Here's a photo for blog readers that grew up in the Chicago area during the 1970s. It's WIZZO and BOZO from WGN-TV's, BOZO's CIRCUS! WIZZO was played by magician, MARSHALL BRODIEN and the legendary BOB BELL was BOZO to millions of Chicagoland children.
Love this 1966 BOZO THE CLOWN Frame Tray Puzzle by Whitman!
Here's a photo taken from the studio audience for WGN-TV's BOZO's CIRCUS. This looks to be about 1981 or 1982. It also appears that this photo was taken during the set-up of the show's Grand Prize Game. That's FRAZIER THOMAS in the light-colored sport coat, and BOB BELL as BOZO in the background.
Here's a couple of more classic photos from WGN-TV Chicago's BOZO's CIRCUS! Both photos are from the late 1960s and feature BOZO (Bob Bell) and OLIVER O. OLIVER (Ray Rayner).
Here's something for blog readers who grew up in the Chicago area during the 1960s and 1970s...just like me. As the studio audience would file out of the studio after seeing BOZO's CIRCUS live at WGN-TV, BOZO and other cast members would pose for photos with kids that were there at the show that day. Here's a great photo of BOZO (Bob Bell in center), OLIVER O. OLIVER (Ray Rayner on left) and SANDY (Don Sandburg on right) with a group of lucky kids! The photo is dated November 1967. What a great era of Chicago kids television!
Blog readers who grew up in the Chicago area during the 1960s and 1970s will recognize these two characters. It's BOZO (Bob Bell) and OLIVER O. OLIVER (Ray Rayner) from WGN-TV's, BOZO's CIRCUS. This 1971 photo was taken either during the Grand Prize Game or the end-of-the-show's audience participation game. The prize shown is Remco's BOATNIKS. Thanks to fellow classic Chicago kids TV fan and cartoonist, MARK CHRISTIANSEN, for sending this over.
