He was just called the Town Clown.
There was no Mr. Fred on Captain Kangaroo.There were only three characters named Mr. anything:Mr. Baxter, played by actor James E. Wall - seen from 1974-1981.Mr. Green Jeans, played by actor Hugh Brannum - seen from 1955-1984.Mr. Moose, portrayed by puppeteer Cosmo Allegretti - seen from 1976-1981.This is not exactly true. There was a blobby cartoon guy on a screen that the Captain would talk to and his name was Fred.
He is a fictional character played by the now deceased actor ( for lack of a better name- Bob Keeshan).

No, Ozzy Osbourne is not Captain Kangaroo's son. Ozzy Osbourne is a British singer and songwriter known for his role in the heavy metal band Black Sabbath, while Captain Kangaroo, whose real name was Bob Keeshan, was an American television personality and the host of the children's show "Captain Kangaroo." There is no familial relationship between the two.
Robert Keeshan, from the start. He wanted an intelligent male role model ( actually two with the agrarian sidekick Mr. Green Jeans- two different actors) as he felt there were too many feminine types in the kidvid arena at the time- not entirely substantiated. Unfortunately Captain Kangaroo did use cartoons- and reguarily ran a number of them such as Tom Terrific- look up under that name. They did not dominate the program, but he did turn to them at times.
