Blippi: From Controversial Comedian to Kids’ Entertainer
Discover the background of Blippi, the children’s entertainer who uses YouTube and Amazon Video to educate kids through laughter and slapstick comedy. Read about his controversial past and how he became a better content creator for young, impressionable kids.
Blippi’s Background
Meet Stevin John, AKA Blippi, the children’s entertainer who’s taking YouTube and Amazon Video by storm with his fun-filled education programs. He’s like Mary Poppins, but with more slapstick comedy and less flying umbrella action.
Before he became the beloved Blippi, Stevin was a controversial comedian known as Steezy Grossman. He made a viral video called “Harlem Shake Poop,” which was definitely not child-friendly or SFW. Blippi would never do something like that! But don’t worry, he regrets it now and hopes his fans can forgive him for his past shenanigans.
Believe it or not, Stevin didn’t always dream of being an entertainer. He grew up surrounded by tractors and rural farm life, but he wanted to be a limo driver or a fighter pilot. He chose the latter and enlisted in the United States Air Force. Who knew that one day he’d be entertaining millions of kids around the world?
Blippi is known for his energy, curiosity, and childlike enthusiasm. He always wears his signature blue and orange beanie cap, bright blue shirt, orange suspenders, and bow tie. It’s like he’s a walking traffic cone, but in a good way.
Stevin was inspired to create Blippi after seeing his 2-year-old nephew watching low-quality videos on YouTube. He wanted to make something better for young, impressionable minds. And boy, did he succeed!
In the latest Blippi news, the actor who played him since 2014, Stevin Jones, has been replaced. Clayton Grimm, Blippi’s on-stage actor, stepped into Jones’ shoes on May 8th, 2021, leaving fans scratching their heads. But don’t worry, Blippi is still going strong and entertaining kids everywhere.
What is Blippi most famous for?

Reports claim that Blippi’s net worth is $20 million, which he has gained thanks to the millions of kids begging their long-suffering parents to subscribe to Blippi’s YouTube channel!

Blippi is 35 years old, and was born on May 21, 1988, in Ellensburg, Washington in the good ol’ US of A.
