I certainly Soupy Sales, having spent my formative years in the Detroit Media Market. For many years, I believed that Detroit was his hometown. A very funny man.
Soupy got his break in Detroit, on WXYZ, but he was from N. Carolina, of all places!
He was certainly part of my early childhood: I’d rush back from my half-days at kindergarten to be home in time for ‘Lunch with Soupy’.
I grew up in Detroit as well and watching Soupy Sales on WXYZ figures among my first media memories (or any other kind of memories).
Soupy Sales once asked the children watching his TV program to empty mommy’s purse and mail him all the pieces of green paper bearing pictures of the presidents.
