- From deep inside the WGN-TV archives, circa 1984, the legendary Bob Bell gets into character as he applies the make-up that turned him into a fun-loving clown. Bob Bell retired in 1984 after 23 years of portraying the character. Backstory with Larry Potash airs Saturday nights at 6:30 on WGN.

Can’t tell you how much joy that man brought me!
You certainly don’t know what you’ve got, until it’s gone.
Thank you Bob.
looks very modern for something from 1984 the way they shot it
RIP thanks for the memories
Always wondered what he really looked like
Amazing putting on all that make up before every show
OMG - can't believe all that work putting on that costume and makeup every day. These people really earned their position as Chicago Celebrities. I watched Bozo every day at lunchtime from school. I would get home about 12:15 - eat lunch and about 20 minutes to 1:00 head back to school. EVERY DAY during the week was like this. We even went to one BOZO Circus Show . The studio seemed small compared to TV. I was actually AFRAID of being picked for the Grand Prize Game. The thought of me being on live television scared the heck out of me.
Thank u Bob
awesome we love you bob bell RIP

Now that awesome, I thought it was going to finish how he get his costume on as well. I grew up watching it on WGN Chicago network years ago in the 80s as a kid. I was born 1976 so as a kid in the 80s I watch it in the morning.

I wonder how he was able to see while putting on his makeup (or do his performance) since he was blind in one eye.
He was only impaired, not fully blind.
He used his other eye.
I never would have thought he’d have such a deep beautiful baritone voice and he was a handsome man… shame he wore that nightmare fuel outfit
Now woman do this everyday
Crusty.
Yes I love Crusty he's so real .
I think he was in the white house before yalls current leader...😮
