Bing Crosby, Flip Wilson, & Tim Conway - Diner Sketch

Flip Wilson is the owner of a diner, Tim Conway a truck driver, and Bing Crosby a plumber in this sketch from the 3/16/72 Flip Wilson Show.

[@gregvanhooser449]

I remember back in the day when they had only three tv channels and just about every show was worth watching. Today I have 300 channels and wind up watching what I use to watch on those three channels back in the day.😎

[@JojoJoAnnClark]

I remember when I had 8, and my dad said,, I was lucky,, he only had radio growing up. Lol

[@grit5124]

You are so right. We always had something good to watch. Now I watch the old shows from back then. Nothing else is worth my time.

Flip Wilson was a genius. His Geraldine was fantastic. Me and my mum loved him.

[@stewartsnape1231]

Da devil made me do it, good to see Bing also doing a sketch with flip

[@PorkChopJones]

When the Flip Wilson Show came out you can't imagine the thrill , joy and excitement. We did watch his show every week. Flip could do it all, sing, dance, comedy & drama. He had some of the biggest stars of the time on his show. There where many variety show on television back in the 70's and Flip Wilson's show was one was one of the better ones. The man was a great entertainer.

[@davewebb9452]

I'd forgotten about Flip. I was quite young, but watched him every week. I probably wouldn't have got the running juke box joke when I was eight.

[@jeanwhite1659]

Always looked forward to watch Flip Wilson Show. A laugh a minute. Great time in my younger yrs Thank you for reviving this best of the best TV

[@grit5124]

Tim Conway and Flip Wilson. I remember when he did Geraldine...hilarious.

[@swordoff7]

What a fabulous trio. They pulled it off splendidly. Watching this skit left me satisfied with resonating inner laughter and comedic warmth I haven't felt in many years.

I surely do miss those days. Flip Wilson was one of my favorite entertainers, along with Tim Conway. 👍 Thank you guys for the memories.

[@pattibrooks1907]

How cool is this having all three Flip Tim and Bing are on the same show in a skit ! I love them all ! Tim and Flip are funny and Bing has the voice but he can be funny too just see him on the JUdy Bing and Bob records !

[@franktheo2055]

Innuendo, when the sharp witted Flip Wilson told Tim Conway that he took pride in his cooking and three years ago you wouldn't even be served here, when the audience got it and started to LOL, Conway got it and smiled looked up at Wilson with that one liner and held back from laughing his ass off with the genus and greatness of the comical improv of Flip Wilson. A Cook A Truck Driver & A Plumer, and as Bing said when he kicked the Jukebox, That One's Mine and it was ! I'll take yesterdays paper in my stew over the garbage of what's in the comics of today.. Great Posting !!

And flip almost broke the king of breaking people Tim Conway

[@markhealey3660]

Bing Crosby has humor I didn't know of. Love it.

[@oldtoby9377]

He had. But you really need to see him with Bob Hope (especially in their road pictures). They were masters of ad libs and had great comedic timing. Oh yeah, they both can sing too, although it's obvious that Crosby was the superior singer

Tim’s face at 3:07 is so great! He managed to get stumped and not break, not something that happened too often with him. Such a h genius. And I love Bing Crosby’s acting, White Christmas is one of my favorite movies. His improv is good too. “Peak hour?” I know he wasn’t a very nice guy IRL, but I do love him onscreen.

[@JohnDoe-yr1ys]

When Sinatra's "Strangers in the Night" was playing and Tim was about to kick the music off, Bing pulled him back and said, "No, this one's mine."" Hilarious!!

[@lindahawotte1514]

Flip was the best! Not a single curse word or off color joke just hilarious fun. G rating at its best! How I miss those days!

8:40 Almost every skit featuring der Bingle had this song randomly weaseled in. And it still gets me every time

That was Bing Crosby's signature song like Bob Hope's Thanks for the Memories...even though he's remembered more for White Christmas 🎄 😀

Ah, back in the days of no China Flu and a burger for 40 cents! I remember riding with my Grandfather on a short trip in the late 60s or early 70s I think and we stopped for a burger and the price had just crossed over $1.00 which I thought was a lot back then! Now look, McDonalds burgers at $5 or more. Oh well. I remember Flip Wilson was a funny guy that I loved back then. And that singing guy he wasn't bad either! Too bad Tim Conway couldn't unleash 100% of his humor here but I'm certain with Flip and Bing as guests, the idea was to let the guests shine. Quite a treat here to watch these three greats! Thanks for the memories!

[@stevenbaer4979]

Flip Wilson and Tim Conway were the funniest and hilarious great comedians in their heyday. Bing Crosby was great in his day if he wasn't beating his kids. RIP to all 3 great men. Bing Crosby and Bob Hope were gr8 and wonderful playing together in several movies. Hamburger for 40 ¢, cheeseburger for 50 ¢, and deluxe burger for 70 ¢ were bigger, juicest, and better taste than nowadays. I will be 54 in December 2020. 🍔 🍴✌👍😎🇺🇸😋
