Bob Bell
Bob Bell (January 18, 1922 - December 8, 1997) was famous for his alter-ego, Bozo the Clown. He originated the character for Chicago's WGN-TV.
In 1960, WGN-TV asked character actor and staff announcer Bob Bell to portray "Bozo the Clown" on a live, 30-minute afternoon show consisting of one-man sketches and cartoons. "Bozo's Circus" was a live, hour-long telecast that aired weekdays at noon.
In 1970, Bell received his first Emmy for WGN-TV’s "Bozo’s Circus." He retired from WGN-TV and "The Bozo Show" in 1984, and was inducted into the International Clown Hall of Fame in 1996. He joined his co-star and fellow clown Roy Brown , the circus cook Cooky, in the International Clown Hall of Fame.
