00:00 Oh, here you are.

00:02 You're here and we're here.

00:04 I've got a good bat costume here to show you.

00:06 Doesn't matter what race you were, what colour you were,

00:08 what religion you were, what language you spoke,

00:11 you watched Mr. Dressup.

00:12 Ernie Coombs, Mr. Dressup, I mean, he was just so kind and gentle.

00:16 Ernie never forgot a child within him,

00:20 and that informs everything that he does with children.

00:24 When you tell people that Fred Rogers and Ernie Coombs

00:27 came to Canada together, most people don't even realise

00:30 that they were very close friends.

00:32 4,000 episodes, 30 years.

00:36 There are not that many shows that last that long.

00:40 Tell us what the secret is to 30 years on the air.

00:44 I'm a child at heart.

00:45 It's all doing things that I always liked to do when I was a kid.

00:48 The tickle trunk was this magical, like, Pandora's box.

00:52 As soon as you opened that lid, something was going to happen,

00:55 something magical.

00:57 I'm tugboat captain Dressup.

00:58 Is he going to be a wizard? Oh, no, he's a dinosaur.

01:01 The endless possibility of that.

01:03 Oh, my, what a lovely day.

01:04 Judith was able to make Casey come completely alive.

01:08 I didn't know if Casey was a boy or a girl.

01:11 Way ahead of its time, not a little bit,

01:13 way ahead of its time.

01:15 Looking back on it now, I wonder,

01:16 how on earth did I manage to do it for so long?

01:19 And then how on earth have I managed to survive

01:21 so long after I finished?

01:23 Having been Mr. Dressup for 20 years

01:26 has probably made me a better person.

01:28 You assume that he comes home and kicks off his Mr. Dressup shoes

01:31 and becomes a different person when he's at home,

01:33 and that just simply didn't happen.

01:35 The kids tease me a lot because I laugh at his jokes.

01:37 That's why I married you, 'cause you're such a great audience.

01:39 I'm a good audience.

01:41 Of course, when Sesame Street came on,

01:43 they said, "Oh, that'll be the end of you."

01:45 There was a question whether the show would go on.

01:48 We were having a wrap party.

01:50 But then as time went on,

01:51 I think we were getting the sense that Ernie was getting concerned.

01:54 How could he possibly continue what he wants to?

01:57 You have made me what I am today.

01:59 You know that.

02:01 Hi, good to see you.

02:02 One of the reasons I became an actor

02:03 was because at a very early age,

02:05 this person on television--

02:06 an adult but not an adult--

02:08 taught me that it was okay to let my free flag fly.

02:11 Ladies and gentlemen, one of the great Canadians.

02:13 Let's give it up.

02:14 [cheers and applause]
