Re: RIP Bozo the Clown
So this clearly isn't the Bozo I watched before school on WGN in the 80's...

I think Chuckle's epitaph would be appropriate here:
"A little song, a little dance, a little seltzer down your pants."
Farewell, Bozo.

Re: RIP Bozo the Clown
I thought Larry Harmon was Bozo.
Why I knew that, I don't know. I can remember this, but I can't remember what I did 10 minutes ago.

In the 70s & maybe later up here he was the very elegantly-dressed-&-mannered host of an old-movies series

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Re: RIP Bozo the Clown
Growing up in Boston, this was the Bozo I remembered.
Bozo got franchised.
But please don't tell me that Miss Jean of Romper Room was also franchised.

Harmon created Bozo. Avruch was Harmon's choice to be the one for syndication, for those areas which didn't have their own version.bazodee wrote:Growing up in Boston, this was the Bozo I remembered.

Romper Room itself was franchised, but I believe each city had their own Miss Something-or-other, with different actresses and names.
I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.

Re: RIP Bozo the Clown
Romper Room was both franchised and syndicated, according to Wikipedia. "Miss Nancy" was the national host but many cities had their own host; "Miss Jean" was for the Boston area.gsabc wrote:Harmon created Bozo.

Re: RIP Bozo the Clown
You're right. Bob Bell and Joey D'Auria played Chicago's Bozo, the one recognized by most Americans our age or older. Bell died in 1997, but D'Auria is still alive.littlebeast13 wrote:So this clearly isn't the Bozo I watched before school on WGN in the 80's...

Re: RIP Bozo the Clown
One of the ones I remember from the Birmingham AL station was also the 5 o'clock news anchor. I read he had about half an hour to get out of the Bozo outfit and makeup and get into the regular suit and news makeup before going back on air.Pastor Fireball wrote:You're right.
