The Soupy Sales Show (1959)
TV Series (1959 - 1962)
This was primarily a kids show but was loaded with double-entendre for the adults. Soupy Sales served as Host and was usually the only human. Random bits of silliness (Soupy Says) were intermixed with skits. A regular feature was people coming to the door this was usually a one sided conversation and the audience didn't get to see who was at the door. Originally enitled "Lunch with Soupy Sales".

[show]During the show Soupy would often answer knocks at the door. He would then talk to various characters not visible to the camera. One time he opened the door and, as a joke, the crew had sneaked in an exotic dancer who proceeded to disrobe to "stripper" music. Soupy was practically speechless and could not say anything on the air. Although it was obviously not shown on the air at the time, a camera backstage was taping it, and several years later it was shown (appropriate parts blacked out, of course) on TV. The entire "routine", with nothing blacked out, is available on a variety of "blooper" collection tapes.

He wound up receiving about $250 from his young fans. However, the story that Soupy allegedly sneaked a reference to the "F" word into an on-air joke is just a myth.
