Pagliacci

Damn, who knew that being a circus sad clown required such a commitment to being sad and tragic? That must be how they weed out the amateurs.

Pretty sad, indeed.

Understandably, the first sad clown I thought of was Emmett Kelly. There's very little video of his performances.

It seemed unusual and affecting to me.

The studio audience had a huge reaction to seeing Kelly come out in his Weary Willy costume. That helped the panelist out, although she was clever too.
