First Edition. Signed and inscribed by the popular comedic entertainer, Soupy Sales: �To my dear friend Leonard. One in a million! I love you, Soupy Sales.� Original 81 page final draft script for a pilot episode of an unsold prime time black & white comedy/variety television show titled �The Soupy Sales Hour,� dated March 6, 1966. The show�s guests included Ernest Borgnine. Bound in a black leather binder with the title �The Soupy Sales Hour� and �Leonard Franklin� stamped in silver on the front. Fine condition. With a DVD which includes this �Soupy Sales Hour� pilot, a 30 minute black & white unsold pilot called �Where There�s Smokey� starring Soupy Sales, Jack Weston, and Gale Gordon, and an episode of �Lunch with Soupy Sales.� Soupy was born Milton Supman, and was given the nickname �Soupy� as a child. He is best known for his long-running daily noontime children's television show, �Lunch with Soupy Sales,� originally called �12 O'clock Comics� and was later also known as �The Soupy Sales Show.� Largely improvised and slapstick in nature, the show was a hit with kids and adults alike, with nearly every episode resulting in Soupy being hit with a pie in his face. By some estimates, Soupy has been hit by over 25,000 pies. He was also a regular panelist on the syndicated revival of television�s �What's My Line?� and on the short-lived 1980 revival of �To Tell the Truth.� Other notable game show appearances include over a dozen episodes of the original �Match Game,� a few guest spots on �Hollywood Squares,� and a recurring role in all of the many different dollar amount versions of �The $10,000 Pyramid� from 1973 to 1991. He received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on January 7, 2005, a day before his 79th birthday. Seller Inventory # 17090E
