Over the course of his life, he's assembled enough Bozo the Clown memorabilia, merchandise, costumes, and props to fill a big top. A historian who's also written a volume on the beloved clown's history, Tommy shares his enthusiasm, expertise, and sheer love of the character with Lisa, and shows off such treasures as a colorful but fragile Bozo spin-a-wheel, the one-of-a-kind costume of Boston's legendary Bozo, and a vintage makeup kit with instruction booklet designed especially for Bozo portrayers. Lisa's also invited longtime Collector's Call appraiser -- and one-time "Bozo's Circus" audience member. -- Kate Martin to place a value on Tommy's joyful collection, and to tempt him with a trade: one of his prized possessions for a Bozo artifact she's brought along. And if you think there's a round of the Grand Prize Game factoring into all this -- you're absolutely right. All this -- plus a special shout-out to Tommy from Bozo's new owner, David Arquette.
