Fuckin clown finally kicked.
Watched him all the time as a kid. Not sure if this demon made a positive impact in my life or is responsible for every dark violent thought I have. Hard to look at his pic now without picturing rotting gape-jawed ghey corpses in Gacy's crawlspace. -------------------------------------------
Frank Avruch, who was best known for playing Bozo the Clown, died Tuesday at the age of 89, according to his manager Stuart Hersh.
"While it's hard to say goodbye, we celebrate the legacy of joy and laughter he brought to millions of children around the world as Bozo the Clown on TV and as a UNICEF Ambassador and later as host of Channel 5's Great Entertainment and Boston's Man About Town," a statement from Avruch's family read. "Our dad loved the children of all ages who remembered being on his show and was always grateful for their kind words. We will miss him greatly."

Seriously, I thought Larry Harmon was Bozo, no? There was a succession of Bozo's. I believe Willard Scott was one too until he found a role as a clown with no make up...weatherman.

Seriously, I thought Larry Harmon was Bozo, no? There was a succession of Bozo's. I believe Willard Scott was one too until he found a role as a clown with no make up...weatherman. Harmon is the one I remember as a kid in NY in the 60's. You're right about a Bozo being in many media markets. The bolded part below says so. "Lawrence Weiss (January 2, 1925 – July 3, 2008), better known by the stage name Larry Harmon and as his alter-ego Bozo the Clown, was an American entertainer. Harmon was born in Toledo, Ohio and raised in Cleveland. During World War II, he served as a private in the Army. Upon returning, he wanted to become a doctor, until he met entertainer Al Jolson. According to Harmon's autobiography, The Man Behind the Nose, Jolson told him, "Being a doctor of medicine is honorable, but you'll touch so many more lives as a doctor of laughter!"[2] Harmon instead attended the University of Southern California, where he majored in theater and performed in the Spirit of Troy marching band.[1] In 1956, Harmon purchased the licensing rights to the Bozo character from Capitol Records. Harmon marketed the Bozo property aggressively. By the late 1960s, Harmon had licensed local Bozo TV shows in nearly every major U.S. market, as well as in other countries.[3] Harmon also produced a series of Bozo animated cartoons intended to be shown with the live-action show, performing Bozo's voice himself." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Harmon
