Bob Ross "The Joy of Painting" sees Surge in Popularity during Pandemic

Though he's been gone 25 years, the calming TV presence of Bob Ross and his show "The Joy of Painting" has seen a resurgence -- amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The show, famous for the painter's soothing voice and ability to whip up a masterpiece in every episode, has attracted a whole new generation of fans. Streaming service Tubi has picked up the former public television series -- and it's more popular than ever, Joan Kowalski, president of Bob Ross Inc.

"It started about five years ago when there was an eight-day marathon on Twitch TV which brought out all the millennials ... Generation X, Y and Zs," Kowalski, whose parents discovered Ross and helped bring him to public TV in the '80s, said. "And then with the pandemic, we've gotten another surge with people staying at home and they remember how much they want to have Bob in their lives -- and they're painting, too!"
