Fred McFeely Rogers (March 20, 1928 – February 27, 2003) was an American television personality, musician, puppeteer, writer, producer, and Presbyterian minister. He was known as the creator, composer, producer, head writer, showrunner and host of the preschool television series Mister Rogers\' Neighborhood (1968–2001). The show featured Rogers\'s kind, neighborly persona, which nurtured his connection to the audience. Rogers would end each program by telling his viewers, "You\'ve made this day a special day, by just your being you. There\'s no person in the whole world like you; and I like you just the way you are."\n', '
Trained and ordained as a minister, Rogers was displeased with the way television addressed children. He began to write and perform local Pittsburgh-area shows for youth. In 1968, Eastern Educational Television Network began nationwide distribution of Rogers\'s new show on WQED. Over the course of three decades, Rogers became a television icon of children\'s entertainment and education.\n', '
