You mean to tell me that I have to inform my daughter that Unicorns are not...REAL? Oh boy, that's gonna be a fun one. That said, I think the guy who did the taxidermy on the lion had actually seen one before, thought they were scary, and decided to make something more family friendly. Poor fella! 🙂

Kudos to whoever wrote this script. A+ research and A+ writing. Excellent stuff.

What an amazing display! Love the details. Looking forward to seeing it grow. 🎪

Always great videos! Thank you!

Dobby looks pretty good for being 150. Hope I keep my figure as well.

Well done... excellent work all!! Go Bridgeport! Go Camilla 🙂

Dumbest title I have ever read. "The world's most famous artist"? Yeah, right.

And some major Christian denominations are still fighting that battle. Fight the patriarchy!

As a long time friend of The Barnum, Circus historian, and fan, I'd like to congratulate you on a fine video, and lol....make a couple of corrections. The "painting" done by Howle is a self portrait of Howle who simulated Emmett's character. There were no rolling cages inside the big top. To get the big cats in and out there was a chute that connected the outside rolling cages to the arena. The stairs over the chute were not adequate to evacuate that quarter of the tent in less than ten minutes. The fire was re-investigated using modern techniques and it was determined that the "discarded cigarette" theories were not possible. Since the arsonist Segee was present the day of the fire (his alibi disproved) it leaves us with Segee and there are many reasons it is believed that he set the fire.... There are many reasons that Segee was never brought back to CT to face charges after the re-investigation. Having looked into the matter myself, I'll mention one reason: It became obvious that the State and the City were more than happy to have the circus sign off as the responsible party within the first few days, a move that the circus decided upon in order to get back on the road and begin to pay claims resulting from the fire. (The Show Must Go On!) Their only alternative was to go out of business. A proper "investigation" was not conducted. The "Accidental" fire theory prevailed. I have seen in the records references to collecting evidence at the point of origin but never has such evidence surfaced. I feel it important that people know that the fire was not accidental. Having met Emmett Kelly personally I'd add, he was a very charming fellow and as a circus fan for over 50 years, I've not met a single clown I'd ever call even remotely creepy...that is something Hollywood created - much to the chagrin of the great clowns I have enjoyed.

Would you be able to do a video about the show at the palace theater in Waterbury CT? I went to their ghost hunt and they say that they’ve gotten evidence of the ghost of the elephant that passed from falling into the stage.

That footage of the fire is incredible and terrifying.

This video was one of my Barnum favorites! Can’t wait for part 2.

I learned about her through the Marianne Faithful song "I've done it Again" performed by Grace Jones. The line in the song is "I was there when Jenny Lind first sang". Then I looked her up. Amazing woman!

Cowboy clowns n Hobo clowns don't seem sinister!

I highly suggest reading the book "The Magnificent Scufflers". It's about how American folk style wrestling started in Vermont as collar-and-elbow wrestling from Irish immigrants. It was very popular in northern New England. Eventually it moved to New York and morphed into a catch as catch can wrestling. As it traveled to the western states, more rules were modified until it was set in stone in Oklahoma at, what is now, Oklahoma State University. There is some truth to the concept that pro-wrestling started in county faires and circuses. Usually, what happened is that the "undefeated" wrestler employed by the promoter would lose to a local guy. The professional would not give it his all and lose. Word would spread all of the county that a local guy beat the champ. So, of course, a rematch was in order and the place was sold out. Then, the true skills of the professional were on display and he wins the rematch and the promotion makes a lot of money.

I found out about Jenny because of a painting of her I found in a thrift store. I felt attached to the painting. Many people don’t know about her, but only from the character in the greatest show men. I wish more people knew the real her!

Genius !!

I really do enjoy these fun facts!!

Amazing to learn this! Why is she not well known?😮

Did Polly ever actually sue Barnum ?

Loved the STATS and the FUN!!!!! ❤

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Wow! Most I knew, some I didn't. And the t-rex impressions were HILARIOUS!!

Thank you for sharing this. How awesome to hear his voice. 😊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Humble beginnings for sure. Amazing how smarts, ingenuity and perseverance changed his path in life!! Thanks!!

Good video!

The voice of the greatest showman?

This is the greatest show!

💐😍🥰💐

He’d be all over Skinwalker Ranch and all that alien crap. Good thing we have Mick West to humiliate people like Jeremy Corbell.

Considering how long he's been up there, it was time for a bit of exercise!

Gender norms are normal for a reason. Bearded women are still women. Transwomen aren't real women. Hence the"trans" part.

Beautiful repair work! Big congrats to the crew for their craftsmanship! 🎉

Im so glad CZcams has been giving me these newer and less monetized channels, its often full of truer-to-life topics than a lot of the other conent I used to watch 😊

😍

Awesome! Congrats!

WELCOME HOME!! A gleaming symbol for all of Bridgeport!

omg this is such a good video on such a small channel. I'm sure you'll grow fast if you keep it up

First

Ok so it will not be finished by fall so we can see it. Thanks for the update!

When will renovations be finished?

What the friggers!

I don't see glass trousers catching on anytime soon. But cool stuff!

Very interesting!

I don't think he realized that Iranistan is an insult to Persian's sovereignty. Iran is a conglomeration of provinces ending with -istan representing the ethnicity of the locals allied to form Iran, i.e. Kurdistan, Baluchistan, Loristan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, etc. some of which are now considered provinces of the greater Iran. Iran, thus can never be Iranistan.

i wonder if this is how he really spoke or did he change his pitch for the phonograph. they didnt handle bass tones very well.

WooHoo!
