Lucille Ball on the Flip Wilson show (1971)

[@misterjones842]

I died laughing when Ed Sullivan gets caught trying to cop-a-feel on Lucille Ball and Geraldine Jones. It is a shame that Flip Wilson is not shown the respect that he deserve for his contributions to Comedy in America. He open the door for many up and coming comedians in the early 1970s.

[@lillianmunster4734]

LOL 😂 I think Flip almost lost it! He started to laugh I Love It when he plays Geraldine! Flip and Lucy and Ed What a show 👍

[@proudamerican9438]

Ah, the good old days. I remembered this show as a young child in the 1970s. These people are legends and were immensely talented. The shows on TV today can't compare.

[@lillianmunster4734]

I Agree 👍

[@showtunestarpower]

Lucille Ball and Flip Wilson are PERFECT comedy foils for each other. In these terrific skits have very similar performing styles - straight out front to the audience and full of joy. It's net to see Lucy generously setting up Flip's laughs. They are a great team.

[@hyliadreamer]

That was really impressive, to see how flawlessly they played off of each other!

[@aarondigby9859]

FLIP AND LUCY= COMEDY GOLD, two of the absolute greatest.

[@JanesDough855]

Best part of live television, seeing real comedy like this. RIP Flip. I loved your show.

[@monicagomez4616]

Can’t get enough Flip Wilson. Love his acts.

Flip is so lucky, he got to smell Lucy's rectum and vagina in this sketch...I am in love with the old Lucy...you know....the one with the gravelly voice from chain smoking for decades, the miserable-uptight-pissed off Lucy, the old Lucy with more wrinkles then a stale raisin....yes indeed...the old Lucy was super sexy and I jack off to the old Lucy two to three times a week.

[@lillianmunster4734]

Me tooooooo RIP FLIP 🕊️❤️🕊️

[@johnedwardjones999]

Three super greats. Best of the best. Thank you Flip, Lucy and Ed! 🌠

[@pattibrooks1907]

Love Lucy Ball and Flip Wilson too . They are both very funny !

[@jayking5722]

When Lucy the pro cracks up u know you are funny.

[@thomastimlin1724]

Lucy almost lost it when Flip does a dance and yells "I'm on the way with a burger and a shake!" Then Ed Sullivan, who at one time gave Flip Wilson one of his biggest breaks on HIS show, loses it entirely standing between two comedy giants delivering insults to each other.

[@eldermorris5221]

😂😂😂😂😂😆

[@lillianmunster4734]

LOL 😆

[@tyroneprice6642]

Lucille Ball was another great entertainer. She and Flip Wilson were entertaining together on his show.

[@rodikalicharan5544]

Lucille Ball is the queen of comedy

[@hyliadreamer]

Ed Sullivan?!?!?! I didn't expect to see him! (And I knew Flip was a hilarious man, but you KNOW you're on to something great when you can make the marvelous Lucille Ball crack up! That is extremely high praise!)

[@beverlyhintzen8780]

LOL "Killer call me Switch board, cause when I walk all my lines are busy!" LOL

[@lillianmunster4734]

Love it 👍

[@michellejohnson1298]

Geraldine arrived and the crowd goes wild!!!!!😃😃😃😃

[@richardwalker9826]

there will never be another Lucy- i love Lucy too!

[@jayking5722]

Love Lucy cracking up

[@sherrythibodeau2937]

Gosh I miss this hysterical comedy

[@dorothyaguilar5639]

These were the best times for me when the show"s were so awesome and great miss these day"s. RIP Flip & Lucy 💕💞

[@pattibrooks1907]

There will never be another Lucy ! Loved Flip Wilson but Lucy was my favorite funny person !

[@kllwc7772]

Ed copping a feel 😂😂

[@rosieoutlook905]

For those of you too young to know, Willie Shoemaker was the prime jockey with a 29 year run of highest victories. Hence the excitement of the method actors in the horse suit.

