WHIZZO BACKS RIZZO!!!

A local TV legend has thrown his reputation and iconic support behind a Kansas City political stalwart currently in the midst of a career renaissance. 

For those who don't remember . . .

"Frank Wiziarde began his television career in 1953 in Kansas City, Missouri, working for KMBC-TV. The station wanted to produce a children's program, and Wiziarde came up with the idea for Whizzo, based on his experience performing as a clown for his parents' circus acts. His show went on the air in 1954. He switched stations several times going to KCMO-TV in Kansas City and then WIBW-TV in Topeka, but kept his character of Whizzo the Clown."

"Whizzo's last show was on May 20, 1987."

And now . . .

Despite rumors of his death, the local entertainment legend is in surprisingly good health as he resides in the Westside Posada Del Sol retirement community with the help of a part-time nurse. 

About the current council campaign, Mr. Wiziarde said . . . 

"I spent my career entertaining people but the one thing I take seriously is public safety. I believe Henry Rizzo has the right approach for supporting Kansas City's priorities. I trust that he'll bring us 'Back To Basics' and put our great city on the right track."
