And, this was the Bob Bell version of Bozo. Best Bozo EVER. He had the best ad libs, and they were often meant only for the parents in the audience. Mr. Bell could mock the shit out of Trump to his face, and Trump would be one of the few who would be oblivious to the mockery. He was that subtle in his humor. I really wish MeTV or one of the other rerun channels would replay that show.
