β‘οΈ Today's Jew of the Day is Soupy Sales!
Milton Supman, known professionally as Soupy Sales, was best known for his show television show Lunch with Soupy Sales, where he entertained children with various sketches, jokes and gags.
Soupy grew up in the only Jewish family in Franklinton, North Carolina, and while his comedy was not specifically Jewish, it had the post-WW2 era Jewish nature that so much American-Jewish comedy had at the time.
Many children of the 1950s and 1960s remember Soupy's show fondly to this day, and the show can still be seen on Jewish Life Television and Retro Television Network.
