	Bozo the Clown - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bozo the Clown (also known as Bozo), is the name of a clown whose widespread franchising in early television made him the best-known clown character in the United States.
		Bozo the Clown was created in 1946 by Alan W. Livingston, who wrote and produced a children's storytelling record-album and illustrative read-along book set which Livingston called a "Record Reader", the first of its kind, titled Bozo at the Circus for Capitol Records.
		Unlike many other shows on television, "Bozo the Clown" was a franchise as opposed to being syndicated, meaning that local TV stations could put on their own local productions of the show complete with their own Bozo.

	Bozo the Clown - Don Markstein's Toonopedia
		He was just a clown, a guy who dresses funny and acts goofy (in fact, the first actor to do his voice and portray him in promotional appearances was Pinto Colvig, who also played Disney's Goofy), and this particular one was in fact designed as a composite of several previous clowns.
		Bozo will be remembered a very long time, and not just as a slang expression for someone with no brains.
		(That use preceded the clown, but was undoubtedly made more popular by him.) When we think of fictional characters named Bozo, we don't think of Bozo the Bear or Bozo the Robot, both of which enjoyed modest success in their times.
