Clown

The Resume

    (July 8, 1932-January 22, 2001)
    Bozo's Sidekick on the Chicago 'Bozo Show' (1969-94)
    Portrayed Cooky the Cook

Why he might be annoying:

    Apart from being a clown, he worked as a cook at the circus.
    He was a terrible cook.
    He always complained about not getting to lead the Grand March at the end of every 'Bozo Show.'

Why he might not be annoying:

    He graduated the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts.
    The character of Cooky was created after Roy Brown experimented with 60 different clown characters.
    He was usually the one to get a pie in the face from Bozo.
    He did get to lead the Grand March a few times, once due to a write-in campaign by a loyal viewer.
    He was inducted into the Clown Hall of Fame (1993) even before Bozo.
    He suffered from a bad heart condition for a long time, and it eventually ended his life (age 68).
    There were many different Bozos, but only one Cooky.
