Soupy Sales Show~Frank Sinatra Pied

[@thomaschavers]

A 1000 pardons. 2 more than my uncle got. HILARIOUS!

[@detroitjack0325]

I can't stop laughing hilariously at this Soupy Sales episode with Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr., even though I've viewed it at least a dozen times! The "kid" in this episode was played by Frank Natasi who did a number of behind the scenes as well in front of the camera skits on Soupy's 1965-1966 show. Natasi did Pookie as well as White Fang, Black Tooth and the guy at the door. Soupy's crew with their hilarious laughs, made this pie throwing scene even funnier!

[@annangel4828]

WOW! How the heck did you know that? Very impressive, indeed! Here's a little fun fact: Soupy's sons played with Bowie. (Somehow I'm thinking that this is old news to you.)

[@chasbodaniels1744]

Sons Hunt and Tony Sales backed Todd Rundgren early in his career.

[@tonyseel12]

Soupy tells the story that Sinatra's daughter told Soup that his father loved the Soupy Sales Show. Soupy asked Frank to be on the show and Frank said he would come on the show on the condition that Soupy hit him in the face with a pie. A hilarious skit.

[@dougmontgomery1868]

Note that of the trio at the table, Sammy Davis Jr. was the first to get a pie!

[@edwardtracey6143]

In Soupy's memoirs, he said Frank asked for two stipulations (which made his heart sink). #1 - to be able to sing a song ("I think we can arrange that") and as you note: to be pied.

[@nainoamolitor1188]

soupy sales to this day is damn funny as hell

[@arlenroth8373]

I met Soupy many years after this, and cracked him up when I told him about Trini calling Sinatra his "leader!" What a joy to make Soupy laugh!!

[@blackcatsandpoppies]

The sound effects guy does a great job of "bang" when the pies hit. 😅

[@AudioTech50]

Sinatra was on the show more than once with a variation of the salad gag. I remember seeing a much less elaborate show-opening restaurant skit with a guy ordering a salad. Soupy (as the waiter) asked, "Do you want an Italian dressing with that?" and when the patron said yes, Sinatra walked into the frame while putting on a jacket. That gag may have been on an earlier show than this scene.

Only Sales could get away with 'disrespecting' the Chairman ha

[@geewhizz1970]

Frank Sinatra is a draft Dodger. 😎

[@BuckieBear]

Frank enjoyed it.

[@eribelle753]

Clearly you've never heard of a comedian named Don Rickles! xD That man made a career of disrespecting Frank and people loved it because everyone from celebs to fans knew that was something you didn't do and get away with it! lo

[@biffalobull2335]

@@eribelle753 True but Rickles generally opened his shtick with worship of Sinatra And he never pied him!

[@arlenroth8373]

William B. Williams is the guy with the glasses...great disc jockey who nicknamed Sinatra "the Chairman of the Board"!

[@chasbodaniels1744]

Mr. Williams was on WNEW 1130, and the Soupy Sales show was on WNEW-TV Channel 5 in NYC. Maybe that’s why WBW is in this sketch with Frankie?

[@suestabile1262]

Great to see this classic show again!👍

[@BJDally1]

YES!!! Im a member of the Rat Pack, love Frank` He needed to be pied!!! lol!!

[@williamwise9397]

Positive or negative, because that skit was ELECTRIC!

[@richardjohnson4372]

Us kids here in "All of DeeeeTroit" as Soupy used to say watched it even before this. This was done after he went to L.A. We know that because they never had tapes of the shows in Detroit. It was all done live with no tapes or video. He was absolutely the best. We would run home at lunch time to have "Lunch With Soupy". If you have never seen this one it's hilarious but a little risque. You can read the story about how it all came down & even though what you see here is a re-creation it's funny to see his reaction. www.detroitkidshow.com/naked_soupy.htm

[@KDoyle4]

I believe this was done in New York because it includes WNEW AM radio personalities William B. Williams (the guy with the glasses) and Ted Brown (the maitre d).

[@supotanga]

Aha! I went to another video of this. The guy who plays the boy's father was NY deejay William B. Williams.
