It cuts off mid-sentence at the end but I'm sure he's saying, "What a fine young boy."

Mr Rogers is a national icon in the USA. It's not HE who is creepy it is the times we live in that make it impossible for an adult to converse with a child without suspicion.
Taking the pish out of him is like Yanks deriding Tony Hart or Oliver Postgate.

Really, Mr Rogers' Neighbourhood was, with Sesame Street, the best kid's programme on TV when I was growing up (I spent part of my childhood in the states before moving back to the UK at 8). He was a lovely man, genuinely dedicated to education, who started every programme by reassuring the watching children that everyone is an equally special, important individual. He also believed that the scripts on kid's shows should be as well-written as those for grown-up programmes, and that just because children were young, they shouldn't be fobbed off with second-rate entertainment.
Edit: yes, what he^ said. Nearest US equivalent of Hart/Posgate

"The chairman of the subcommittee, John O. Pastore, was not previously familiar with Rogers' work, and was sometimes described as gruff and impatient. However, he reported that the testimony had given him goosebumps, and declared, "Looks like you just earned the $20 million." The subsequent congressional appropriation, for 1971, increased PBS funding from $9 million to $22 million.[13]

Was impressive to hear what a nice human being he was- and a shame he seems creepy today- but from the sounds of things he was a really really nice guy
