    Bozo RIP.

    You say clown and Bozo is the first that comes to mind... Who else? Well, maybe IT, Bozo's evil twin, but even then, it's someone who tries to look like Bozo.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Bozo had many impersonators. Local stations hired their own Bozos (like this video of Willard Scott) but Larry Harmon was the one and only.  Pinto Colvig was actually the original Bozo (voice) but Harmon later bought the rights to Bozo.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Here is a video of Willard Scott, one of Bozo's

    impersonators. As for his comment of once thinking of becoming a politician instead of a clown, with all the bozos in politics today, the only difference is at least Bozo was a good-hearted entertainer.
