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 ever appear on the show. Born, Michael Bruce Davis on August 23rd, 1953 to James Allen Davis, an English teacher and Donna Ruth Brewer, a homemaker, Michael spent his early childhood growing up in San Francisco, CA. His parents determined that the mean streets of San Francisco might be more than Michael could handle. So they moved out to the country in Susanville, CA. 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, CA, just outside San Francisco. Michael attended Monte Vista High School graduating in 1971. On October 1, 1973, Michael started a six week course at the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus Clown College. Over 3500 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. Michael was chosen to be a Ringling Clown based on his distinctive deadpan style.
