Donovan Patton

Biography

Donovan Patton is an American actor and television host. Patton graduated from the Interlochen Arts Academy and acted in Shakespeare plays such as Much Ado About Nothing and Romeo and Juliet before replacing Steve Burns as the host of the television program Blue's Clues in 2002. Series co-creator Angela Santomero stated that Patton brought Joe, his character, closer to the preschool viewer, as Joe was more willing to "jump into a problem rather than figuring it out first like Steve". He also reprised his role as Joe in the spin-off Blue's Room (2004–2007) and the reboot Blue's Clues & You! (2019–2024). Since 2006, Patton also voices Bot on Nickelodeon's Team Umizoomi, and CatRat on the Netflix original DreamWorks series Gabby's Dollhouse.
