I worked with Bob for 13 years. He was an interesting man. He was more comfortable with an audience than one one conversations. When I told him a friend would put his show on to nap, he replied "I don't care why they put it on, as long as it's on". His calming voice was his magic. Hypnotic. After all my interactions with him, I have nothing negative to say about him. He always knew his paintings "would never hang in the Louvre" but it was never why he painted. He lived modestly, and his neighborhood friends would bring him any animals that they found injured. He took them all. I also met pea pod when he was tiny. But he bit so Bob wouldn't let me try to pat him. Pea pod loved Bob and he did live in his shirt pocket.. Bob was really a celebrity among his fans...painters or not, and he never hesitated to talk with them for as long as they wanted. He was very special in many ways...

I've loved watching Bob Ross as long as I can remember & I've even bought his products (they're actually high quality & affordable) but I never knew anything about him or his history. That's for sharing this amusing insight into this iconic man.

I remember Bill Alexander also. Lord, I was a PBS nerd in the 1980's during puberty including the Original "Cosmos" by Carl Sagan. Think I would have been the AV club in Stranger Things. Good memories.

I have always admired Bob Ross. I seriously tried to paint but I wasn’t very good. My family is full of amazing artists-from classical composers to sketches of my children and I over the years sitting in a local restaurant for dinner. All of us were classical musicians, and dancers. I love thinking of the adventures we took when we were a young family. and even though my father passed away in 2012, and my mom is not able to play her viola or dance anymore, I feel like the luckiest person because of the joy, love, and lessons I learned just through their examples. I wish more parents (and just people in general) could see how valuable creativity is and how it enhances every part of a child’s life, even when that child is 52, like me. Bob Ross exemplified the joy of the creative spirit. He taught millions of people to see the forest and the happy trees that make up that forest. Thanks for this video! I love learning through Weird History. Cuz We’re all a bit weird, right?

I once heard of a poll amongst surgeons whom specifically train in hand/arm surgery which finger they would least wouldn't mind losing, and by far it was the pinkie ... as for the most, that came out be both the thumb/fore-finger, as the combination of both is where most of your grip comes from, especially when holding surgical instruments. So to lose 1/2 of his index finger must have taken a great deal to recover from, especially if it was his dominant hand. The fact he bounced back from such a nasty accident, is just one more thing to admire about him ...

One day I was out with my 3 yr old & saw a dad with 3 kids (around my dad's age) my daughter says "mommy look bob Ross!" & I said to him "dude I love your bob ross t-shirt her father & I are fans".

All of the paintings are stored in boxes at bob ross inc and i think some are gonna be in a museum

There was an episode I saw where he did a painting with a campfire scene in middle of the woods. It was dark yet full of bright glowing reds and oranges too. There was a silhouette of a man in it 🙂 That was the only episode I recall seeing a human being in, tho there could have been more. I’ve watched most episodes more than once ❤️

Bob broke himself and turned into a painter. This similarly happens to a lot of military vets when they leave what they use to do behind and start reflecting.

It can take knowing you are powerful and formidable to be able to be comfortable being soft and kind without it being a weakness.

There should be a Bob Ross art museum. He made so many paintings, his work could easily fill a museum!

God Bless these gentle, talented, inspirational, rare😔 souls. Between Bob Ross and Mr Rogers, the last century was truely magical✌️

Oh cool....you served! What division leader? Bob Ross

Excellent narrative and production of such a great man's life!!

I watched him everyday when I got home from school, and it would put me to sleep, lol but he was so peaceful to watch. We need more shows like this

I used to get home from school, turn on his show and it would instantly put me to sleep. I took countless naps over the years while Bob's show played in the background. His voice was so soothing. RIP Mr. Ross and thanks for all those happy healthy naps!

I love this video and knowing a little more about Bob Ross. I don't paint sadly but love watching him create. Thank you again

This is the content that I subscribed for.

I love waking up to Bob Ross on a weekend having coffee. A great way to start the day.

Oh what a great childhood memory for myself. The good old days

Im just gonna leave a happy little comment right here.. 😊

Love him

I LOVE BOB ROSS!!!!!! I used to watch him all the time when I was a kid. I have a Bob Ross coloring book that I working on throughout this COVID pandemic.

My favorite show the weekends as kid was watching Bob Ross! I remember watching him in complete amazement of what he could do with an empty canvas. Adding reflections to the water here, a happy tree there. Decades later I still watch the reruns. I do on occasion try to listen while I sleep. But find myself waking up to how he completed his paintings even though I have seen all the episodes a thousand times lol. RIP Bob you are truly an inspiration!💕

Bob Ross was the original asmr artist

Bill was the one I watched. He was awesome!

Only saw the other guy once or twice, but now I'm gonna seek him out. It'll be a laugh to see the fiery counterpart to that mellow guy I grew up watching. Kinda like one = yin & the other = yang.

Thank you for the enlightening and entertaining piece in Bob...He gave so much to so many...❤️❤️❤️

I never had any desire to paint, but I used to like to watch Bob do it, he made it seem effortless.

Something tells me his painting are about to start being worth big bucks.

Actually, his paintings are not up for sale. There was a video about the organization that owns them and they said that they have almost all of his paintings stored away in boxes with no plans to auction them off any time soon.

@@Hopeful_dreamer i heard this also. I think the Smithsonian Museum is getting some, the lady that "discovered" him had a copy of then in her house, and the rest are in boxes at the headquarters. I believe it was a Journal KZread video?

@@melodiebeck5073 It may have been! It was a very informative video on it. I didn't know some were on loan at the Smithsonian! That's very interesting considering how most of them are packed away or only around the lady that discovered him

2:22 I guarantee he never made anyone scrub taurine. I think you meant latrine.

"Taurine"...an amino acid contained in some energy drinks. Named after Taurus, hence the name "Red Bull."

He was certainly an amazing person. With all of the negativity and hate in the world today, we need more guys like Bob Ross.

Whenever I ditched school I would always watch The Price is Right, I Love Lucy, and The Joy of Painting while half asleep. It was the best.

I loved him when I was a kid....and now my kids love him too :)

I took painting classes with Bill Alexander as a kid.....

Geez you knew Bill Alexander when he was a kid. You ARE OLD.

I love Bob Ross. His show is just so relaxing. I bought the Bob Ross game and it is quite fun. Saw it in the store and just could not resist.

I watched the show to relax. Never painted or bought any supplies but his voice and demeanor were like an antidepressant for me as a kid. Thanks for everything Bob Ross

I had a happy tree once but I smoked it.

I enjoyed watching this and had no idea about his mentor! I discovered Bob Ross in 1988 as a college freshman while flipping channels one afternoon. I was amazed by his paintings, his technique, and yes, his voice and manner of speaking. I loved his show. I also remember learning the color “Titanium White” too. 😊

I've been avoiding videos like this in fear I'd learn something disappointing about my all time favorite person ever, but I'm very happy to learn he was always an amazing person.
