Scott McKenzie knows what it means to be a clown. He personally knew Larry Harmon, the world’s most famous clown—Bozo the Clown—and helped him write his life’s story.
His book, The Man Behind The Nose: Larry “Bozo” Harmon, tells the story of a genuine and caring person who related to generations of children because he may be the only adult who really understood them.
Long before there was a Big Bird on Sesame Street or a Dora the Explorer, there was Bozo the Clown. He had over 200 million TV viewers in 183 markets around the globe. There was a 10-year wait for tickets to the Bozo Show.
Bozo spawned other famous clowns such as Ronald McDonald and Krusty the Clown.
