This was one of the cornier assignments I ever got. Larry Harmon was the man behind Bozo the Clown and had sent out a press release announcing that Bozo was turning 50. ABC News had an overnight news program that was probably viewed mainly by insomniacs and prison inmates and the show liked to do oddball stuff. So, off I went to interview Harmon about Bozo turning 50 who made producing the story immeasurably easier by handing me a full box of video tapes that contained "best of Bozo" footage through the years. Also in the box was a Bozo history and when I read it after I returned to my office after the interview I realized that in fact Bozo wasn't turning 50 at all. So, I called Harmon and said, "Larry, according to your own timeline Bozo is only 48 this year." There was a pause on the other side of the phone and then a one word response, "So?"... I didn't question the discrepancy any further.
