I don't recall seeing his show much at the time - I was always aware of him, though. Somewhere I have a disk or tape with some outtakes from his show - that they would never have dared broadcast - that were hysterically funny,
If you live in the UK, you may not understand the phenomenon that was Soupy Sales - unless you're like me and grew up in Scotland or the North of England in the 60's, 70's and 80's, in which case the name "Glen Michael" will give you the right sort of idea...
I knew him first and best from TV game shows in the '70s.
Likewise. His heyday as a kid's show host was long over by the time I ever saw him, but he was on TV practically every day on the likes of Match Game and Hollywood Squares and such, as well a guest starring on things like the Harlem Globetrotters specials.
Soupy Sales was one of those guys who just seemed to be having immense fun every waking moment of every day.
