Frazier Thomas
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
William Frazier Thomas (June 13, 1918, Rushville, Indiana - April 3, 1985, Chicago, Illinois) was an American television personality.
He was best known for having hosted the long-running children's television program Garfield Goose and Friends on WGN-TV. He also hosted various radio and television programs in a long career that spanned from before World War II until his death.
He hosted Family Classics and took over as circus manager on Bozo's Circus after the retirement of ringmaster Ned Locke, both shows on WGN.
The portly Thomas, whom WGN's original Bozo (Bob Bell) referred to as "Fat, Friendly Fraze" (which Thomas had originally called himself, in his Garfield Goose days), died from a stroke, aged 66.
