I used to LOVE What's my line. He was so funny.
Cablejockey, you're right. A certain age group knew and loved him.

Anyone else remember the brou-ha-ha that was stirred up when he ended an epsiode of his tv show by asking all the kiddies to open mommy's purse and send him all the pictures of presidents? There was never an address given and it was clearly a joke, but boy did people get stirred up over it.

Florimel, I read about that in some article today. It did certainly cause a lot of tail wagging, it seems.
Soupy was certainly an icon back in the day in NY.

ABC World News Now (their overnight news) did a great tribute to him that included a long interview with Barry who used to play the theme song on this show on the accordian. Apparently Barry worked with Soupy and was friends with him for a long time.

I'm sure ABC will have the tribute posted under the World News Now on their website.

I think Soupy fans will find it worthwhile since it goes all the way back to his beginnings in showbiz.

I am in that "certain age group" and I remember watching him many years ago.

I will have pie in his honor.
