In 1970, the Flip Wilson Show debuted on TV. This was the golden age of variety shows and I still miss it! Remember this show?

Flip was a favorite guest of Ed Sullivan and on Laugh-In. So, they gave him his own show. it was a hit. There was no one funnier in a dress. The stars that walked onto the stage ranged from Tim Conway to Joe Namath to Ray Charles. Nothing was off limits and that made for great laughs!

Enjoy the trip back in time:
