If you had pay attention to his dialog... flip was first wwit the idea of a ( celular phone that was then when noboddy knew about this technology accidently. telephone pocket phone!
"Killer say, 'Drop dead!'" LMAO! Flip ad libbed most of this, too. He was one of that great generation of comedic geniuses that the US, UK and Canada produced back in the 50s, 60s and 70s. There's never been anything like it before or since.
And The Champ is no chump, either; "I thought I could talk, but I've met my match..." LOL! Two Greats at the same time! Television was FUN in those days.
i remember watching this show,i loved it so much my parents bought me a flip wilson/ geraldine doll , i am 43, so you can imagine how old this show is
No one, and I mean no one has a show the quality of the Flip Wison show these days. RIP flip, we miss you. I am watching the reruns today on TV One and it's awesome.
This was APPOINTMENT TV back in the day! Every Thursday at 9:00PM PST,we were there an ready for Flip to just floor us all with his fantastic humor and great characters. I just loved the man dearly! His last TV appearance was in the "What Is Hip?" opening of "The Drew Carey Show". it was great to see him,if only for a moment. Rest in Peace,Flip. And thanks for posting,gladteck.
I hate to say this but I had a dress with the same colors in it, that was the style back then and we really thought this was 'fly'. Geraldine was the coolest act on television and this show was highly rated.... I remember this episode with the 'telephone pocket book' hilarious!!!!!! :D
I have seen Muhammad Ali a few times. He was the most robust and clean cut guy and really cute. More than that, he is the nicest person. Flip Wilson used to perform at the Regal long ago. He was so hilarious and acted like the women in my neighborhood....he must have really studied them lol :D
Flip was so funny, way before his time! All of us suffered a loss when he passed on. I remember sitting in the car with my dad listing to the Liston- Ali fight on the car radio because it came in better in the car than in the house. I'm 58 years old, white and southern , and I doubt there will ever be another heavyweight champ like Muhammed Ali. He really was the greatest! Not all people from the south are racist, Thanks for posting all these clips of Flip, and especially this one!
Flip Wilson was huge in the late 60's. Everybody loved his show and he could kid about serious stuff and have everybody laughing in agreement. It was a good time to be alive if Flip was on the tube.
I am 23yrs old and I remember watching this show all the time it used to come on tvland my parents watched it I loved it he was a CLEAN comic I could never watch pryor bc he used profanity all the time but as a child I loved the flip wilson show this is where "the devil made me do it" came 2 life! did you all know that he had 24 siblings WOW!
I watched his show faithfully. He was indeed a genius. And he quit the show while it was still top rated. Just goes to show, you don't have to be vulgar to have a hit show. This crap they put out today doesn't hold a candle to Flip.
I've missed "The Flip Wilson Show". This show with "Heavy Weight Boxing Champion" , Muhamad Ali , is a classic. I've missed seeing Flip Wilson on "The Flip Wilson Show" in the 1960's to early 1970's.
The day Ali met his match, LOL. "I thought I could talk, but I've met my match!" Sparring with Flip Wilson's many characters was always dangerous; he was one of the kings of improv humour.
Those were the days, Remembering Flip as a young child. We watched his weekly show, Family would gather around the tube waiting for Geraldine/Killer the best part of the show. Thanks for the walk down memory lane.
According to the title, which I should of read before asking who he is lol his name is Flip Wilson. Is he still alive? I can't believe I haven't heard of him.
Flip is sadly no longer with us--but it's fantastic to see so many young people meetinghim and getting to know his work through YouTube! You MUST listen to "The Devil Made Me Buy This Dress".
Sadly he's no longer alive, but during the 70s, he was really hot--but not as hat as Geraldine!!! ;-) Seriously, though, he was a great comedian but he had a genuine warm-hearted persona, sort of like if Perry Como was a comedian instead of a singer. Geraldine was sort of an alter-ego where he could tell more hard-edged jokes without spoiling his likeable persona. Flip was one of my favorite comedians of that time and I miss him very much.
You wouldnt know this, at 28 youre too young. Im 47 and I remember watching Flip Wilson in the early to mid-70's. he was a popular comedian of the time, and Geraldine was one of the characters he did on his weekly show on TV.
This is Flip Wilson, an extremely popular comedian in the 1970s and 1980s. Wow, you are really young because Wilson's TV show was in the top ten for over a decade!
