Jojo’s Circus
Jojo's Circus
Annie Award nominated Jojo’s Circus is a preschool musical comedy series on the Disney Channel. The show, about a little girl clown living in Circus Town, is also a ratings and merchandising juggernaut for Playhouse Disney — a favorite of preschoolers and parents. I’m thrilled that I was involved with the show before even “The Beginning.”
I was tapped by Disney Channel to work with my friend Eric Weiner, co-creator of Dora the Explorer and one of the creators of Jojo’s Circus, in fine-tuning the series before first season began. And while I can’t in any way take credit for creating Jojo’s Circus, I will take credit for drinking more Diet Cokes than Eric did during our daily meetings.
By far.
My episodes from the show’s first season:
- “Skeebo’s Missing Hat Trick”
- “The Watchamadoodle” (read the script)
My storybooks (which Disney Channel used to “focus group test” Jojo’s Circus with audiences during development):
- “Banana Split”
- “Flower Shower”
- “Itching for Fun”
- “Take a Bow”
- “Jojo on the Tightrope”
- “Everybody Yell Surprise”
- “Skeebo’s Missing Hat Trick”
Jojo’s Circus can be found on someone’s television, somewhere on the Disney Channel, in the wee hours of the morning, all around the Big Top.