[@elisemiller13]

Thanks Rosie Outlook...I'm probably old enough, but but know nothing of horse race jockeys or stats

[@flenif2247]

I dated a guy who was "tops in bottoms". Miss him.

[@akrenwinkle]

A common business tactic was for one television star with a show to use another, at no pay. Lucy had Flip on "Here's Lucy" and Flip had Lucy here. Better for taxes.

[@gisselleechavarria8353]

YESSSS! OMG! I've been looking for this for so long. I saw a short instagram video of them doing a sketch on the flip wilson show and finally you upload it. Thank you!

[@mimiekona]

This clip is awesome

[@gregrambo606]

You had REAL stars back then. Not internet / KZbin plastic.

[@lillianmunster4734]

I Agree 💯

[@catherinestgermain3362]

This is the best Geraldine sketch ever!!

[@lillianmunster4734]

I really like it when Flip does Miss Geraldine Jones 😂

[@mbvlove3133]

This awesome

[@calvinbealer7264]

2 COMEDIC LEGENDS TOGETHER.

[@gloriaziegler5890]

I had to watch this again. Hilarious! So much laughter.

[@colleencolbert6900]

I'll forever keep my dearly beloved uncle Flip and Lucille Ball, both close toooooo my heart ❤️ 🙏🏽🙌🏾🙏🏽👀!

[@sickheadache9903]

As Kids we all would watch the Flip Wilson Show..and Couldn’t wait for Geraldine to show up!

[@FigaroHey]

Lucille Ball was born in 1911. Do the math, and then look at her LEGS. Man!

[@renarga6886]

One can't believe the woman was 60 when this was filmed.

[@hyliadreamer]

She was beautiful until the very end.

[@Multifacted_Brotha]

Cool never knew she was on the Flip Wilson show and I've also never seen her do shows or anything interacting with African Americans so this is interesting!

[@bobby12348]

Sammy Davis was her good friend and she was on her show.

[@MsDisneylandlover]

Right now I am a major fan of lucy n my brother plz follow me on KZbin too at #DisneyDiva and thank you and be safe and sound.

[@greenbeancom38]

She had sammy Davis Jr on her show

[@freedomtowin]

Love it,thanks

[@MrErnieFaison]

I always, always wanted Flip Wilson's character, Geraldine Jones, to be Sheneneh's mother. That would have been soooo cool. Geraldine Jones as Sheneneh's mother and Killa Jenkins as her daddy. I wonder if Martin ever thought about that possibility?

[@tabathacooksey6042]

Mr flip is the king!

[@vinylsbyqwest]

This is a GEM!

[@nancyhoward7005]

Awesomely awesome

[@lillianmunster4734]

Yessss AWESOME 👍

[@richardevans130]

It is so funny how when Lucy appears on Flip's show the sketches are fun and free wheeling but when Flip appeared on her show [Here's Lucy] they had to resort to a spoof of Gone With The Wind, they couldn't be more progressive than that. I love how Ed "accidentally"? touched Geraldine's boobs and Flip reacted in real life to the audience at the 10:45 mark.

[@lillianmunster4734]

👍🤩

[@videox222ify]

thanks for posting

[@MsDisneylandlover]

I loved him dress as that lady lol

[@lillianmunster4734]

Flip Wilson was a handsome man! And when he plays Geraldine Jones he was Attractive Lady. Love it 💕

[@MsDisneylandlover]

I may be new but everything is in working order lol

[@bostonblackie9503]

As he himself said his show played 52 weeks a year in Canada. He was gone too soon!

[@lillianmunster4734]

RIP Flip Wilson 🕊️❤️🕊️ Missing ya

[@donaldpype7018]

Wow!!! What good Heart felt Laughs.

