NEW YORK (AP) — Blue has lost her human sidekick.

Steve Burns, the 27-year-old host of Nickelodeon's hit show ``Blue's Clues,'' has decided to leave the cartoon stage.

``I didn't really want to become Krusty the Klown in front of the nation,'' Burns told Time magazine in its Jan. 8 issue, referring to the bumbling clown in ``The Simpsons.''

Burns teamed with the blue cartoon dog named Blue five years ago, helping TV-watching toddlers learn deductive reasoning. He made the role famous with his upbeat personality, khakis and stripped shirt.

Nickelodeon will replace Burns with his ``brother'' Joe, to be played by Donovan Patton. ``The new guy is funnier and better than me,'' Burns said.
