One Last Pie In The Face

Legendary and iconic comedian Soupy Sales, whose greatest claim to fame was as the host of several local and network television kids shows, especially one that aired on local New York TV in the 1960s, passed away Thursday at a hospice in the Bronx, New York at age 83.

Soupy's kids shows can at times, and often did, push the proverbial envelope.
