Encyclopedia: Bozo the Clown |
 | | Bozo the Clown is the name of a clown whose widespread syndication in early television made him the best-known clown character in the United States. |
 | | Bozo was created in 1946 by Alan W. Livingston, who wrote and produced a children's storytelling record-album and illustrative read-along book set, the first of its kind, titled Bozo at the Circus for Capitol Records. |
 | | The most famous tale involves Bozo attempting to manage the behavior of an outspoken child by making the comment, "That's a Bozo no-no," which is said to have elicited the response from the kid: "Cram it, clownie!" On a Kermit Schaefer compilation of bloopers, a clip appears with the retort, "Fuck off, clown!". |
