Original Pie Comedian, Soupy Sales, Dies At 83

The original anarchic comedy hero for teenagers and college students, Soupy Sales, died Thursday in a hospice in New York City after suffering from multiple health problems. He was 83. Soupy, one of the only known men to have splattered a pie in Fank Sinatra's face and take more than 20,000 cream-fille tins to his own, won over TV audiences young and old, but mostly young, in the 1950s and '60s.

     

There's nothing more fun and satisfying than throwing a pie at someone, and today plenty of people got to do just that outside of ABC Studios on the Upper West Side as they participated in tossing pies for the World’s Largest Pie Fight. This all went down during filming for “Live with Regis & Kelly.”, where participants attempted to break a new record in the Guinness World Records book. Did they succeed? Did any passerby get creamed? So many questions!
