Bozo The Clown; Larry Harmon dead at 83.


Larry Harmon might not have been the real Bozo The Clown, but he was the real Bozo The Clown. He played the wing-haired clown for more than a half a century died for more than a half a century. I remember watching the show as a kid, and thinking "Hey, I could do that!" and then I realized that tossing a ball into a cup was pretty difficult....until...I started playing Beirut.


Upon reading more into this Pinto Colvig was the first Bozo The Clown, he was also the voice of Disney's Goofy. Harmon eventually got the job as BTC (Bozo The Clown) and eventually purchased the exclusive rights, and began leasing it out to different people, whereas television stations hired their own actors to portray Bozo.


Ultimately this is creepy. Bozo The Clown is dead.
