“Blue’s Clues” turns 30!

In September 2026, the cast and crew of Nickelodeon’s “Blue’s Clues” gathered in NYC to celebrate their 30th Year Anniversary! Aleisha joined and reunited with some friendly faces who knew her as a teeny-tiny “Sidetable”. And finally got to hand Steve his original Handy Dandy Notebook…in person!

Personal Note from Aleisha: “WOW!!!! What a privilege and a rarity to have been part of a production so special; that has had such longevity and societal impact, to this day! A show based on playfulness, positivity, individuality, joy, problem-solving, validation, and- pretty much all the things, I realize in retrospect, I ended up studying and teaching- NOT ironically!

Spending the years that I did recording Blue’s Clues, truly, helped shape my life and continues to influence who I am today (and even how I provide treatment!). It was SUCH AN HONOR to bring “Sidetable Drawer” to life, and represent a character who built confidence, with the help of her friends, to prove that she is “more than just a drawer”. These are some of my most cherished memories from the early parts of my career. It was SO incredible to see everyone again. Thank you for choosing me to keep one of the most important parts of the show safe: the Handy Dandy Notebook! As always, thanks, everyone, for being part of my journey.

Much love and respect,

~Aleisha”

HAPPY 30 YEARS TO BLUE’S CLUES CAST, CREW, AND FANS! 💙🐾
