A handful a years ago, my dad and I stopped at a corner bar, I was all of 14 years old, and my dad handed me a quarter and said play something from the jukebox son, and I said like what dad, and said awe just push some buttons, ok dad will do, and by a stroke of luck, flip Wilson came on and the whole bar broke out in laughter, the bar tender gave a free round to everyone and gave me a free soda, I'll never forget that day, thank you mr. Wilson thank you.
What a beautiful Presentation and Performance by Miss Black America. "My Soul's Been Anchored in the Lord." We should all pray that our souls are anchored in the Lord.
Last nite, bc the heating unit blew, and no one would be available to fix it bc it was Christmas Day, we all sat around the living room, near the fireplace. Somebody started talking about our Christmas gatherings of times past, and the topic turned to favorite tv shows, and we had quite a lively conversation about Flip and his show. Then, somebody pulled out a few decks of cards, and suddenly, we had a full-blown Carlotta tournament brewing. It was a magical night. RIP, Flip, and thanx so very much, for the magic, music, and memories.
That’s when we had real comedians!! I miss Georgia and Flip! I remember when he did Laugh-IN for the first time! was 12 or so. I couldn’t quit laughing! I’m so glad I hat the people that have channels like this one have Flip and many of the comedians so we enjoy them in “my old age” anyway!
Both men! So very far ahead of their time! Would that we had their amazing wit and talent today... maybe we would be less in dire straight and have a more accepting and beautifully healthy planet. 💜💜💜
I had the fortune of meeting and spending about 20 minutes after the taping of a show with Mr.Wilson. I was nervous but asked, "can I have a kiss", which I planted on his cheek. He said can I have a kiss and he kissed my cheek. He gave me his autograph on a studio envelope which I still have. It was awesome! I was 15 yrs old
At the start of George Carlons comedy career he had a lovely woman named Dianne Richards- Reese who resided in Newark California. They both were super talents and die all to soon. Love them 💕always!
I don't mean to sound corny but it is great to see such talent; black and white preform in front of an audience; black and white; young and old, and have things just be fun. This is America at its best!!! Wilson, Carlin, Namath and the top 3 contestants of Miss Black America. Today's culture can learn a lot from this. ✌👍
Marso ElFlaco Straight up! You don’t sound corny for a second to me. How did race relations break down from then until now?? I don’t ever have issues getting along with anyone from all types of people races, abilities, parts of the world whatever Give respect and love and it’ll mostly come back to you, imo... Anyway now I sound corny, but I thought you made a great statement! Much love and respect. 🤙🏽
amazing show, a standard in our house when it was first broadcast. but that carlin monologue…even flip was blown away, i think. george was such a brilliant man. his wordplay is unequaled by anyone, excellent maybe lenny bruce. RIP to all these singular comic geniuses.
I Loved to watch the show when I was a kid.👍 Loved FLIP and Miss Geraldine Jones I didn't pay attention to there looks back then, But now I am 65yrs And I look forward to seeing this again . Flip Wilson was a Handsome man and As Geraldine Jones he was a very attractive Lady RIP Flip Wilson And Miss Geraldine Jones Truly Missing you Flip Wilson And Miss Geraldine 🕊️💕
Watching this brings joy to my heart and a tear to my eyes. Comedy was better, TV was better, Music was better, African-Americans were proudly Black, Afros were in, Black Women wanted to LOOK black, and Blacks and Whites were trying harder to live together with mutual respect. I miss those days so much!
@@Beardman29 It started with Nixon and the War on Drugs. Then, we got Reagan and the War on Unions plus the War on Americans. It's been all downhill from there.
We/I am laughing but this guy worked hard & I hope his Family is getting Royalties/Benefits from his body of work. They should be proud. Just beautiful man .
You know you're old when you know and remember all these people and you feel this was entertainment at its best. You never watch TV's entertainment today so you only watch old shows on ME TV and TV Land. Actually, this not only shows we're old, but also smart.
This is history for me. This show came on every Thursday evening on NBC. My sister and I would usually be doing the dinner dishes. One Thursday night my mom calls up the stairs and says “He, girls! Flip Wilson’s on!” I called that we were doing the dishes. She said to stop, watch the show, then finish up the dishes, that this was a big deal; an African American man with a No.1 variety Show was a big deal in our house, as, during that time, we didn’t have many of us doing something this great that transcends
I agree about Flip,l have just re discovered him what a class act in so many ways and Geraldine Only he could have done all this He was brilliant This is helping us as we have just Gone thru this 3 year Covid Yes flip you are helping us heal ourselves. So thank you from the bottom of our hearts You were a special young man and a good Father from all accounts It seems everyone Loved you and admired you No negatives at all only positives Rest In Peace Dear friend You were one of a kind Hk
Flip Wilson was brilliant. Always made a statement re important social issues through humor. So sad he died so young. Read his autobiography, too. He said that his father abused him so horribly that he sustained belt lasting marks on his butt & this made him very embarrassed & uncomfortable during intimate moments with women. Very sad. Rest in peace & power, brother Flip Wilson!
Wished my own father were around to discipline me. It came at the hand of bi-polar relatives and a 'prison guard' of step-parent. I'd say if parents don't know the meaning of 'train-up-a-child-in-the-way-that-he/she-should-go', then give 'em up to someone who does. Abuse stays with you for life and manifests itself in many ways throughout adulthood. That makes for decaying societies, we're actually living in one in large part because of it.
G Carlin on TV was a Saint. In concert was raw and filthy as were and are many stand ips.. delighted to see this clean comedy. Lived Geraldine and here come the judge
I remember watching Flip Wilson when I was a kid. I can't remember any show that wasn't funny as hell. I am so glad that we have access to this show and the people that made them great all these years later. As others have said, these were the years of comedy where things were implied in the jokes and skits, but it was left to the audience to appreciate the humor. It was "clean" humor, wink wink, without all the raunchy look at me crap of recent years. I'd rather spend hours on the Internet watching Flip, Dean, Jonathan Winters and others to be truly entertained.
@@karenwhaley8635 Yes he was. I am 64 and enjoy watching the shows that I grew up watching as a kid. It may be the nostalgia bit about them or whatnot, but it does give me a reprieve from the lunacy of what is going on in this country and world these days. Being able to actually laugh from the gut is a good thing.
I remember seeing an episode of the Brady bunch when I was a kid where Broadway Joe Namath was a guest. Do you remember when he did a commercial for Brute.
@@michaeljulia6069 Yes I do! In that commercial didn’t he say something about “ slapping it on” or something! I think he kinda of slapped it on his cheeks??! Did he do a commercial with Farrah Facet,too? He was a big heart throb back then! A lot of the girls in 7-12th grade had his pictures in lockers and everything!
True comedians who didn't have to relay on vulgarity to be funny. Flip Wilson was one of my favorite shows growing up. Wow...did we realize back then what we had?
How I wish Geraldine would be here today ! Flip Wilson was packed with talent it was off-the-charts ! ! ! ...how I recall the days when I looked forward to watching his show and he never disappointed... - I was bent over in laughter when his sassy, 'don't mess with me' gal Geraldine came on!
RoyalSnowbird This was and still is one of my favorite classic tv shows that I still watch. The Flip Wilson Show was very funny and it was done without using profanity. He had a host of great entertainers on his show. 😅😍😊😁😜😄 2019
You're able to ever find more full Flip Wilson episodes: I would love to see all the ones with Sammy Davis Jr., Barbara McNair and the one with both Lola Falana and Dean Martin came on!
I went to a taping and Burt Reynolds was a guest On the way out I growled to my friend that's Burt Reynolds ahead!!! Next thing I see he stopped looked down right up in my face and growled back!!! I thought I would die!!! I was 15 yrs old Will NEVER forget it!!
♥️ *True* *Story:* ♥️ Hello there! My name is Alisa & I'm from Indianapolis. Anyways, I am a singer/songwriter. Back in 2006, I was singing at a lounge/steak house. Flip Wilson's brother, who was a talent scout, had started showing up at these events. We started talking more & more & he would starting asking me to slow dance w/him. Then, one night, while we joined all the slow dancing couples, he asked me out. Although I was very honored he thought that highly of me, I did politely tell him I wasn't romantically interested in him. The biggest reason was b/c our age difference is nearly 60 years. However, he was simply one of the kindest people I've ever met. I often wonder if he is still living. If not, may he always RIP, along w/Flip. ♥️

