Soupy was also a regular 'guest' on a show at WISH TV8, here in Indianapolis, in the early 70's called "The Morning Show" which was changed to "Indy Today" after about six months. I got to know Soupy, White Fang and Black Tooth very well in 1971, when I started to work at WISH. The hosts of the "Indy Today" show were Wally and Natalie Brunner, who were from Indianapolis originally. Wally was the host of several nationally syndicated game shows (What's my Line) and "Wally's Workshop", which was a nationally syndicated show, about home improvements, that he both starred in and was the Producer. Natalie was his foil on the show. Hmm, I wonder if anybody has copied that format.
