Holy crap. I remember being five and watching this and hoping i would be the "at home player" never realizing my parents would have to send my name it lol. This is like a time machine
As a kid watching this, I used to think, wow Bozo is a little odd. 49 year old me watching this and now I realize that Bozo was 4 or 5 drinks in by this point in the show..
Bob Bell was the actor who played Bozo in this video. He was in the role from 1960, when WGN-TV had a predecessor Bozo program from Tribune Tower that primarily showed cartoons, until his retirement from the station in 1984. By then, WGN-TV's "Bozo's Circus" (later "The Bozo Show") had become a national phenomenon from its West Bradley Place studio. It was also aired nationally as WGN-TV was a superstation.

@@purpletomatocinema that was a Bozo in a different market, not Chicago. This Bozo show was cancelled due to low ratings and increasing competition from childrens' TV networks.
Bozo is LIT 😂
Yes he is
Yes
He didn't slur his words in the one
Yeah. Look at how red his nose is 😂
I loved the grand prize game!!!!!

I watched this erry day and went apeshit when the kids missed the first basket in the ball toss😆🤷♂️. I thought it looked east😆😆😆🤷♂️🤦🏼♂️
This show is why I’m the beer pong champion of 2002. I always wanted to win a Bunn Coffemaker as a kid (for some inexplicable reason). 😂
Bob was the funniest man in Chicago at the time.
Next to Richard Daley?
Bob was great as Bozo...and Roy made a great sidekick.

Lottta friggin prizes on this show! Never thought of that.
I watch this many time as a child
Was Bozo drunk?!.lol.
He was slurring his words😹
He sounds sauced
agreed🍹🍹🍹🍹
He sounded drunk. That was Bob Bell. That Bozo seemed scary to me. I love Joey D’Aria. That was the recent Bozo.
Yea I think he was
Bozo had a little extra help on this one
This was sometime from 1982-84 before Joey took over
UMM Bozo sounds a little off ( YA WANNA TAKE A RIDE IN MY VAN MIKEY!!)
Every once in a while a kid would miss bucket number 1 😮
Yes..that would make me so sad.
Jim Lahey as bozo
😹😹😹😹
Sigh...Bob and Roy and Ned are missed....Bob should have guest starred on the Simpsons as his voice inspired Dan.
Bozo is Great clown 😎👍
I was an at home player. I still have some of the prizes I won.
That Bozo doll the girl won was creepy looking lol it's prolly haunted
2:21 “so Michael , does your mom like guys with big red noses?”
I watched this all the time as a little kid. I thought it was so cool. Watching it as an adult It's creepy asf, and bozo seems a little tipsy
I thought so too even when I was a kid. But I still loved the show
Jenny was beautiful...just like the cake...Roy was also so clumsy as Cookie.
Where can I find more episodes?
I got it from the Internet Archives
He sounds drunk 😂
If I had to play a clown and be surrounded by annoying kids for over 30 years, I'd be boozing it up too.😂
That’s kinda rude to call them annoying bro
RIGHT there AH HA!
6:56 cooky lol
Sounds like chris farley
Who was the actor who played Bozo?
Good question, I believe this one aired in Chicago so the actor was probably Marshall Brodien
@@purpletomatocinema Marshall played Wizzo on the show, not Bozo.
@@mrmcclear Really, I thought he played Bozo. Idk why I thought he did.

Bob Bell, this Bozo, retired. The Bozo who took up after him in Chicago, Joey D'Auria continued this series until its cancellation.

Was he drunk?
I think so
Definitely…
No gay crap then
