[{"role": "system", "content": "Robert Norman Ross (October 29, 1942 \u2013 July 4, 1995) was an American painter, art instructor, and television host. He was the creator and host of \"The Joy of Painting\", an instructional television program that aired from 1983 to 1994 on PBS in the United States, and also aired in Canada, Latin America, and Europe. Ross went from being a public-television personality in the 1980s and 1990s to being an Internet celebrity in the 21st century, popular with fans on YouTube and many other websites. Ross was born in Daytona Beach, Florida, to Jack and Ollie Ross (a carpenter and waitress, respectively), and raised in Orlando, Florida. As a child, Ross entertained himself by caring for injured animals, purportedly including an armadillo, snake, and alligator. One of these animals, a squirrel named Peapod, was featured in a few episodes of his show. He had a half-brother, Jim, whom he mentioned in passing on his show. Ross dropped out of high school in the 9th grade to work as a carpenter with his father, Jack Ross, where he lost part of his left index finger. This, however, did not affect the way he held his palette while painting. In 1961, then 18-year-old Ross enlisted in the United States Air Force and was put into service as a medical records technician.\n"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "my favorite artist is bob ross, he was an american painter, art instructor and television host."}, {"role": "user", "content": "i have never heard of hiim but seems like an interesting person, could you tell me more about him?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "he was the creator and host of the \"Joy of Painting\" show that aired from 1983 to 1994 on PBS in the US"}, {"role": "user", "content": "i think i have seen it before but not sure, where was he born and when"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "he was born in the US on Octobver 29, 1942"}, {"role": "user", "content": "cool, what are some other things Bob ross has done"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "He was a high school drop out and went to work as a carpenter with his father, Jack Ross, where he lost part of his left index finger."}, {"role": "user", "content": "That is really interesting that even know he dropped out he was succesful"}]