Flip Wilson had a variety show of his own. He started on the Ed Sullivan show, I think. We would watch this show every week and it was always funnier then the time before. Us old folks did have some fun way back when....:)
a month ago your comment awaited approval and i havent signed on for a month since to approve any comments from anyone. sorry for the wait, your comment is approved now.
Damn this brought back some memories...I think he was the 1st black man to dress in drag on national tv....as far as male he is the 2nd...that would be Milton Berle...LOL..Now a days its Tyler Perry as Madea.
I remember watching this show with my mom when i was a kid. I loved Geraldine. For Christmas one year I got a Flip Wilson doll...it was made like a pillow. Flip was one one side and Geraldine was on the other side. It had a string you could pull to make it talk. One of the things it said was "The devil made me buy this dress!" Wish I still had it today.
toriElena: I had one of those dolls too, and whenever my dad would pull the string I'd scream and cry like a crazy person. I was two years old or something. Finally my mom had to hide it from my dad. I was such a queen.
Greatest Comedy Show ever... absolutely hilarious and very cleverly executed... leaves you feeling soo good! (Flip invented the Cellphone...)!!! What incredible foresight and innovation!!! This show used to be so wonderful to wake up to on weekends... I wish TVLAND would rebroadcast....it is a show which will always be enjoyed by all regardless of age... RIP great one!!!
Our family used to love this show, we especially liked it when Geraldine was on. He (she?) looked pretty good! Muhammad Ali was an icon in the 1960s & 1970s. He has Parkinson's Disease now, doesn't he? Flip died a few years ago, we didn't hear much about him after his show was off the air, I think he invested his earnings wisely and did well for himself. I heard Muhammad Ali spent all his money. I'm so glad these videos are on YouTube so we can go back in time!
Wow,I haven't seen Flip Wilson in YEARS. I used 2 watch this all the time. Flip has some killer ass legs. I know a lady that act just Geraldine. She always cracks me up. And Muhammad,well he's just HANDSOME as ever in that fly suit. Now,that's a REAL MAN.
something you don't see anymore-a gentleman. in and out of the ring, Ali carried himself with class and humility, even when being attacked and ridiculed for his beliefs. a true champion for all time.
humility? did someone change the definition of humility? Ali's most famous line is "I am the Greatest!", calling yourself the greatest in your profession isn't exactly being modest. He was a gentlemen in this clip and a great boxer but I have to disagree with your class and humility comment.
Geraldine sez, "What you SEE is what you GET, Honey. WOOOO!" LOL! Flip knew how to make it funny AND clean at the same time! Rare for comedians these days, unfortunately!
Yeah, kind of sad, ain't it? Stuff the whole family can watch! Flip was awesome! He used to crack us up everytime we watched him! Would've LOVED to have seen him live!!! ; )
I am absolutely crazy about Flip's shows, esp. his Geraldine character. Thank you for posting. And I love when he plays the minister. Thanks again - going right to my favorites!
I used to love this show on Thursday night in the early 70's when i was a young boy. I seem to remember Ironside was next..the beginning of that show scared the hell out of me..i could not watch it
This was fun to watch! I barely remember watching this show on tv, but it's nice to be able to see clips from the Flip Wilson Show. Thanks for sharing!
When Flip got into character he really embodied the role. Whether he performed as Geraldine, Reverand Leroy or any of his various characters, he was absolutely priceless. Muhammed Ali was the greatest in boxing--and Flip was the greatest in sketch comedy. At least that's my opinion.
Flip/Geraldine was ahead of the times who knew then there would be phones (cells) that would fit in a purse

I am absolutely crazy about Flip's shows, esp. his Geraldine character. Thank you for posting. And I love when he plays the minister. Thanks again - going right to my favorites!

I used to love this show on Thursday night in the early 70's when i was a young boy. I seem to remember Ironside was next..the beginning of that show scared the hell out of me..i could not watch it

This was fun to watch! I barely remember watching this show on tv, but it's nice to be able to see clips from the Flip Wilson Show. Thanks for sharing!

Took 15 years before pulling a phone out of a pocketbook to make a 'mobile' call becomes reality!

When Flip got into character he really embodied the role. Whether he performed as Geraldine, Reverand Leroy or any of his various characters, he was absolutely priceless. Muhammed Ali was the greatest in boxing--and Flip was the greatest in sketch comedy. At least that's my opinion.
