Different Bozo, and yes, he is the one that is long dead. http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1997-...ll-mr-bell

I am with bunny, the first thing I thought when I saw the article is 'this guy is still alive?'

This is the Bozo the Clown I remember.
As a child I watched that show when I lived in the Great Lakes area. And remember still catching it on WGN when I first moved to Pensacola.

I even owned the at home game of the ping pong balls and buckets.

Apparently, there were quite a few Bozos as it was a franchise idea as opposed to a syndication show.

Whoda thunk it.

After looking into more... I probably mostly remember https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bozo_S...unday_Show
A fella named Joey D'Auria took the helm and it was likely him that I remember most especially once I was in Pensacola post 1993
