I have honestly never heard this story. I thought i had heard all of Stephen's typical interview stories he tells. This was new. Thanks for posting that.
Oh good, I figured there was a chance many had seen it air, but...anyway, the way he describes parents taking their kids to see the circus clowns is super funny because it's so true.

Uh oh,they are saying the clown sighting are going viral,everyone watch out! Of course I don't think that even with the thousands of sightings now,one person has been kidnapped or harmed,but you never know..so watch out,especially with Halloween approaching!Seriously,these kinds of crazes are nuts..monkey see,monkey do,I guess..

This clown trend has to end, before it gets critical. Clowns terrorizing kids at bus stops, clowns popping out of bushes, breaking into houses. Supposedly a clown was shot here in Indiana the other day--we don't dig clowns here. Bad enough the crap that is going on in this country, without a potential clown/normal war looming on the horizon. Next thing you know, Uncle Stevie is gonna pull It out of print like he did Rage. If that happens I'll kill anything wearing greasepaint.

...the phenomena is here in the shadow of Appalachia too...and somebody is going to get badly hurt or killed for their stupidity...people have taken to arming themselves and carrying Mace and stun guns.....
The funny thing is,i have seen estimates that ninety percent,or more,are all made up,kids scaring each other..which is not hard to believe.Remember a couple years ago,the Tall Man craze,where everyone was afraid and reports all over,and it was all BS..I stick to my original theory,that most people are not really afraid of clowns,but joining in to the hysteria and fitting in,as it were..what is a clown like these anyways,but a dumbass trying to get a rise out of people..if more people started giving them the finger instead of acting scared,or ignoring them totally,they would go away.What is really scary is the number of people on social media ready,willing and able to kill the "clowns"..for just standing around and looking stupid.Those people are the ones that really scare me,I guess if they end up in jail for shooting some idiot standing around in a clown suit and big shoes,they will feel vindicated..how odd..
Like the Twilight Zone,The Monsters are due on Maple Street..

Aye, you say true. Besides, it's the dang SERPENT PEOPLE we need to worry about.

Ka nama kaa, yadda yadda.

That would scare the crap out of me if some freaky clown came out of the woods at random. If my son was with me, I'm not sure said clown would like my reaction, hilarity would NOT ensue...
I understand what you are saying ghost,I just think the vast majority of these are false..and the rest are retards trying to get a rise out of people..certainly not worth shooting someone,or doing twenty five in the crowbar hotel over..

I'm sure a majority of them are false reports but there are always that small percentage of morons who have to go out and show they are willing to risk their lives to get a good laugh. It's the same crowd who leans off of high rises and tall bridges to get good selfies. The "Darwin Awards" crowd in other words....I'm sure you've seen many members of that crowd sir.

yessir..and you too..always someone wants to push the envelope..usually don't have a problem with it,except when it turns into a huge assache for the general public..which is what this clown craze is doing..
