you"

PROVERBS 16:7; When a man’s ways please the LORD, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.

What bothers me in this one is that people laughed when he looked down at his watch. The studio audience laughed at him when he was on Johnny Carson too. I think that this man was so sincere and kind that it was unusual and thus uncomfortable for adults to know how to handle it, so they laughed.

This world didn’t deserve Fred Rogers. But I’m glad we had him as our neighbor.

It's unbelievable that some members of congress wanted to cut funding for public television and his show at the same time they were giving the super rich a huge tax brake. That really makes you want to cry.

SESH

He was a beacan of light to the wanted and unwanted ....the world could use more like him.

Even in such a moment of personal triumph, he insisted that the moment be shared with everyone there Even to a group of adults, some jaded by the stress of Hollywood, adulthood, and personal strife, he never wanted anything less than to make the world brighter

He was a beautiful man. I grew up watching his shows

“And then he lifted his wrist, and looked at the audience, and looked at his watch, and said softly, “I’ll watch the time,” and there was, at first, a small whoop from the crowd, a giddy, strangled hiccup of laughter, as people realized that he wasn’t kidding, that Mister Rogers was not some convenient eunuch but rather a man, an authority figure who actually expected them to do what he asked… and so they did. One second, two seconds, three seconds… and now the jaws clenched, and the bosoms heaved, and the mascara ran, and the tears fell upon the beglittered gathering like rain leaking down a crystal chandelier, and Mister Rogers finally looked up from his watch and said, “May God be with you” to all his vanquished children.” - Esquire.

Who was the woman crying with the black short hair???

Do you think it’s cool to make me cry?

Great memories

I come to this whenever I need a good cry.

Mr Rogers will always transcend generations, his show is timeless and genuinely perfect

Complete silence when he’s speaking. Amazing. Fred Rogers name is not to be played with.

We are so much poorer without this man... seeing how divided this country is and how so many use religion as justification for their hatred and how politics are literally destroying us. We need more people like him. If our so called leaders were more like him maybe America wouldn't be such a mess. Lord knows he'd ne a better leader than the crazed malignantly narcissistic orange or the dottering old man with the charisma of oatmeal we've been stuck with. But we need to be more like and. Rodgers he was such a good soul

Everyone watching was instantly a child again for 3 minutes....

Fred Rogers was the definition of kindness. It's not as if kindness is rare...but his kindness shown so brightly because he was in the spotlight, a place usually reserved for attention hounds and self promoters. Mr. Rogers would have none of that. To the world's kind people who are not in the spotlight, Fred Rogers salutes you.

I’ll watch the time…..❤️

I'm saddened, in a way, because there will probably never be another man like Fred Rogers on this earth again. Most celebrities or icons would probably talk a good game, but really...did they walk the walk? Fred Rogers didn't just portray an on-screen persona. He walked the walk, on and off the camera. One of the kindest, most gentle people to have ever lived. In these times, when people are hating on each other because of political beliefs, we need to remember the lessons taught by Mr. Rogers.

You know if you ever have trouble reminding yourself of those special people. Just remember that Fred is one of them. And I don't think he even needs to see you now to know you're wonderful and special just the way you are

Goosebumps when he said “ I’ll watch the time”. Such a genuine man.

Katie couric is in love

People laughed when he said "Ill watch the time". Such self absorbed celebrities in that room.

A true man of God

The only person to make a speech that can not only leave an everlasting impact on you, but one that makes everyone feel good about themselves. Nobody can do that other than Fred Rogers
