Wasn't the Bozo show from Oak Brook? I loved that chap when I was a kid! Nothing like the grand prize game...I hope somebody knows what I am talking about or this is going to seem like a really weird post. I grew up in Champaign and my TV was stuck on Channel 9 WGN.

If you are talking Bozo the clown, we had a local NJ version of the show. I loved him too, although later we used to call a guy a "bozo" if he was a clown of a different ilk.
BTW-I was offered a job once located in Champain. I spent three days there checking it out.
Small world, no?

Very small....aren't we 7 people removed from knowing everybody in the world?
Yep, I was talking about Bozo the clown and do you remember Wizzo the wizard? He ran around saying doodee doodee doodee. Um, this really got weird...going back to my beer and TV.

Welcome to Illinois!
Bozo had a sidekick named cookie right? With orange hair? I grew up in south-eastern Wisconsin, but now live in the Western suburbs. I loved to practice the Grand Prize Game at home with garbage cans!

There is an old joke about Bozo! Everyone wanted to know what happen to him one day. And Cookie said, "I don't know, but Wizzo found his balls in bucket number six!"
Or something like that!
How about those magic arrows! That was a high tech special effect in its day!

We had a local Bozo. I went to see him live on day where he was doing a telethon.
We did NOT have a Wizzo the wizard. Must be a mid west only phenom.

asnigro, YES! Cookie, Bozo and Wizzo! I have been vindicated! The Grand Prize Game was awesome. I too practice on a regular basis...never know when I will have to call upon those skills to win a free trip to Disney world or a Porsche. I'm glad someone knows what I am talking about...I thought my forum membership might have been in jeopardy.
