Flip was a hoot. Along with other black performers of that era, Flip developed much of his material when he was on the “chitlin circuit” of black nightclubs during the waning days of segregation.

I remember one skit where his fellow actor got fresh and pinched Geraldines ass. Geraldine’s responces had me on the floor laughing hard.

He was particularly talented, a genius of timing as well.

Geraldine with Tim Conway and Burt Reynolds!!

Burt Reynolds and Flip Wilson were very good friends.