Flip was one of most spectacular people I have gotten know. He was so kind and so wonderful
Thanks for replaying these great old shows. Talented and funny people I remember
Flip was one of the funniest man on the planet. The novelty never seem to wear off. It is so hilarious.
My favorite was Flip and Pat Paulson doing a comedy routine to Rocky Raccoon. I was young but I will never forget it.
I've always loved Geraldine. And when "she" got together with Joe Namath, they both enjoyed the skit.
A handful a years ago, my dad and I stopped at a corner bar, I was all of 14 years old, and my dad handed me a quarter and said play something from the jukebox son, and I said like what dad, and said awe just push some buttons, ok dad will do, and by a stroke of luck, flip Wilson came on and the whole bar broke out in laughter, the bar tender gave a free round to everyone and gave me a free soda, I'll never forget that day, thank you mr.

Thanks for all of memories of dearly beloved Flip Wilson 👑🌹. Loooooove ❤️, your #2 niece ColleenE.Wilson-Colbert
I watch this wonderful comedian, one of my favorites.
Well before he's time !
Pure class.
Missing ya Flip Wilson RIP 🕊️❤️🕊️ and Miss Geraldine
My uncle Bob Henry was the producer of “ Flip “ . He loved to tell stories about the shows he produced.
What a beautiful Presentation and Performance by Miss Black America. "My Soul's Been Anchored in the Lord." We should all pray that our souls are anchored in the Lord.
We need Flip Wilson kind of humor today. I remember watching him every week. Really miss Flip!!!!
This Show is the GodFather of Comedy T.V. Shows...This looks like a SNL skit to me...The Flip Wilson Show was the GREATEST

OMG! These shows were much better back then.
We're fed garbage these days. Thank You Flip Wilson and George Carlin. Pure natural talent.
Real TV shows and it was aired for free. Many shows from the 70s were truly best.
The original Weekend Update! I loved this show as a kid.
Dang that is a fact, THANX

Hello there! My name is Alisa & I'm from Indianapolis. Anyways, I am a singer/songwriter. Back in 2006, I was singing at a lounge/steak house. Flip Wilson's brother, who was a talent scout, had started showing up at these events. We started talking more & more & he would starting asking me to slow dance w/him. Then, one night, while we joined all the slow dancing couples, he asked me out. Although I was very honored he thought that highly of me, I did politely tell him I wasn't romantically interested in him. The biggest reason was b/c our age difference is nearly 60 years. However, he was simply one of the kindest people I've ever met. I often wonder if he is still living. If not, may he always RIP, along w/Flip. ♥️
Joe made a few appearances on Flip one appearance he had a cast on following an injury.
I remember that one too , Flip was so funny & Joe laughed alot through that skit . Love Joe's laugh & him ❤
