This channel is an archive of television performances by the great American comedian, Clerow "Flip" Wilson Jr. (December 8, 1933 - November 25, 1998). This includes "The Flip Wilson Show" variety series which ran on NBC-TV for four seasons, from September 1970 to February 1974. Flip Wilson's NBC series was the first weekly variety series hosted by a major black star that was a success. (Nat King Cole had a 15-minute weekly variety series on NBC in 1956 that was cancelled due to a lack of sponsors. Sammy Davis Jr. had a weekly variety series on NBC in 1966 that was cancelled due to low ratings.)

During the first two seasons of The Flip Wilson Show, it became the second most popular TV show in America, reaching millions of viewers and breaking down racial barriers, successfully appealing to both black and white audiences. Black people could enjoy the show without any anger, and white people could enjoy the show without any guilt.
