Joey D'Auria (born May 18, 1952) is an actor and a voice actor who is best known for his role of WGN-TV Chicago's Bozo the Clown from 1984-2001. D'Auria was hired after a long search for the next Bozo in part because his improvisational skills were very good. D'Auria also blended well with Roy Brown, who knew right away that D'Auria would be a hit after telling him he had broken his arm in three places, D'Auria responded with "Then don't go in those three places!" D'Auria played Bozo until the show's cancellation in 2001.
