AdWeek has a new article out dispelling the rumor that John Cena will be the new host of the upcoming re-boot of Nickelodeon’s Blues Clues.

The writer, Jason Lynch, was at the Nickelodeon’s upfront last week and was the one to snap the shot of Cena dressed as Steve from Blues Clues, the original host.

He tweeted the photo out in jest but, obviously, the story took on new life once Cena, the former Steve and Nickelodon all jumped in on the fun.

You can read the full article HERE, below is an excerpt:

But as all the buyers and advertisers in the Palace Theatre audience were well aware, Cena was never actually auditioning for the role. It was all just an upfront bit, one of many involving talent, network execs and buyers that upfront audiences will undoubtedly see at many of this year’s events. During last year’s NBCUniversal upfront, the company played a clever video in which Ice-T, in character as his Law & Order: SVU alter ego, interrogated buyers who were strapped to a lie detector machine.

After Cena exited the stage following his faux-audition, Zarghami told the audience, “John truly is the definition of a good sport. But he is not the host, just to be clear.”
