The late Milton Supman was better known by which TV stage name?

Milton Supman was nicknamed “Soup Bone." His brothers? "Ham Bone" and "Chicken Bone." As a disc jockey, he used the name "Soupy Heinz," and later changed his surname to Sales to avoid issues with Heinz foods and to honor comedian Chic Sale.

He had a Master's Degree in Journalism and served in the US Navy in WWII. Aboard the USS Randall, he entertained the crew with jokes, stories, and characters, including “White Fang,” a large, mean, white dog.

White Fang and his opposite, “Black Tooth,” were on Sales's live children's TV show. At a knock on the prop door at the back the set, Sales spoke with a dog or a guest behind the door. All viewers ever saw of a dog was a stagehand's disguised arm.

One day, Sales's staff hired a woman, apparently nude but for balloons, to dance backstage. Sales went to the door, saw, got flustered, recovered, and went on with the show. He once invited kids to collect green pieces of paper with pictures of dead presidents and mail them to him. Parents objected. He apologized and donated the money to charity but was suspended for two weeks.

His trademark was taking a pie in the face. His guests got pied, too.

Alfred Hawthorne “Benny” Hill masterminded the eponymous “Benny Hill Show” on UK TV and appeared in films. Born Maurice Halpern, Monty Hall hosted the huge US TV success, “Let’s Make a Deal.” Born Mendel Berlinger, Milton Berle was arguably America’s first TV star. "Uncle Miltie" also starred on radio, in Vaudeville, and in film.
