2006 or 2007, can't be sure, I met he and a few others from the movie at a shopping mall of all places in Orange Park, FL. I must tell you all they were the nicest group of people. It still is a highlight of my life. I smile every time I recall that day!

He was the epitome of comedy. Today's shows are pure trash. Half of the comedians just scream and curse, the other half have recycled material.

but tv preachers can do it

See you at the olympics

Quebec oui

I was 5 years old when this happened. I do not remember the New Years Day show, although I most likely watched it. I was very upset when the show was not aired. I remember my mother explained it to me with a very big smile.

I saw that when it happened! Love me some Soupy! ❤❤❤

Soupy pulls a Mike Lindell Mr. Pillow decades before he does..

We're not incerly dead ???? Usa

Most insercly dead ???? USA

And she not only most Inverclyde dead ???? Usa

I SAW IT TOO FUNNY

I SAW IT HOW HE ASKED FOR A BUCK GO TO THE MOMS BAG AND TAKE IT MAIL IT LMASO

Did you know - this is true - Soupy grew up in North Carolina where his father owned a dry-goods store. The local KKK used to buy their white sheets from him! He told that story himself !

The coroner is awesome

“I want my dollar back “😂

Best wishes, a beautiful story

Very funny show ahead of its time. Do you remember the, “ what’s the difference between a snowman and a snow woman?” joke? It was on the same show, but no one called him on it. It would have made a great Capital One commercial. Just to have Soupy walk up to the camera at the end of the ad saying, “What’s in your wallet?” 😝

Bill Maher! LoL

The greatest comedian ever born.. I don't care what anyone else says about it.. One of his best was saying that marriage is a 3 ring circus .. the engagement ring, the wedding ring and the suffer ring.. I was drinking coffee when I heard him say that and I ended up snorting it out my nose..

He may have been a comic genius, but I cannot believe he committed a crime of stealing money on New Year’s Day in 1965.

The heckler's line is PRICELESS. Period!

You'll live on forever in the Wizard of Oz, RIP.

This was played at Queen Elizabeth’s wake.

I'm confused ... he was 83 there ? Youngest looking 83-year-old man I've seen . I was 6 when he did this and I was watching it and I remembered feeling kind of antsy about the money because I really wanted to participate . I asked for a dollar from my mom she wanted to know what I wanted it for and I pointed at the TV and she wouldn't let me send it , haha . She was no fool .

he is not funny

RIP Wonderama host Sonny Fox and director Arthur Forrest. Both left us in 2021.

This is a behind-the-scenes footage of the classic American TV show Wonderama (a kid game show that debuted in the mid 50s). 🇺🇲 🇺🇲

We’re all thinking it and he just says it. Also it sounds like “as coroner I thought of her” which would make sense

I remember this episode. It was funny, even as a kid. Other episodes were fun, but he said a few things I didn't get but had my step-dad rolling on the floor. I asked him, "What's so funny, I don't get it?" He said "You'll get it when you get older". He was right.

as a kid i thought he said "as coroner, i massacre"

He was a very nice fellow...., I played guitar on his "MOUSE" record in the 60s and then met him and we chatted at a mutual friend's party in the early 90s. He was in very sad shape after the terrible accident he had.

My mom worked at the Scott Paper Company in the Detroit area.. they had a big Christmas Party for the employees and Soupy was there.. I was 5 and got to do the Soupy Shuffle with Soupy

RIP Soupy - he was the inspiration for Krusty the Klown! Hilarious when the woman shouts, "I want my dollar back!"

I thought he was fired from Wonderama in 1967? I watched the show when I was a kid on Long Island, NY

That MTF was crazy..he used to say dirty jokes we could not understand as kids in the 60s but he was so phukin cool and talked cool we just thought he was Black like AdamClayton Powell.

Hmm hand gesture ?? Did like him as a kid but didnt get his humor then.. that all that was on

Nice

I was only in time for the new Soupy Sales show in 1979. When you are a little kid, this kind of entertainment is hard to find without it being drawn in a factory. He was the best!

Seeing this in Dec 2020...... VERY UPSET that I wasn't at the Brokerage to see Soupy when that video was made. I live in the same town as that club. Damn.

I miss this guy! Unfortunately (or fortunately) I never sent him those “green pieces of paper” and for years I blamed myself for his show being cancelled. 😆

Dear, dear Soupy Sales. Watching Soupy's show is a cherished memory of childhood. There was a real connection between Soupy and his audience of youngsters.

Hey Barry! Long time no etc.... About 10 years ago I found out (don't remember how) we were on the same NYC Kiddie show back in the early 60s: WOR's Funny Company, with Morty Gunty. Just think of all the conversations we coulda had while we were offstage waiting to go on (most likely, at the Brokerage). Ron D.

On "I must aver" he slurs the t in must and makes it hard to understand.

My mom was his caretaker in Jacksonville Florida and he held me as a little baby. I’m now a significant supporting actress in a Swedish movie by the name “pleasure” my name is “Revika Reustle”

I watched this and remember thinking Dad would kill me if I did what he suggested. I think Sales said a postcard from Bermuda, not Puerto Rico. None the less, Soupy's show was a lot of fun.

Excellent quality!!

1:21 Do that.

January 8,2026 will mark Soupy's 100th birthday.
