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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

I grew up in Birmingham in the white bread suburbs and we loved Flip. I was the neighborhood ham (a gay boy in training) and I would act out Geraldine in the 4th grade. Hysterical and so nice to see big established stars supporting him and the show. My city was famous for racism, but in my neighborhood, for some reason, no one cared . . .my mom was progressive and so were most people where I lived. She was raised by a loving black maid and that made her sensitive to racism and gay bigotry--thank God. I'm a lifelong Lucy nut. Go Flip!

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.

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

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

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.

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

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!)

Ed copping a feel 😂😂

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

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

Gosh I miss this hysterical comedy

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.

Love Lucy cracking up

This clip is awesome

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?

This awesome

This is the best Geraldine sketch ever!!

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

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!

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

I may be new but everything is in working order lol

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

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!

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

2 COMEDIC LEGENDS TOGETHER.

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

Love it,thanks

I loved him dress as that lady lol

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}.

Awesomely awesome

This is a GEM!

Mr flip is the king!

“ Major repair” 🤣🤣😂🤣🤣

Wow!!! What good Heart felt Laughs.

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

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

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

Look at the blacks n whites out there audiences

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.

Hilarious! 😂🤣😂🤣

thanks for posting

☺↗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.↗👌

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 .

Wow! Love this episode. Thanks for sharing

60 year old Lucille

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

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

NAG, NAG, NAG! 🥕

ED, and Lucy is cracking up 😂

Geraldine looks like Sarah Vaughan.

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

❤️❤️

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

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.

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😭❤️🖤💚

Flip Wilson the devil made me do it lol

How does Lucy use the bathroom in the horse costume

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

Càught in Providence

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.

Yhey were not supposed to be laughing lol.

Wow I always heard Lucille Ball didn't like blacks
