recall Soupy Sales Show and Shari Lewis Show.
Yes! His afternoon "kids" show was a blast. I think the guys working on the show had a better time than those watching. (And we were always laughing our pies off) I think that is the first time I can remember hearing a shows crew laughing so much on the air during the show.

R.I.P.
Here's one of my all time favorite clips from his show. Soupy almost loses it. :biggrin:
Warning! NSFW!!! Frontal nudity. (How did they get away with that?!?)

Wow - I haven't thought about him in years. I used to watch him after school here in NYC...
RIP, Soupy

White Fang, Black Tooth, Pookey and Hipppy - wonder whatever happened to them? Actually saw him several times in Ocean City, NJ at the annual Doo-Dah Parade. He was Grand Marshall one year.
He always made me laugh and I'm gonna miss him.

he'll still show up for a long, long time on GSN game show reruns from the 60's & 70's... just saw him while flipping through channels a couple of weeks ago, and wondered what happened to him... sadly, now we know...
