It’s that time of year again and school is back in session. On August 27, 1979, All Things Considered’s Susan Stamberg talked about how to prepare for the first day of school by consulting with Fred Rogers and Daniel Striped Tiger of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood.

The interview was one of many collaborations between Stamberg and Rogers. The pair went on to work together on several television specials including Mister Rogers Talks to Parents about Superheroes in 1980, and Mister Rogers Talks with Parents about Divorce in 1981. While these PBS specials marked Stamberg’s first forays into live television, at first she almost backed out of the project because of her lack of experience. However, a very special friend – none other than Daniel Striped Tiger – called and convinced her to change her mind. In the tiger’s voice, Rogers asked, “What’s wrong, Susan? You’re frightened, aren’t you? Tell me about it.” Stamberg later reported that the call gave her confidence, as “weird as it seemed.”

Fred Rogers Acceptance Speech - 1997

I was reading something this week, and I can’t remember what it was, but it was some kind of interview or something, and the person offhandedly mentioned that a moment of great success/when all eyes are on you is the most important time to thank the people who got you there, because then you’re sharing the light and spreading the success instead of hoarding it like some terrible monster. And when I read it, I was like, “That makes such healthy, perfect sense.” And now I just scrolled upon this Mr. Rogers thing and like, of course. Of course this beautiful man had that same idea and executed it so sweetly.
