Exclusive! Soupy Sales Returns To WXYZ, Detroit For A Visit!

Thanks to Barry Mitchell, here is a 1982 video of Soupy returning to where it all started…WXYZ TV in Detroit. Good tales from old timers and some of the tricks they pulled on each other, plus a few pies in the face. Enjoy and share! -Bobby Ellerbee

    I really liked watching him. Sorry that he is no longer with us. “A good day’s work never hurt anybody, and neither did a good day’s rest”. One of Soupy’s words of wisdom.

    I had Lunch every day with Soupy, PB&J and tomato soup. He came to the old Hudson’s, in Lincoln Park Plaza on Fort st. one year in 50’s and my buddy Dennis (the menace) Kilek and I went to see his show and ended up knocking over some of the set. We got chased across the two parking lots until we finally outran the guys chasing us. We lived on New York st.
    He always made me laugh hard and I still do today. Thanks Soupy, I’m sure your cracking them up, in Heaven!
