    In 1965, as a student at Hunter College in NYC, WNEW was a only a few blocks away. When we heard about Soupy's show being taken off the air, about 100 of us left the Student Union and walked over to the WNEW Studio. We walked back and forth,, chanting "Bring Back Soupy." This was about January 3, 1965. Donna Duckworth, Soupy's public relations agent came out of the studio and thanked us all for our support and told us that Soupy was so grateful for showing him and the FCC how much we cared for him. What the video did not mention was why Soupy was yanked. On January 1, 1965, New Years Day, Soupy asked his TV audience if their parents were still sleeping. Remember this was after New Years Eve. He said, "if your parents are still sleeping after the New Years Eve party, to go into their bedroom, look thru dad's wallet and mom's purse and send him any pictures they had of George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Andrew Jackson, etc. and mail them to Soupy Sales in care of WNEW, NY, NY and Soupy would send them a post card from Puerto Rico. Well according to what we heard, he received approx. $300 US Dollars along with thousands of Monopoly Dollars. By the next week, Soupy was back on the air. All of us Students again went to the studio to celebrate!!!! Little did we know that when we arrived, Miss Duckworth came out to the street and invited us all into the sound studio, overlooking the studio set. We got to watch, live, in person Soupy, Frank Nastasi and the others on the set. After the show, Soupy met with all of us in the Lobby of WNEW. I had the distinct honor of doing the Soupy Shuffle with SOUPY Sales!!!!!!! Now get this...………..about 30 of us college students escorted Soupy to his 69th St(?) apartment building. He thanked us all and we departed as he turned and went into his building. What a guy!!
    Twelve years later, while living in Phoenix Arizona, I learned that Soupy was going to be doing a show at the Phoenix Playboy Club. Of course I had to go. The room was packed!! Soupy had us all in stiches. People were holding their sides laughing and almost rolling on the floor. What impressed us all was that during the two hour show, Soupy NEVER uttered one FOUR LETTER WORD. Now that is something you can't say about most of todays comics.
    I stopped, shook hands with the man and told him about what we did at the WNEW studio, showed him my autographed Soupy Sales Fan Club card. We did a little bit of the Soupy Shuffle and thanked him for being a such a great comic. RIP Soupy, May Your Memory be ETERNAL

    Thanks so much MM. I have always felt that Soupy is so much funnier than Jerry L.

    I grew up as a kid watching Soupy Sales out of Detroit back in the late 50's. I've always love slapstick and corny jokes and he was the king of that on tv. I still laugh at his jokes and I'll be 66 soon. There will never be another like him.

    I was lucky enough to have met him in the mid-60's. I was in the Big Brothers program (Columbus OH) and my Big Brother took me to a Christmas show Soupy did for all of us, and I don't know how, but I met Soupy backstage after the show. He was wonderful and amazingly funny - I think I was 8 or 9 years old..and remember it to this day....

    Thanks for putting this up MM. I've been after the DVD copy for years. Good to see again, as he really was revolutionary in his stamina and inventiveness. One of a kind for sure!

      Me too. Grew up in Wyandotte. In the 90s I caught Soupy's nightclub act out her at the Belly Up Tavern, in Solana Beach. Soupy killed.
      No mention here of Willie the Worm, which would have broken Willie's little heart. The fact they gave him a trailer with a star on the door meant so much to him. Alas, fame was fleeting for Willie the Worm.

    He was an original. Like Jerry Lewis, none others around like them. Love you Soupy!

    The Greatest! One summer he went out to Pine Lake and looked for a place to rent. This was in Michigan near Orchard Lake. Soapy was so real.

    Our friend, a sound engineer at ABC, got us into the studio for a taping of the New Year's Eve 1961 show in Hollywood. I was 12 years old. It was a thrill.

    Why did Biography fail to mention his long running stint on What's My Line?

      And he was the one on the panel who in 1971 identified Frank Zappa.

    I remember when soupy was on the radio, Howard Stern followed. Every day Howard would complain about the piano; he would place the piano in the hall ,only to find it back in. So one time he cut the strings.
