Bonomo the Magic Clown - A clever magician known as Zovella starred in a 15-minute "fill-in" series for children called THE MAGIC CLOWN/NBC/1949-54. The program, sponsored by Bonomo Candies, was set amidst a circus backdrop filled with games, songs, puppets, magic and, of course, lots of free Bonomo Turkish Taffy candy courtesy of the sponsor. Children from the audience assisted Zovella with his magical tricks. Richard DuBois assumed the role of "Bonomo the Magic Clown" in 1952.
