I mean he really ought to have his own thread. He was Bozo the Clown, a show I used to watch in syndication at my babysitters, and he created the first Ronald McDonald (although that one wad scary af).
It's a shame he didn't make 100, think if all those birthdays he celebrated and read on the air over the years. He was exceptionally entertaining and weirdly a big part of my childhood. My mom watched Today, every day, as we didn't have cable, and I watched it during my latchkey summers at home. I remember when he became the fulltime Today show weatherman. He was quite the man. RIP Willard
