Michael Davis (juggler)
Michael Davis is a comedic American juggler. He came to nationwide attention in the early 1980s, appearing on NBC's Saturday Night Live six times, the only professional juggler to perform juggling on the show.
Early Life
Born Michael Bruce Davis on August 23, 1953, to James Allen Davis, an English teacher and Donna Ruth Brewer, a homemaker, Davis spent his early childhood growing up in San Francisco. His parents determined that the mean streets of San Francisco might be more than Davis could handle. So they moved out to the country in Susanville, California. After a few years in Susanville, they decided country life might be a little too quiet so they moved to the quaint town of Danville, just outside San Francisco. Davis attended Monte Vista High School, graduating in 1971.
Clown College
On October 1, 1973, Davis started a six week course at the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Clown College. Over 3,500 applicants were whittled down to a group of 38 men and 7 women ranging in age from 17 to 35. Upon completion, successful candidates were offered a contract with the circus. Davis was chosen to be a Ringling clown based on his distinctive deadpan style. He travelled with the red unit for a year. The following year, Davis signed on with the Gatti Charles Circus.
Michael Davis (Australian footballer)
Michael Davis (born 19 January 1961) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Essendon and the Sydney Swans in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
