The sad news came down this week: Blinky is gone. Russell Scott, aka Blinky the Clown, spent more than three decades on Denver TV, where he hosted Blinky’s Fun Club, a Channel 2 kiddie program, for 33 years — until the plug was pulled in 1998.
Blinky died Monday at the age of 91, but left behind many, many memories.
Says Joshua:
