I am extremely happy to see that they have such a great collection of Red Skelton memorabilia. Red Skelton is my favorite comedian/clown of all time! I am a huge fan of everything he did!not only was he an amazing clown, but he was also an amazing pantomime artist, painter, music composer, and writer. He was an extraordinarily talented man, and one of my Heroes.
Thanks for that great visit. When I worked at Circus World Orlando and my sisters job was to take pics there, for my daughters birthday she took a pic of all the clowns backstage before the big show and had them sign it and put it in a Circus World little sleeve. Still have it too. I think I recognized a couple clowns that worked at Circus World Orlando on those walls. Thanks again, hope to get there one day.
Hi Jordan this was so great seeing my hometown Baraboo featured on your channel. I’m 59 years old and I was born and raised in Baraboo I moved away for 20 years, but I returned in 2007 and live in my parents house 7 minutes from town. You should come back and visit all the haunted houses and Al Ringling theatre is one of those places. Great video and yes I’m proud of being a Member of the Baraboo community it’s a beautiful city. Please come back soon. Happy travels. Barb BarabooWisconsin
That was the most awesome collection of clown memorabilia I've ever seen! Really loved the Red Skelton stuff. Glad to see it so well preserved and respected.
That was great. Still watching and diggin it. Peace, love, and much happiness to you and yours, Jordan we love you and although we don't always comment we want you to know you are such a special guy and are glad you bring us along on your journeys through this great land. Big shoutout from this old, longhaired, hippy dude. in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Be seeing ya on the next. Bless you. Go with God. Later.
I love this! After watching this I realized I am not afraid of clowns....just certain clowns...but not those that are honored here. What a wonderful history of the industry. He was so nice to share all the stories with you. Loved the paintings by Red Skelton. Fun vlog!
Up until about 13 years old I told my parents that I was going to Clown College and would paint clowns in oil paints on canvas. All of my paintings lost in house fire shortly after I married and moved out. I always wanted to go on Bozo-WGN and was convinced I’d win the “Grand Prize Game” throwing the balls into each of 6 pails. Whenever a kid won and they’d wheel out a brand new bicycle I’d go nuts! I grew up 1 hour from Chicago it’s a shame that my Cub Scout group never went as it was most popular to get there as part of a group.
At 21:05 you show a photo and the small whiteface clown is a dear friend of mine, back when he was a kid. He’s in Cirque du Soleil now. Happy to see the museum. Thx.
This is another great vlog you've done. Thanks for your entertaining and informative vlogs. You mentioned in this one that you have been to Emmett Kelly's hometown. Did you video it? I have a picture of him when he was a young child. My grandmother went to school with him and I have a copy of their class picture. I feel it belongs somewhere besides my scrapbook even though it's part of my legacy.
Good morning. Love to wake up with my coffee and your smile. Your videos make my day. Thank you for the wonderful and amazing adventures. Please send Katie and Jah my love. Have Fun. Stay Safe. ❤😊
Hi Jordan & Jah, Thank y'all for some of the best videos of you both. After watching this brought back memories of my ol' day's in the 70's watching "The Bozo Show" on the WGN channel also but in Columbus. Most of all a movie I always loved, It was called "The Greatest Show on Earth" with Jimmy Stewart, Emmett Kelly & Charlton Heston. Jordan, Did you know that Bob Bell also done radio in Cincinnati for WLW Radio, This was the only station that you could listen to the Reds back in the "70's" that's when you had Rose, Bench & Griffey. Bob Bell also had a grandson {Trevor Bell} that played for the Cincinnati Reds until he was injured in 2013. Take Care & ⚾Go Reds⚾
This really took me back to my childhood. I loved Red Skelton, Emmett Kelly and Bozo. They made everyone so happy. I loved how they proved you cpuld do clean comedy. Thank you Jordan.

Baraboo has light side, and a dark side. It's fascinating to me and why i keep going there. Check out it's haunted locations and Dr Evermore's. I hope you took the Merrimac Ferry on the way back south.
Still in Wisconsin? Check out Witch's Tower and Well's Hall in Whitewater. Shaker's south 2'nd street in Milwaukee. A 1890's haunted brothel that gives tours of third floor. The Rave on Wisconsin Avenue is haunted. Third last place Buddy Holly Played. Awesome old building. Across the street from Ambassador Hotel where Dahmer would rent rooms. Phister Hotel has haunted room from lost love. Spooky stuff! Packers/Falcons Sunday! Hope you go to Lambeau's frozen tundra. Go Pack.
You gotta come near me, I’ve been wanting to vlog Somers NY. It would go great in connection to this vlog. Here’s is what Somers is known for from the internet. Somers is known for being the "cradle of the American circus". It gained this notoriety after Hachaliah Bailey bought an African elephant, which he named "Old Bet". Somers was in a minor dispute with Baraboo, Wisconsin, over which community is the "birthplace" of the American circus.
I have 2 stories for you. When I was very young, we lived in Maryland, and my Daddy was in the Army. We moved to Florida when he retired. I was 6. I got to meet the first Ronald McDonald.(Willard Scott) When I was 5, I had my tonsils out and had to stay in the hospital overnight. My mother was beside herself because I had never stayed away from her overnight before. She was there to pick me up bright and early. I refused to leave because Bozo was on TV!
Jordon this was so interesting and alot of information on the schools teachings and how they picked the ones that would make good clowns i loved when he showed you the shoes and then the one you could see how it was made and made only to fit your foot because i always wondered how they walked in them and if they were comfortable thank you so much really enjoyed this and learned alot comfortable
I was a huge Bozo fan when I was a kid. My favourite toy to this day was my Bozo the clown doll. He had a ripcord on his back and when you pulled it, he said different phrases. I regret that I didn’t keep it. I have seen a few the same as mine for sale but the posting fee to Australia is crazy. Thanks Jordan. ❤️Jodie🇦🇺
