Sad news for any fans of Bozo on WGN TV's various Bozo shows, that Marshall Brodien that played Wizzo the Wizard, and would make sometimes guests appearances as himself where he would do magic tricks, and even show tv magic cards, he past away early Friday morning. Here is the report for WGN Tv's website that will Bozo aired from their studios for close to 40 years https://wgntv.com/2019/03/08/marsha...GGyKUAgvNK4Uf9DK8HyKpnDjPGGuykaCsk6WLx075patc . Bozo broadcasted from the WGN TV studios live and then later on on tape delay from the WGN TV studios, the first almost 2 decades it would be live with who knows how many taped repeats. Marshall Brodien played Wizzo for 26 years, and he would have bene the last surviving cast member that would have appeared in the 1960's and 1970's. He played the role from 1968 to 1994, when he retired, and in 2007 was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease. And he lived at home until he got put into care.
