Let's start with arguably the most famous clown of all-time: Ronald McDonald. Famous for celebrating 100th birthdays on TV, what famed weatherman was the first to portray Ronald?

Willard Scott was a local Washington, D.C. weatherman at the time, and starred in a series of 3 ads featuring "Ronald McDonald, the Hamburger-Happy Clown" in 1963. Willard had already made a name for himself as a clown playing Bozo in the local D.C. market.
