Clown Phobia -
Overton Wakefield Jones (John Henton), the
building superintendent on the sitcom LIVING
SINGLE/FOX/1993-97 had a fear of clowns.

It all started as a child when his mother took
him to Ding-a-Dong Circus. The firefighter clown

digging him out of the aftermath was permanently
burned into his brains.

introducing him to clown related paraphernalia.
When one of them put on a red clown nose,
Overton said pensively, "OK, but don't squeak
it."

clown phobias, here is a
troubled clown seeking help from Dr.
