Fred Rogers foi o criador de Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, um programa infantil de TV muito popular na década de 1960. Em 1998, Tom Junod, até então um cínico jornalista, aceitou escrever o perfil de Rogers para a revista Esquire. Durante as entrevistas para a materia, Junod mudou não só sua visão em relação ao seu entrevistado como também sua visão de mundo, iniciando uma inspiradora amizade com o apresentador.

Por mais de trinta anos, e através de seu programa de televisão, Fred Rogers (1928-2003), apresentador, produtor, escritor e pianista, acompanhado de seus bonecos e seus muitos amigos, falou diretamente com crianças pequenas sobre alguns dos assuntos mais importantes da vida.
Co-Executive Producer
Writer, producer, puppeteer, songwriter--America's Favorite Neighbor takes a thorough look at the career of legendary children's television host Fred Rogers. Produced for Pittsburgh's WQED, this informative documentary tracks his rise as floor manager for various NBC programs, such as Your Hit Parade, to the major awards he received later in life, such as the Lifetime Achievement Award and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Along the way, he's seen launching public TV programs The Children's Corner, which featured a soon-to-be-famous puppet named King Friday, and Canada's MisteRogers. The latter, naturally, was followed by Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, which made its national debut in 1968, and would eventually became the longest running program in PBS history. Hosted by fellow Pennsylvania native Michael Keaton (Batman), who worked on his show in the early days, America's Favorite Neighbor is suitable for all ages, but is geared more towards adults, particularly parents and educators.
