Barney the Dinosaur David Joyner -- The Man Behind the Purple Mask

I remember seeing unmasked him years ago but I can't remember where. He was talking about how heavy that Barney costume was and all the jumping around he had to do in it.

That's great! OMG Barney is the Bomb! David is so adorable!

My now 17 year old niece LOVED him when she was around 2 and 3 yrs old. Could not get enough of watching Barney over and over. Then she saw a REALLY sorry excuse for Barney at a street festival and was terrified of him ever after.

Oh he's cute, I think I'm in love!!!

Hey--Barney's a cutie under all that purple. Who knew?

Cool.
Barney was a great "babysitter"

He must know Demi Lamato and Selena Gomez- Former Barney Girls!

@ #8... we heard you the first time!

WOW, after all the crap I keep reading about these nasty ass thug rappers, a real black man steps up to the challenge and does something worthy...for, guess who?...Others in need! I am impressed. Your the man Mr. Joyner. Keep up the great work. How refreshing....

Props to Barney.

But the questions he was asked in the video were beyond stupid. Whoever asked those questions, do us all a favor and cut out your own tongue.

oh Barney, I have loved you and cursed you depending on the child and how many times we watch you that day. lol I can't remember how many years now, the kids are grown but we still have the videos (yes vhs) that I now watch with my grandson.

My kids and I enjoyed watching Barney. That was a terrific kid show.

My Jack Russel has a talking Barney (children are grown and gone)Ever so often I hear "Hello to all my friends" when He plays with Barney.

When I first saw the pic I thought it was of Will Smith with a brain injury....