[@mimiekona]

Wow! Love this episode. Thanks for sharing

[@kllwc7772]

“ Major repair” 🤣🤣😂🤣🤣

[@newmanoutdoors1564]

What a great share , They just don't make talent like these 2 anymore . I seem to remember as a kid the Flip Wilson show came on Sunday nights right before my bedtime atleast around cincinnati .

[@enriquesanchez-uu4lp]

60 year old Lucille

[@mistercool3859]

The drive-in skit is probably the first time that I've seen Lucille Ball play the straight character.

[@MsDisneylandlover]

This was funny I loved lucy

[@ElLuis1122]

Hilarious! 😂🤣😂🤣

[@terrencejohnson9876]

Geraldine's reaction to Ed touching her, Hilarious!!

[@lillianmunster4734]

[@shekelafarmer8306]

☺↗Each of the star's and comedian's has beautiful about them-self in more than one way are beautiful.😘↗Peace and respect to them all of which I having enjoyed their appearances by📺 tv and or 🎥 video showings.↗👌

[@chrystallee5528]

Ed Sullivan looks 80yrs old in this skit 😄😄😄(dressed like a hippie).

[@FigaroHey]

Ed Sullivan always looked 80 years old. He was born in 1901, so he would have been seventy when this was filmed.

[@rtususian]

Ed passed away just a year later, in 1972.

[@c.s.jackson7214]

​@@rtususian he passed away in 1974

[@nancyhoward7005]

Flip and Lucy havha he he haw

[@nevermind-he8ni]

Comic Gold.

[@carterbentonjr399]

$.37 cents for hamburgers 🍔 and shakes. Those were the days.

[@SuperWolsey]

Oh yeah.... I forgot since Flip did appear on Here's Lucy, Ball would appear on his show

[@MsDisneylandlover]

Look at the blacks n whites out there audiences

[@fromthesidelines]

Three nights after Flip appeared on the opening episode of the new season on "HERE'S LUCY" (featuring a parody of "Gone with the Wind"), she returned the favor and was his guest on the first show of his second season {September 16, 1971}.

[@NS-vw8pm]

I remember that. Flip was hilarious as Prissy. His version didn’t take any crap from Scarlett

[@lindalackey4609]

ED, and Lucy is cracking up 😂

[@dorothyaguilar5639]

Watch out for Geraldine Jones honey ! Them out fit"s were crazy 😱😵 😱. Oh check out Ed he sure looked 👀🔥👌🙌👏

[@nonenoneonenonenone]

No less than Ed Sullivan! Flip was the best, if you call him a drag queen, he was the best of all.

[@peezleyr6102]

Before there tyler perry media or mrs doubtfire there was Flip Wilson Mrs Geraldine Peezley 💋

[@JavanHamiltonTV]

NAG, NAG, NAG! 🥕

[@onjfan]

Do you by any chance happen to have the dvd set Lucy Mania (with the complete shows of the Westinghouse Special, the two ed sullivan shows and the bob hope shows complete?) Would love to see them again.

[@zalenaskye700]

❤️❤️

[@evonza4858]

I liked Lucy and I love Flip but it is in my mind that there were no black people on her show but he was kind enough to let her be on his😭❤️🖤💚

[@foxx2990]

Don’t look for racism where none existed. That’s not fair on Lucy.

[@taylorcimone6384]

@@foxx2990 you are ignorant. Racism is everywhere. The absence of poc in any show is very telling. But you already know that and are actively disagreeing bc America has taught non poc to lack self accountability.

[@hor2kulture]

Geraldine looks like Sarah Vaughan.

[@dustinparker3246]

How does Lucy use the bathroom in the horse costume

[@MsDisneylandlover]

I think his foot coming out of that costume really happened lol..

[@galeglidden6050]

Flip Wilson the devil made me do it lol

[@frederickcombs8661]

I bet no one in BLM ever saw Flip Wilson ! THIS IS 1971 AND WILSON WAS BELOVED BY EVERYONE. Sadly missed, entertainment like thid is sorely missed.

Where, may I ask did you hear that?
