Soupy Sales (January 8, 1926 – October 22, 2009) was an American comedian, actor, radio-television personality, and jazz aficionado. He was best known for his local and network children’s television series, Lunch with Soupy Sales (later titled The Soupy Sales Show) (1953–1966), a series of comedy sketches frequently ending with Sales receiving a pie in the face, which became his trademark. From 1968 to 1975, he was a regular panelist on the syndicated revival of What’s My Line? and appeared on several other TV game shows. In the 1980s, he hosted his show on WNBC in New York City.

Tomorrow, January 9: Nicola Peltz
I just loved Soupy. A true professional. I felt so special
Meeting and speaking with him. I also spoke with him a few times on his radio show.
At one of his live comedy shows on New Jersey he stopped
the show and walked over to my table and told the audience
that he wished he was at the show I was (this was due to
my laughter).
He is missed but the memories will ALWAYS be with me.
