Mr. D'Auria was the Bozo I grew up with in the mid-to-late '80s. My mom bought some cheap buckets and little prizes and we played the Grand Prize Game at my 8th or 9th birthday party.

I was a very young kid at the time, but I can remember when they changed Bozos. Joey is the one I grew up with the most. Such a legend in Chicago. The city should honor him some way.

Joey has such an iconic look, love it. I'm a huge fan of him from hearing him voice Mr. Persnickety in the Mr. Men show and Whisper in Yo-Kai Watch.

I grew up with Bozo here in Chicago! I remember Bob Bell as a child, (had friends on the show in the audience!) but continued watching Joey as Bozo as an adult! When I was away in the army, I watched Bozo on WGN when I missed home. I miss those days, what nostalgia. Todd, where does life go?

That’s the golden question! I have a couple of recordings from the show and they are from ‘93 and I’m like…this doesn’t seem like 30 years ago. Time is an illusion.

From Pinto Colvig to Larry Harmon to Bob Bell and any & everyone in-between who portrayed Bozo the Clown, I respect what they brought to the table as "The World's Most Famous Clown" and for their dedication to entertaining children & families, but being born in 1985, Joey D'Auria is the Bozo I knew & watched growing up. So thank you for this excellent & insightful interview with Joey, Todd! Now with David Arquette having bought the rights to Bozo from the Larry Harmon estate, it's really nice to hear that he's given Joey permission to go to events & do autograph signings as Bozo when Larry Harmon never did (I wonder why?). I've been feeling kinda nostalgic about Bozo lately and so have been reading about the character's history and watching Bozo-related videos here on KZfaq & such, which is how I came upon this video. I even recently bought the CD "Get Down with the Clown" by Bozo & Pals from 2003 with Larry Harmon as Bozo along with guests such as William Shatner, Tony Danza & Joe Bonamassa among others. It's listed as children's music and I'm 37 years old (I'll be 38 in a lil over 2 weeks) with no children (yet), so I'm not entirely sure what drove me to actually buy it, but I guess that's what nostalgia will do to you sometimes, lol. 🤡

Yes this was my go to show in the Morning in the 80's through the 90's only show that trumped it and came on before at 5:00 AM each morning during the 80's on WGN The Muppet Show in Rerun's.❤😂

In Boston, Bozo was played by Frank Avruch. After Bozo ended he continued on WCVB channel 5 as the station booth announcer and hosted The Great Entertainment Show that showed classic movies through the 1980s

Same, WGN didn’t save many of the episodes. I was lucky that my dad had recorded a couple of episodes on VHS for me so at least I have those.

Childhood imagination is gone. It went into video games. Bozo will work great there. There is always a place for Bozo, but it has to work with a generation, who wants it NOW! They want VR Bozo or video game Bozo. The show won't work anymore. Sad....
