Comedian Soupy Sales Dead At 83

MTV News
It was a simple gag, but one that made Soupy Sales a household name: a pie in the face, or 20,000 pies, to be exact. That slapstick comedic trick, along with a warehouse of goofy faces and wacky characters helped elevate Sales (born Milton Supman) to one of the country's most beloved comedians in the late 1950s. Sales died on Thursday at the age of 83 at a hospital in the Bronx, after several years of declining health

Soupy Sales took so many pies to the face over so many years; truly, he was a man dedicated to his trade -- he'll be missed
