The show was titled Soupy's On. If I was out at a bar at that time, I would always have the bartender turn the channel to 7.
He and the late Rube Weiss ( shouting shorty Hogan ) were hilarious.
He had a great repertoire of "fly in the soup" jokes
He will be missed
Wow, that’s sad. Well, in the words of the late, great White Fang, “Rrr Rrr? Rrrr Rrrr! Rrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!”
He was a really funny guy. RIP
(Hey, Black Tooth, Soupy died)
Black Tooth: Ooooh, eh ooohhh.
(RIP)
RIP. :(
I still remember him asking me (and a million other kids) to go into our parents wallets and send pictures of the presidents to the station addressed to the “send the crew to the bahamas” fund. Some dough arrived without a return address.
He got a suspension. And some pictures of presidents.
We’re getting very close to having no more of the “greats” left.

I enjoyed them all for his experimental push the enveloper spirit.

There’s loads more at YouTube.
Yup, I remember him too. He was funny. Got in trouble though when he told the kids to go into their parents pockets and send him ‘’the green stuff’’(money). I liked ‘’White Fang’’, ‘’Pookie’, the ‘’man at the door’’ sketch and his ‘’Filo Kevetch’’ sthick. R.I.P Soupy.’
