Soupy Sales not only has one of the funniest scandals in TV history, but here's one that I'm surprised didn't get him and his ilk banned from all of television.
When The Soupy Sales Show was live, his staff set him up for a prank, according to an interview he did with NBC's Bob Costas. As he went into a commercial, he would hear a woman scream, open the door and see a pair of ladies' shoes being dragged out of the frame. But when he actually opened the door, all he saw was a woman wearing ONLY her shoes (I think, I never bothered to look at her feet).
This clip contains censored nudity. So if you're watching it at work, make sure you share it with everyone around you, especially the ladies.

Ha! I remember this! I used to watch the show all the time, and remember when that clip aired years ago on some show. Funny.

Lovely. Met him once on 6th Avenue just outside Radoi City Music Hall @1985. He was just rolling down south on east side of street. I said Hey Soupy! and the biggest smile came across his face. No one else on crowded street said anything themselves. Soup wasn't doing much biz by then but he had time for a fast breeze chat. I was returning from lunch break so had to cut it short. Really pleasant guy.
Thanks for the treat.

I think that was possibly the LOUDEST video on YouTube.
