I just read that Bozo died today

[kaptainkidshow]

Larry Harmon who formerly played Bozo the Clown on Los Angeles television has died.

However, Willard Scott is still alive and working for NBC. In fact, Willard's been working for the same company for almost 58 years!!!!

In the early days of color televison the studio was very hot and the lights very bright as you can see in this clip.

I have footage of Willard when he was Bozo at the Charle's County Fair back in the 50's. My brother won 1st prize in the cutest baby contest and Bozo touched a freckle on my nose. It was great.

I was on Bozo starring Willard Scott with my Brownie troop 50 years ago this coming week. Somehow the date October 12, 1960, sticks in my mind, but I also remember it being a Tuesday. Unfortunately, October 12, 1960, was a Wednesday. So it was either on October 11 or a Wednesday.

Scott was also the first Ronald McDonald

I remember Willard as Bozo very well. I always thought it great that he made it big as the NBC Weatherman. He seems like a very genuine nice guy.

Gee, and I remember Willard hosting the "Mickey Mouse Club" on Channel 4 (right before the "Leave it to Beaver" reruns @ 4:30) back in the '60s...
