DVD featuring skits, music and frequent appearances by Ge raldine Wilson (Flip in drag). In 1970, Flip Wilson would win over audiences to become the first African-American to host a hugely successful variety show. This collection of several episodes of Wilson's Emmy Award-winning show finds the funnyman doing what he does best: entertaining people and making them laugh. While Wilson wowed audiences with his hilarious role-playing skills (including the unforgettable characterizations of Geraldine Jones, Reverend Leroy, Sonny, and Freddie Johnson), he managed to hold his own with heavyweight celebrities such as Bill Cosby, Don Rickles, Bobby Darin, Tim Conway, Redd Foxx, Ray Charles, Big Bird, and many more. Beginning with the Sept. 17, 1970, pilot, this DVD release contains the first four episodes, as well as a special bonus fifth episode, featuring Lucille Ball and the Osmonds. THE FLIP WILSON SHOW remains one of television's most historic and entertaining spectacles. THE FLIP WILSON SHOW won Emmy Awards for Best Variety Series and Writing in a Variety Series.
Flip Wilson won a Golden Globe in 1971 for Best Television Actor.
For two years, the only higher rated show on television was ALL IN THE FAMILY.

"BURIED TREASURE!"
It's been years since I enjoyed this show as a kid! It was all nicely reproduced on DVD with CD Universe. I'm looking forward to buying more great retro favorites! Flip Wilson is a classic!

That this man should have died ere he had made his planned comeback is one of the show business tragedies. There will, sadly, never be another Flip Wilson.

I was broght up in Cincinnati and was 4 when this first aired...I remembered Fkip Wilson in the back of my head as a big deal in our house....Well after watching it I realise why it was such a big deal. A positive image for the black society and Flip was an entertainer which we no longer produce. I highly recommend it to anyone who would like to remember the 70's clothes, language, emerging black culture and for a wide diversity of stars! Truely entertainiing and leaves me wondering where America has gone wrong since!
