Soupy Sales

1988 Inductee

Soupy Sales has been an enduring force in the entertainment field for more than four decades. While he received a degree in journalism from Marshall University in 1949, his unique talent and desire to make people laugh led him into the field of entertainment. 

It is said that laughter is universal, and Sales’ zany brand of humor has earned him international acclaim. Radio and television shows, Broadway shows, motion pictures and comedy albums are only a few of the vehicles that the versatile Sales uses to bring laughter into the hearts of millions. 

However, in addition to the laughter, it is his affectionate memories of the city and his lasting ties to the community that bring Soupy Sales into the hearts of the people of Huntington.
