    I still would have owned the ball in the buckets Grand Prize Game. If only I lived in Chicago and given the chance.

      Yep, every kid that missed out on the brand new crisp one hundred dollar bill was a scrub and it should’ve been mine.

        One hundred dollar bill? It was a fifty dollar bill when I was a kid! Damn inflation.

        (Also, that was not Pinto Colvig’s Bozo. The original WGN Bozo was Bob Bell. He was replaced by Joey D’Auria in the mid-80s.)

      wow according to the article:

      Chicago’s Bozo’s Circus … had a waiting list for studio tickets that eventually reached ten years.
