It's no coincidence, but the vary smiles that I have captured on your faces today is something that one very special person had been doing for 24 years. Bob Bell was one of those rare performers that was able to appeal as much to the adults as he did to the kids. He wasn't your typical clown in makeup, he was something much more. You could always tell he was having just as much fun as the audience was. He would sling jokes at the other cast members and say some funny things under his breath (similar to the way Popeye did in his early cartoons) that were hilarious. He would crack up the studio staff, the studio and at-home audience all at the same time. Bozo's Circus caught on fast! It was a phenomenon, spanning several generations. Its star had to be good and he most certainly was. Bob Bell joined WGN Continental Broadcasting Co. in 1956. He played a variety of wonderful characters on The Wally Phillips Show, before his debut as Bozo the clown in 1960. He also hosted Three Stooges shorts as a kindly old custodian character named Andy Starr. But he made his permanent mark on Chicago airwaves when in 1959, WGN-TV asked Bob Bell to portray Bozo the Clown on a live, 30-minute afternoon show consisting of one-man sketches and cartoons. "Bozo's Circus" was a live, hour-long telecast that aired weekdays at noon, and the birth of Bozo's Circus happened in 1961.
Bozo wasn't just a clown he was a great clown. He always seemed to have a certain glow to him. Whenever you saw him, he always looked happy, as if a smile had been painted on his face. His big red nose looked as if it was as bright as Rudolph's, if not brighter. His hair was as soft as silk, yet big enough to make Don Kings say "Damn!" He was always a jolly fella. No matter what kind of kids attended his show, he liked them for who they were. From kids that were nice and sweet, to kids that were scared or were spoiled brats who would sometimes stomp on his shoes, give him a blow to the stomach, or pull that long hair of his.

As I lay in my bed listening for the final bedroom door to close and the final light to go out, I devised a plan of escape. Just like every other night I would sneak out to go to the party of a lifetime, little did I know it would eventually catch up with me. I didn't care about the risk of gett...
