Flint’s Bozo The Clown – The Legacy of Frank Cady
Manage episode 404719002 series 3532684
Most big city television markets had a Bozo the Clown show in the 1960-70s. In Flint, Michigan, Frank Cady was Bozo. As part of the Sloan Museum of Discovery's artifact collection, Frank Cady's original costume, clown shoes, hair and accessories are on display. In this lighthearted episode of Discover Uncover, Jerome and Geoff go into some of Bozo folklore and show off some of his lesser-known accessories, like his giant comb and some of the original "magic" acts seen on the set of ABC 12.
