Notable works and roles: Lunch with Soupy Sales

Milton Supman (January 8, 1926 – October 22, 2009), known professionally as Soupy Sales, was an American comedian, actor, radio/television personality, and jazz aficionado. He was best known for his local and network children's television show Lunch with Soupy Sales (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. During the 1980s, Sales hosted his own show on WNBC-AM in New York City.

We all need a pie in the face sometimes to bring us back to earth from our "pie in the sky" ambitions! Members of the rat pack get theirs in this funny skit!

In fact, my child development largely consisted of Soupy Sales, Three Stooges reruns and the Ghoul.
