SOUPY SALES/Come Pie With Me

[bigbearphx]

I too was part of the regular "gang" at the WNEW studios on E 67 St, waiting to get in to the taping of the show. I was in HS at the time, and also got to accompany the presidents of his fan club (two girls from CA) to Soupy's home, and also to that of Frank Nastasi (who was White Fang, Pookie and all of the guys at the door). Great memories, of a great entertainer! The world misses you, Soupy ...

[beggin1967]

thank you,barry,for this wonderful tribute to soupy.he was 1 of a kind and not replaceable. steve

[rty1955]

I will fondly remember Milton aka Soupy. I used to be in the studios in NY many times when the show was aired. I stood about 10' feet from him when he did the shows. He came to the house a few times for a backyard BBQ my family used to have each year. So he was like family to me.

[deenibeeni]

I do the Soupy Sales Shuffle every day!

[dressshoeguy]

That was a funny video. Soupy will be bringing the laughs in heaven for sure. Custard pie anyone?

[billmills]

Brilliantly clever lyrics. A sweet tribute indeed. Another of Soupy's old "gang" thanks you for sharing this wonderful song and video.

[TheBeatlesApple]

Rip Soupy, We ALL loved you and Pookie, White Fang and Black Tooth. Wonderful song Barry and video.

[Susan8115]

The world is a better place for having you, Soupy.

Thanks for all the giggles!

[Susan8115]

Love it!!!

[1Th1617]

How sweet and funny!! Rather like Soupy.

[shanejensen]

Miss you, Soupy.

[cornelius40]

He was soo good, and was such a natural comedian. I loved him to pieces, always loved it when he did the mouse. Mr Dressup (Ernie Combs) was such a phoney compared to Soupy.

[rocksinger45]

I understand that someone has left a pie at Soupy Sales star on Hollywood Blvd.... We Love you and Rest In Peace Soupy !!

[TheGoodCrop]

I saw Soupy in person at his Paramount Easter Rock and Roll Show. I saw him in person at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, I was there opening night of his Broadway show "Come Live With Me". Watched him do his WNEW-TV show in person. I was in the audience for one of his "What's My Line" shows and I shook his hand at a Hollywood Memorabilia event.

Think I was a fan? Miss you Soup.

[ThreeSquawkingGeese]

Wonderful tribute to a TV pioneer. My memories of Soupy Sales are vivid and precious.

[peeterpoon]

We are sitting shvia for you, Milton Supman!

[lisarco100]

What a great tribute!

We're gonna' miss you~

You gave me lots of laughs in my youth and you added joy to What's My Line and other game shows that you appeared on!

[Warmth238]

You sing like Jerry Lewis. But I admire your effort. Our whole house was filled with Soupy fanatics. Even my Mother, who when The Mask was finally unmasked by Philo Kvetch, yelled,"Krushchev!" I was 8 years old, I said "Who?"

[Warmth238]

I actually remember watching one day when he was at the window with Pookie and one of his caps fell out on the floor. With his back to the camera he picked it up and replaced it in his mouth. Live TV Baby!

[jasperklks]

if the yankees win tonite would love to see the pie recipient lead 50,000 people in singing the mouse.

[lakeerielady443]

I was always there for lunch with Soupy! You'll be sadly missed down here Soup!

[astronutspa]

Barry funny Barry funny. I think you sing fabulous and I love the tribute to Soupy.

[susiq909]

Loving all the Soupy videos. This is why our generation loved Soupy. Hope they are released on DVD - in memory of Soupy.

[Orsley]

I visited Soupy's studio at WNEW in NYC in 1966 and at KTLA in LA in '78 because I was a huge fan. He was incredibly gracious and kind both times I met him, even though he was in the middle of doing his show. As a kid in '66 I was just in awe of him, the puppets, cameras & lights, but in '78 I could appreciate how hard he worked, how he ran the show, attending to details of production, camera angles, etc. A great guy, an unforgettable show! Thanks for the video, which brings back great memories.

[pattiecake11]

Yes! I was at channel 5, many summer

afternoons, waiting to be picked to be in the studio, or maybe up in The Booth"

watching the show live. Imagine "entertainers" trying to work live on tv today? That's what made Soupy so wonderful. Alway fulled with surprises, and nothing phoney about him. And yes, he was always gracious and kind!

Soupy, I miss you!

[ringadingtime]

Thanks ,brings back childhood tv memories....RIP Soupy

[westentrance]

R.I.P. Soupy. Thanks for all the good times and great memories.

[Parspatou]

WOW!! I remember drinking my glass of milk along with Snoopy!!

THANKS 4 the memories!!

(I like your singing BTW!!)

[pattiecake11]

Soupy, You will be missed. You will always be loved. Thanks for all the fun times!

[marydnyc123]

I too found this after hearing about Soup's passing.  I enjoyed it so much I posted it on my profile on Facebook. I think everybody should post it today in memory of soupy (in my humble opinion) + i think i will continue to play this song today. It's very upbeat and cheery. Plus I really need to give Bono a break. I've been overdosing on Bono/U2~ Thanks and again, everybody keep playing and dancin' to 'Come Pie With Me' in memory of Soupy (RIP).

[narutonakamura]

Is it just me, or does anyone else find a strong resemblance between Soupy Sales and Mel Gibson!!!?? I never saw this comedian until today so I can only comment from what I saw in this video.. even when he laughs!! Insane! Seems like a good guy though, so RIP

[BeatleUniversity]

Is Jerry Lewis singing this song?

[barryfunnytv]

LOL, no it's me. And yes, I'm aware I'm no singer.

[buggz54]

i'm another b boomer that grew up watching Soupy. Your video is so great! Let's all do the Mouse and go Pie someone in Soupy's memory. Love ya Soupy!!!!

[rakkav]

@barryfunnytv : yes you are. :)

[joeamcdaniel]

Thanks for creating this tribute to Soupy.

I really enjoyed it.

[blinkoff42]

What a great piece of video that you put together!!! I watched this just after I heard about Soupy's death.

It's a darn shame to lose such a classic comedic talent. I saw a few clips growing up as a kid.

I'm sure there's a WHOLE table full of pies just waiting for him up in heaven - not to mention a bunch of celebs lined up to greet him.....

Thanks for the tribute.

[sirdavewave456]

[bigtool66]

Is that Frank Sinatra get a pie in the face about 15 seconds into the video??

[barryfunnytv]

It sure is!

[keithwhitmer]

Does anybody know if there is video of the "fizz-nik" commercials?

[stansrailpix]

OUTSTANDING !!!!!

[rubydartz]

What a nice montage and great lyric choice. I think it's Soupy's 83rd birthday today. Happy Birthday Soupy.

[ranran19701]

[barryot]

Very well done! I loved this tribute to Soupy

[ftsjr]

A wonderful tribute to a very funny entertainer.

[pugeyed]

Damn fine Frank Sinatra tribute, too!

[143AC]

Hey!  A great Musical tribute to one of kids tv's

most beloved clowns! Thanks Mr.Mitchell for this tribute to Soupy!

[143AC]

The little boy in Soupy's arms..must be his

son Tony in that color home movie footage

fron his Detroit,tv years.

[Gazzara5]

He later appeared on The Mike Douglas Show and had a tremendous pie fight with Mike and none else but Moe (The Three Stooges) Howard. It was the greatest pie fight in the history of slapstick comedy between the two greatest living pie fighters of the day.

[spankatore]

Thanks, Barry!

[maidenlover12]

Soupy Sales had the best pies, loved that show.
