hi
Emmett Kelly (Jr) brought clowning into the mainstream. His "character" was the sad hobo. His signature act was the sweeping up a spotlight into a smaller and smaller spot until it went out completely.
While there may have been sad clowns before Kelly, he will be recognized as the most famous. His act helped to elevate clowning in the same way that Marcel Marceau, and his character Pip, help bring mime into the mainstream.
