I'm afraid that Flip is forgotten in this day an age and that is a huge shame because he was one of the greatest comedian/entertainers ever!

Man, I miss this genera of TV. I was just a kid and it was an event to watch Flip and his comedy hour. We would go to school the next day just cracking his jokes. Such a classic time.

@Data Two I haven't had TV for 15yrs (almost 60yrs old)...no regrets. I learned to appreciate reading when our family TV broke in 1979 during a Quincy, MD episode. I, too, remember Flip Wilson, Rowan & Martin, Mutual Homes, Wild Kingdom, & even Lawrence Welk. Oh...The "good old days", how I miss them. Life seemed so much more richer, calmer, more family oriented. 🫤

Me too. It's a terrible shame that for much of today's viewers, this type of television, and variety shows is thought as not being sophisticated enough. If this is actually true, it is a very sad commentary about the state of affairs of the contemporary mind.

I stopped watching TV having tossed the thing in the rubbish in 2004. I've not looked back, I've never regretted it, and I've learned more about the nature and direction of television programming without it, than I ever did with it.

In those rare times I was in a situation where television couldn't be avoided, I could see just how dramatically programming had not only downgraded, but became increasingly perverted and crass. Some might consider this as "being real", but I don't. Curiously, when I bring this up to people who've never gone without TV, they can't seem to see it. I chalk that up to my having had the luxury of a perspective drawn from not having it for very long periods of times. It makes it that much easier to notice the changes.

3 comedy giants! Irreplaceable. CLEROW "Flip" WILSON (1933-1998), THOMAS "Tim" CONWAY (1933-2019), and RICHARD PRYOR (1940-2005)

I met Flip Wilson In Ketchikan, Alaska a couple of years before he passed away. He won a free trip in a raffle that took place in Seattle and the prize was a trip through Southeast Alaska on Alaska Marine Lines new super tug boat as they went to ports throughout Southeast Alaska unloading and loading freight. I worked for the company at the facility in Ketchikan, Alaska and stopped him for his autograph on his way back to the tugboat after visiting Ketchikan. He said ‘ i’ll do one better than that. I’ll have your boss take our picture with that camera hanging around his neck’! I wish I would have gotten that autograph also but the picture was worth 1000 smiles! We talked for about five minutes after The photo was taken. I told him that I never missed one of his shows back in the day when I was a young child and he was on TV! He told me that he had another TV show in the works but never mentioned the name of the show. I have since lost the photo in my moving around so much over the years but I did take a photo of the photo with my smart phone and still have that. In the photo he has his arm around me and I standing next to him with my arm around him! I will always cherish that memory as I was a big fan! Wish I could post the photo on here!

Flip Wilson was ABSOLUTELY one of the funniest entertainers I ever remember seeing on TV…..I loved his show…of course, our host, Tim Conway, and Harvey Korman were one of the funniest comedy teams ever and were one of the reasons I never missed The Carol Burnet Show….and then, of course, that takes you right on to Mama’s Family with Carol, Vicki Lawrence, Harvey Korman, Rue McClanhan and Betty White which leads us non other than, “The Golden Girls”…I miss them all so much…just like for our mothers…they were so wonderful….then that takes me right on to another one of my favorites…Designing Women with 4 of the most hysterical women and a super funny, sweet black man……but In amongst them all we can’t forget Richard Pryor who was in a class by himself as was the sweet, kind, caring Red Skelton who lost his only son to blood cancer when he was only 10 years old in, I think, 1957. Most children did not survive it back then like they do today thanks to the research that has taken place at St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital thanks to a wonderful man who started St. Jude’s who was more of an all around entertainer rather than only a comedian….the amazing Danny Thomas…and his smart, talented, caring daughter whom I have always admired, Ms. Marlo Thomas aka Mrs. Phil Donahue. There are many more talented comedians but these are some of the BEST that have ever been….Thanks to you ALL….you are all so appreciated and loved.

I loved his show. I was in Los Angeles once and he passed us on the freeway. His licences plate said Flip . I was so excited to actually see him even though it was the back of his head. He was driving alone. My favorite skits were of the church of what's happening now.

Believer

Yes we did to couldn't wait for his show to start.

Dwart Farquart

Watched with my dad. Flip was the only show he never missed. He worked all night almost every other night except Sunday.
He still says it was the best show on tv and only Lawrence Welk was even close.

Thank you so much for sharing this. I loved Flip Wilson as a kid and he still impresses.

DIVERGENT Senior

Just as funny as I remember. It was always a thinking person’s show. What strikes me is the length of the sketches. They would never be allowed to be played out in today’s short attention span world.

Time Life has 20 of his shows available on disc. A commercial made me look for this. I was struck by the fact only Lily Tomlinson and Cher are still alive of all the guests shown on the ad.

Flip left us too soon at age 64. Glad we have this to remember what a great talent he was. RIP and thanks for giving us one of the greatest characters ever: Geraldine.

The 8th episode of the 4th and final season (1973-1974) of The Flip Wilson Show, which aired on NBC on November 15, 1973. Flip's guests were Tim Conway, Richard Pryor, and Roman K. This episode featured a spoken introduction by Tim Conway at the beginning.

♥️ 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. ♥️

And addendum to my first comment. The bad guys were always the black man on TV. And we weren't allowed to steal lie or anything else that therapist under because my dad would beat the crap out of us this is before they weren't allowed to use the belt just in case anybody has any comments or criticism it was a lot back then. Just in case, it made me scared to do that because I wasn't where I was going to bring it if I stole something just I was going to bring it to my home or my dad's going to see him beat the crap out of me for doing it and on top of that I have to bring it back and he beat me there again too because he's not just to think about it I can get a beat for him thinking about what I did to make him mad.
