Talk:Soupy Sales

message: Why hasn't anyone mentioned the time Soupy made a public appearance at an IHOP in West L. A. in 1961 and was hit in the face with a frozen (!) pie by a misguided kid? I was present when that happened (No, I didn't throw it), and I saw it happen! (The quick-witted photographer, hired to take pictures of Soupy with kids, got a shot of him giving my 3-year-old cousin a drink of water while his mother smiles in the background, a picture we still have!) -Dougie monty (talk) 06:23, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

message: There is no mention of Soupy's rendition of Pachalafaka on the main article page (yet).  Even tho' it was written and recorded by Irving Taylor (songwriter), Soupy made it much more famous.

message: i've never heard anyone pronounce his surname, correctly or otherwise. is it just pronounced like you'd expect? tomasz. 13:41, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes ... it is pronounced exactly as you would expect ... as in a traveling sales man ... or the sails on a boat ... Thanks.   (64.252.124.238 (talk) 20:40, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

message: Hi!  I'm new at this.  
I have a 3.5 x 5 photo of Soupy Sales (in his long underwear) which was given to me by my mother.  He is holding a record (LP) with Soupy Hines on it and is standing behind a microphone with WJW on it.  There are also cans of Heinz soup on a table beside him.  It has been inscibed with 'To Shirley  All the best  Soupy Hines'.
Does anyone know how old this is? I was listening to my satellite radio and heard that he had passed away. Sewing gal (talk) 13:52, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

message: Why is the fact that he was Jewish so important that it has to be mentioned twice in the article.  It had nothing to do with his career.Mwinog2777 (talk) 14:45, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

message: So why did he die? I can't seem to find it in the article. Am I missing something? 98.220.41.194 (talk) 16:25, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Almost certainly cancer, but I can't find a reliable source. Lkjhgfdsa 0 (talk) 19:12, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

message: Although Soupy Sales may never have made it through an audition successfully, did he have any friends in the motion picture industry?   216.99.198.61 (talk) 02:47, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

message: Earlier today, an IP address removed the word "Sales" from the title of the Lunch with Soupy Sales show.  But at the time it was airing, the show's title included the full name.  See announcement in Sponsor magazine, listing in Television magazine, listing in the TV Guide and an ad taken out by a television station in Broadcasting magazine.  I'll be restoring the actual title in a few minutes.  NewYorkActuary (talk) 14:58, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

message: Changing the section title to "prank" rather than "pranks" since the original was a prank and the recreation(s) was a bit. Maineartists (talk) 21:40, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

message: The filmography section lists a cameo appearance in Superman III. The only online sources I can find for this information is this article, or websites reposting information from this article, which is always a red flag. Not even the IMDb, which is inclusive to a fault, lists such an appearance. It should probably be removed but I'm willing to give benefit of the doubt if someone has a reliable source to suggest he travelled to Canada or the UK to film a cameo. 70.73.90.119 (talk) 23:24, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
thread_title: Superman III citation needed

message: A well known incident from his 1960s series was when the crew played a prank on Sales by having a topless woman standing just off camera during a skit (a second non-broadcasting camera recorded that angle for posterity). It might be worth mentioning; I don't believe Sales got in trouble for that one (unlike the "green paper" controversy). 2604:3D09:1F74:1C00:8D39:D194:365F:F021 (talk) 06:48, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
