Steve Burns listened to fans' thoughts on "Quiet on Set," and now, he's sharing his own.

The former "Blue's Clues" host, 50, spoke with Today and expressed his "horror and heartbreak" about the Investigation Discovery documentary series that explored alleged abuse experienced by Nickelodeon stars.

"It's just terrible to watch it unfold," he said. "I don't know what else to say, other than that it's heartbreaking."

Burns was the original host of the children's TV series "Blue's Clues," which aired on Nick Jr., a Nickelodeon programming block directed at younger kids. Burns, who hosted from 1996 to 2002, told Today that Nick Jr. and Nickelodeon "were so different," so he didn't have "any particular insight" to share.

Still, Burns told the outlet that it has to be "unfathomably painful" for those who are reliving traumatic memories.

"The fact that this is now what everyone’s talking about at the water cooler, it just breaks my heart," he added.

'Quiet on Set' new episode:Former 'All That' actor Shane Lyons says Brian Peck made 'passes' at him

Steve Burns' 'Quiet on Set' reaction came ahead of new episode featuring Giovonnie Samuels, Bryan Hearne

In "Quiet on Set," former "Drake & Josh" star Drake Bell alleged he was sexually assaulted by Brian Peck, a Nickelodeon dialogue coach who was later convicted of child sexual abuse. A mother also alleged a production assistant, Jason Handy, sent her daughter a nude photograph. The documentary additionally accused producer Dan Schneider of inappropriate behavior, such as asking employees for massages, and creating a toxic work environment on his shows.

In a new, fifth episode that aired on Sunday, former "All That" child actor Shane Lyons alleged Peck made "passes" at him on set. The episode also included a previously unseen interview with "The Amanda Show" star Raquel Lee Bolleau, who recalled being "so mad" about a sketch where Amanda Bynes spit in her face multiple times.

"All That" alums Giovonnie Samuels and Bryan Hearne also spoke out in the new episode, with Samuels revealing Schneider called her a week before "Quiet on Set" aired and asked for her support. She said she told the producer she was "terrified" of him. Hearne also dismissed Schneider's apology video, saying, "I think that he brushed off some (acting) chops and gave us a nice performance."

In March, Burns shared a TikTok video that did not directly mention "Quiet on Set" but was interpreted as being directed at fans who were upset by the documentary. In the video, Burns said he was "checking in" and asked followers what was "going on" before staring at the camera intently, nodding his head as if the viewer was speaking to him like he used to do on "Blue's Clues."

The TikTok drew more than 1 million likes and tens of thousands of comments from fans who said it left them feeling emotional.

"Steve checking up on the now grown up kids he left behind is another level of full circle moment," one fan wrote, while another posted, "Thank you for being one of the GOOD parts of Nickelodeon, Steve."

Burns joined a chorus of former Nickelodeon stars who have reacted to the allegations in "Quiet on Set." "All That" alum Kenan Thompson said on "Tamron Hall" in March that while he "never witnessed" anything that was described in the documentary himself, his "heart goes out to anybody that's been victimized or their families," and he called on Nickelodeon to "investigate more."

"Clarissa Explains It All" star Melissa Joan Hart also said on the "Meghan McCain Has Entered The Chat" podcast that while she had a positive experience at Nickelodeon, she "absolutely" believes those who came forward.
