Bozo's nickname comes from his appearance; his bushy, curly red hair and bald spot lends him an uncanny resemblance to the TV clown.

In September 2006, it was announced that Bozo was to co-host a radio show on [[WBCQ]] called "Fix Your Radio." However, just prior to the show's initial (and as it would turn out, only) broadcast, co-host [[Fred Jodry]] announced that Bozo had "dropped out" of the show after directing some comments of a personal nature Fred's way. During the radio broadcast, Bozo repeatedly attempted to break into the telephone line Fred was using to feed the show to WBCQ, but to no avail. Sound bytes from this episode ended up in the pirate community rather quickly and became the inspiration for [[Voice of Bozo]] and other pirate radio shows including [[CBZO]], [[KBZO]], [[WBZO]], and [[Bozo Radio]]. | In September 2006, it was announced that Bozo was to co-host a radio show on [[WBCQ]] called "Fix Your Radio."

Bozo (born Jay Smilkstein) is a well known personality who frequently calls the Allan Weiner show on WBCQ. Bozo engages Weiner in strange conversation, superficially on the topic of radios, but often amounting to nothing more than guttural groans and grunts. Despite this, Weiner continues to enthusiastically welcome Bozo's persistent calls. These calls are often recorded by pirate operators, and become material for their own shows.
Bozo's nickname comes from his appearance; his bushy, curly red hair and bald spot lends him an uncanny resemblance to the TV clown. He is usually disheveled and unkempt.
Bozo is known to make appearances at the yearly Winterfest, where he engages unsuspecting attendees in conversation. Encounters with Bozo at the Winterfest are usually shocking to uninitiated hotel guests. Bozo believes that where smoking is permitted, people should be allowed to smoke pot.
Bozo's outrageous behavior is exploited pirate radio operators, who further the legend with audio and video[1] commentaries.

During the radio broadcast, Bozo repeatedly attempted to break into the telephone line Fred was using to feed the show to WBCQ, but to no avail.
