- BOZO IS ON THE AIR! Hot Toddy sits down with one of his childhood idols, Joey D'Auria, who played Bozo the Clown for 17 years on WGN Chicago's Bozo Show. Join them on a fascinating journey into the golden era of Bozo, where it all got started Joey and more!

Mr. D'Auria was the Bozo I grew up with in the mid-to-late '80s. My mom bought some cheap buckets and little prizes and we played the Grand Prize Game at my 8th or 9th birthday party.
I love Joey D'Auria ,as Bozo from 1984 to 2001.
I was a very young kid at the time, but I can remember when they changed Bozos. Joey is the one I grew up with the most. Such a legend in Chicago. The city should honor him some way.
Great memories here loved The Bozo Show I remember while living in Virginia begging mom to go to Chicago and play the Grand Prize Game on the Bozo Show
We miss you Bozo 😢
Joey D'Auria's Bozo definitely was the best! I grew up watching him as Bozo in Cleveland Ohio in the mid to late 90s and it sucks that we can't watch any of his episodes anywhere, we need to get them put on TH-cam for everyone to watch!
Awesome this is the BOZO of my childhood thanks for making this
On cable in Deposit, New York, I watched Bozo during school closings & sick days and my favorite is the Grand Prize Game
Joey has such an iconic look, love it. I'm a huge fan of him from hearing him voice Mr. Persnickety in the Mr. Men show and Whisper in Yo-Kai Watch.
I grew up with Bozo here in Chicago! I remember Bob Bell as a child, (had friends on the show in the audience!) but continued watching Joey as Bozo as an adult! When I was away in the army, I watched Bozo on WGN when I missed home. I miss those days, what nostalgia. Todd, where does life go?
That’s the golden question! I have a couple of recordings from the show and they are from ‘93 and I’m like…this doesn’t seem like 30 years ago. Time is an illusion.
I know Joey and I used to watch the Bozo show!! Joey is such a kind and amazing artist!
Yes this was my go to show in the Morning in the 80's through the 90's only show that trumped it and came on before at 5:00 AM each morning during the 80's on WGN The Muppet Show in Rerun's.❤😂
From Pinto Colvig to Larry Harmon to Bob Bell and any & everyone in-between who portrayed Bozo the Clown, I respect what they brought to the table as "The World's Most Famous Clown" and for their dedication to entertaining children & families, but being born in 1985, Joey D'Auria is the Bozo I knew & watched growing up. So thank you for this excellent & insightful interview with Joey, Todd! Now with David Arquette having bought the rights to Bozo from the Larry Harmon estate, it's really nice to hear that he's given Joey permission to go to events & do autograph signings as Bozo when Larry Harmon never did (I wonder why?). I've been feeling kinda nostalgic about Bozo lately and so have been reading about the character's history and watching Bozo-related videos here on TH-cam & such, which is how I came upon this video. I even recently bought the CD "Get Down with the Clown" by Bozo & Pals from 2003 with Larry Harmon as Bozo along with guests such as William Shatner, Tony Danza & Joe Bonamassa among others. It's listed as children's music and I'm 37 years old (I'll be 38 in a lil over 2 weeks) with no children (yet), so I'm not entirely sure what drove me to actually buy it, but I guess that's what nostalgia will do to you sometimes, lol. 🤡
I grew up with Bob Bell, Roy Brown, Marshall Brodin, sitting in my aunts dining room on Friday, Saturday nights, playing cards and drinking beer. I never met this gentleman. Great interview.
I grew up on Bob Bell's Bozo too from the mid '70s to the mid '80s when I entered middle adolescence.I watched the Joey D'Aaria version of Bozo for a time afterwards but not for long.the Bozo Show never seemed quite the same like it had with Bob Bell.he will always be to one!
Fantastic interview!
Oh nice !! I didn’t know he did voice acting but man his VOICE … it’s like hearing my Grandaddy tell me everything is gonna be ok again lol . Such a mental security blanket I didn’t even know I used to be SOOOO SO used to.
Dude, I love his voice! ^^
I like the show and the young kids like you are very good boza clown from aaron the tv show is very good 🎉🎉🎉
I met this guy at Meadowlark! Such a sweetie!
I watched this Bozo in Arkansas in the 90's
Bozo! It's been so long, glad to see him again! I was just thinking abot those crazy holiday cartoons/stop motion they'd show during this time of year.
I loved this show and this is great to see.
I love Doctor Flamo!! Bozo Too!!
I wish it was on dvd I want to watch it again
Same, WGN didn’t save many of the episodes. I was lucky that my dad had recorded a couple of episodes on VHS for me so at least I have those.
@@SuperFuzzProductions are the clips you feature of showing , like the opening animation, from an episode that you have on file? It looks like you had several segments from what would’ve been 1 show.
@@calebsons1154 Yes! I had clips from 2 shows that my dad recorded and I also found clips online.
@@SuperFuzzProductions are said-shows available for trade to co-fans?
This is fantastic!!
Awesome!
It's Time bring back these shows back.. Even Saturday morning Cartoons
In Boston, Bozo was played by Frank Avruch. After Bozo ended he continued on WCVB channel 5 as the station booth announcer and hosted The Great Entertainment Show that showed classic movies through the 1980s
I grew up with Bozo, but I never knew the actor's name... must have been Bob Bell, because it was the 70s. 😎
100 proof Bozo. As a kid I don't remember seeing a drunk Bozo. I wonder how many shots this guy had
He must be a professor now!
I remember Bazo since I was child about age 3-4 years old enjoy Bazo is good funny and nice to kids no harmful sad he passed away in about years in about 1984 or not sure anyway I like Bazo is best than other terrible clown murder!
Bozo
Bob bell passed away in 1984 he was the original Bozo
❤
Nobody talks about Gordon Ramsey he appeared as bozo the clown in 1969 on whats my line. But theres no information on his career as bozo or did he have one? Was Ramsy only bozo for whats my line or did he host the show for a time?
This was my Bozo growing up! I miss this
I wish Joey would put the make up on 1 more time
Whisper from Yo-kai Watch
Bozo VS Svengoolie
That's an impossible battle, you have two amazing heavy weights of talent/comedy. It's a draw for me.
@@SuperFuzzProductions well that’s what pretty much how things went down over at WGN
Chicago Legends
Childhood imagination is gone. It went into video games. Bozo
will work great there. There is always a place for Bozo, but it has
to work with a generation, who wants it NOW! They want VR Bozo
or video game Bozo. The show won't work anymore. Sad....
THANK YOU FOR GIVE"N A SMILE TO MY 80"S KID INSIDE ME, YOU GOT YOU"R ROSE"S FROM ME FRIEND YOU"R THE BOZO I KNOW /LOVE A TV FAMILY THAT I WILL HOLD FOREVER !!!!
Edit the scary clown pics out…no reason to add horror, made a great historic special video unsafe
Joey isn't and never was Bozo. Bob Bell is the Chicago Bozo - always will be.
Bob bell was drunking asshole
