Drunk History Presents Mr. Rogers' Beautiful Life

Mister Rogers was the gentle and caring friend many kids grew up watching on TV, he was the older adult we could trust to teach us good lessons about life and he was a steadfast supporter of PBS and the arts.

So naturally the story of how Fred Rogers saved PBS is best told by drunk comedian Solomon Georgio on the Comedy Central show Drunk History, right? (NSFW language)

All kidding aside, Colin Hanks does a great job of playing Fred Rogers, so if they ever make a biopic about his life I hope they see this clip and cast Colin in the lead role.

EDIT: Apparently I haven't been keeping up on movie news because Tom Hanks is set to play Mr. Rogers in the upcoming movie You Are My Friend. -thanks goblinheath!
