Author Topic: Why was Bozo the Clown very popular in Chicago? RED-001 Applicant posted                        2011 was the 50th Anniversary year for Bozo's Circus that aired on WGN. Can anyone tell me why Bozo endured in the Windy City while he dried up in other markets? In fact,anybody here from Chi-town?

I'm sure that had something to do with it also. -------------------- The only character in all of literature who has been described as "badnass" while using the phrase "vile miscreant."

Quiz Kids comes to mind as another highly successful property originating from Chicago.

They had a good Bozo and good cast of others. From: Manhattan, NY | Registered: May 2011  |  IP: Logged |
