–Was it Larry Harmon?
I remember seeing that show. A five year old kid missed bucket number 6 and yelled “Goddammit!!” Bozo said “that’s a Bozo no-no.” And the kid responded “Oh yeah, Bozo? Well I got your f—in’ grand prize (pointing to his crotch) RIGHT HERE!” He took his prizes and walked off the set as they cut to a commercial.
Hmmm…just a few days ago it was a seven year old, and you “heard” the story. Now you say you remember seeing that show. I think we’re witnessing how an urban legend works its way into the cultural narrative in progress.
Hmm…
In Chicago, Bozo was played for a long time by a guy named Bob Bell (I remember reading an article about him in the early '70s).
Everybody and his brother talks about the “Fuck you, Bozo!” incident, but I’ve come to believe it never happened.
There was another zombie thread about this very subject that was just bumped a few days ago and subsequently closed.
There was at least one other thread from 1999.
We don’t need multiple Bozo threads, so I’ll close this one.
