Bozo the Clown Talk Radio Interview - Dean Kaner, Humor Times

Wherein our intrepid talk radio show host interviews Bozo the Clown.

ANNOUNCER

Live from under a rock in your backyard, it’s The Jerry Duncan Show.

JERRY DUNCAN

Good morning listeners nationwide. Is it a good morning? We’ll soon find out. Today on the show my guest is Bozo the Clown.

JERRY

Good morning, Bozo.

BOZO THE CLOWN

Hello Larry.

JERRY

It’s Jerry, Chucklehead. Keep talking. You may say something unintelligent.

BOZO

1 and 1 is 4.

JERRY

Bingo. You beat expectations.

JERRY

What made you decide to become a clown?

BOZO

High school. I was always clowning around. The principal warned the student body not to be a Bozo. That’s how I got the name Bozo the clown. After the insult, I dropped out of school.

JERRY

I heard you enrolled in clown school.

BOZO

Yep. I learned character, farce, satire, and improvisation. For instance, how to tell jokes, squirt water in people’s faces, juggle, mime, and put on face makeup so I look like singer Barry Manilow.

JERRY

Frightening.

BOZO

Clown school changed my life. It’s where I met my wife Giggles. She was the class clown.

JERRY

Nice.

BOZO

On our first date, we honked horns and threw pies at each other. ‘Twas love at first sight.

JERRY

A couple of Nobel Prize winners. What about after clown school?

BOZO

Giggles and I traveled the world with the circus. There’s always drama. Not every country likes clowns, Jerry. We only felt safe in Africa, because cannibals say clowns taste funny. In Sweden, I fell on the ice and broke my funny bone. In DC, Giggles was almost killed.

JERRY

What happened?

BOZO

She was fighting with Ronald McDonald near an intersection. The driver of a clown car ran a red light hitting another clown car. Turns out 80 MAGA Republicans were hospitalized. The driver at fault was Congressman Jim Jordan.

JERRY

No surprise. Had he been drinking?

BOZO

Yep. Too much Vodka. So much Vodka that when police arrested Jordan, he spoke with a Russian accent.

JERRY

You are the most popular clown in America.

BOZO

Wrong. It’s Donald Trump. Proving White trash isn’t just Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

JERRY

Still. What a career. You started in television. Had a hit show Bozo’s Big Top which was franchised in stations across the states. Your red hair and nose made you a hero to millions of disturbed children.

BOZO

It’s a fact, man. The Republicans credit me for their party motto, “Elect a clown, expect a circus.”

JERRY

Hey, Bozo. What do you call a blonde whose hair is dyed red?

BOZO

Don’t know.

JERRY

Artificial intelligence.

JERRY

Bozo the clown everyone. See you tomorrow.
