It's been
50 years since
Mister Rogers' Neighborhood premiered on television. Now you can learn the story of Fred McFeely Rogers (played in this episode by
Colin Hanks) from comedian
Solomon Georgio as he relays it to host
Derek Waters -- completely sauced-- in the latest episode of
Drunk History.https://www.facebook.com/drunkhistorytv/videos/1549445235168307/
And, if you've never seen the real footage from 1969 of Mr. Rogers pleading to the Senate for more funding for his then one-year-old television, I recommend that you do:

Gives me goosebumps every time.
Also: There's going to be a Mister Rogers documentary in 2018
