The one and only Flip Wilson was one of the funniest and most important stars of the 60s and 70s. Not only did he host a top-rated variety show, break barriers for African-American artists, and create some of the most memorable characters in comedy history, but he also changed the face of television variety shows forever. Flip Wilson only hosted Saturday Night Live once, and while it wasn’t a particularly memorable episode, it represented a specific time in SNL’s history and had some great moments.
In this episode, you’ll hear Flip’s brief and somewhat odd monologue, along with a couple of funny sketches and the stories behind some of Wilson’s greatest creations. Nick also shares behind-the-scenes tales and background stories about Flip’s work, including his collaboration with the legendary Richard Pryor. You’ll hear an outstanding piece of comedy from The Flip Wilson Show, showcasing their incredible talents, and more.
A true comedy legend hosted SNL, and you’ll hear all about it in this episode of That Show… [Ep95]
