What happens

The Bozo Show is a children's television program that aired on WGN-TV in Chicago and nationally on its superstation feed (now NewsNation) from 1960 to 2001. It was based on a children's record-book series, Bozo the Clown, by Capitol Records. The series was a locally produced version of the internationally franchised Bozo the Clown format and is the longest-running in the franchise. Recognized as the most popular and successful locally produced children's program in the history of television, it aired under this title for only 14 of its 40+ years: it also aired under the titles Bozo (1960–1961), Bozo's Circus (1961–1980), and The Bozo Super Sunday Show (1994–2001).
