Who took the blue man in despite his bizarre look?

The carnival took the Blue Man in because of the way he looked.

"I found a saloon, a dark place where I could hide beneath a hat and coat. One night, a group of carnival men were in the back. They smoked cigars. They laughed. One of them, a rather small fellow with a wooden leg, kept looking at me. Finally, he approached. "By the end of the night, I had agreed to join their carnival. And my life as a commodity had begun."
