Blue's Clues is a franchise that usually consists of a human host and a series of animals and talking objects voiced by voice actors. However, there have been some guest stars. For this article, I'll be mentioning my favorite guest stars from the Blue's Clues franchise. There have been three shows and two films, so there have been plenty of great guests over the years.
Ray Charles as G-Clef in Blue's Big Musical Movie
One of the most memorable aspects about the original Blue's Clues film is that legendary singer Ray Charles guest-voiced as a musical note named G-Clef. Ray Charles is one of the most famous people to appear in Blue's Clues. He got a chance to prove why he was so popular by giving one of the best song performances in the franchise. His performance doesn't feel phoned in. It felt like he was treating his guest performance in Blue's Clues with care and dignity. His song was a unique and strong addition to the original film.
Casey Kasem as a radio announcer in a season 5 episode of the original series
I was very surprised to hear the voice of Casey Kasem in an episode of Blue's Clues. Having him voice a radio announcer made sense, because he was a radio performer in real life. However, what made Casey Kasem's guest appearance so fitting is that Casey Kasem was known for voicing Shaggy in Scooby-Doo. Scooby-Doo is about a dog and his friends solving mysteries by finding clues, while Blue's Clues is about a puppy leaving clues for the hosts to find. The two franchises have a lot in common, so it was great to have an original Scooby-Doo cast member guest star in the original Blue's Clues series.
Donovan Patton in a season 1 episode of Blue's Room
Blue's Room had Blue be able to interact with the viewers. That's likely why they decided to abandon the idea of a human host. However, Joe did guest star in the first season's holiday episode. The Blue's Clues franchise didn't feel the same without a human in the cast, so Joe's guest appearance was the highlight of the season. Thankfully, Joe became a major member of the cast in the second season.
Steven Burns as Steve and Donovan Patton in various episodes of Blue's Clues & You!
Blue's Clues & You! has Josh Dela Cruz as Josh, the new host. However, Steve and Joe both continue to remain a part of the franchise. They appeared in the first episode to teach Josh how to play Blue's Clues. Steve appears once per season, while Joe tends to appear every once in a while. Every episode that brings either of them or both of them back feels like a big event. Josh has done a great job at hosting the franchise, but it's always comforting to have the previous hosts revisit some old friends. In Blue's Clues & You!, Steve is a detective, while Joe works at the Present Store. Their new jobs give them new sorts of roles to play in the series.
Meghan Trainor as a rainbow in a season two episode of Blue's Clues & You!
The original era of Blue's Clues got one of the biggest singers at the time, Ray Charles, to guest star, so it seems fitting that the new era of Blue's Clues would get somebody as famous as Meghan Trainor to guest star. Like Ray Charles, Meghan Trainor wasn't physically there, but she got a chance to show off her impressive singing skills. She voiced a rainbow that Josh and Blue met. She got to a sing a very pleasant, sweet song.
BD Wong as Rainbow Puppy's manager in Blue's Big City Adventure
BD Wong is an actor that I love from his work as Hugo Strange in Gotham. Having an actor from the Batman franchise appear in the Blue's Clues franchise is very exciting for me, because I'm a huge fan of both franchises. BD Wong has played a fair share of villains, but Blue's Big City Adventure gave him a chance to prove that he can play non-evil characters, too. BD Wong was an actor that Josh Dela Cruz looked up to, so having him appear in Josh's film is both very fitting and very sweet.
