#FlipWilson (1933–1998) would have been 89 today.
He introduced his alter ego Geraldine Jones on a 1969 special that inspired NBC to give him his own variety series.
And #TheFlipWilsonShow (1970-74) became TV’s second-highest-rated show from 1970-72!

"New Jersey was noted for its good schools. There was Snyder, Dickenson, Rutgers, Princeton. But I went to PS 14 because it was in the neighbourhood."

I woke up thinking about Flip Wilson...Which lead to "Geraldine"....Yeah, I am old. Though I was a wee baby when he was at the height of his career. There were always reruns!! Yup, old enough to know what those were. He did a TV persona in drag...A black man dressed in drag and everyone loved him. Nowadays, he would likely be attacked from both the Left and the Right...but I will watch some clips and enjoy my childhood memories....
