Soupy Sales, the famous kids' TV show host who made fashionable getting hit in the face with shaving pies, passed away at the age of 83 from multiple illnesses.

For the past few years, Soupy had been a regular guest and special friend of the annual DooDah Parade in Ocean City NJ where myself and dozens of other performers have been appearing, and we were all proud to have been inspired by him. I have had the pleasure and honor of interviewing Soupy twice on my TV show at Joe Franklin's Comedy Club here in New York. He will surely be missed by many.

We should all throw a pie in his memory.

people in the Detroit area are taking it hard. I believe WXYZ TV7 (ABC) will be having a marathon of the Soupy Sales show. RIP!
