The last Duane "Uncle Soapy" Thorpe produced ring gag on the Ringling show, the Schoolhouse, here performed by several members of the Red Unit Clown Alley and host, Ben Vereen, on the 115th Edition TV special aired in 1985.
Clowns featured are Jim Arneberg, Paul Wood, Barbara Pike, Kip Reynolds, Jim Vogelgesang, Greg Mooney, Colleen Linnehan, John O'Donnell, Peggy King, and Frankie Theriault.
Major props to Ben Vereen for performing with a broken shoulder (?) from a botched teeterboard segment AND getting firecrackers set off on his butt. Not too many stars of stage and screen would be that game!
