Hey Y'all let's get into this Thang🥰 Sorry about me preaching at the end🙃🙂🙃
No apology needed sister🙏🏾
I agree with everything you said.
@@andreacoleman3622 thank you lol I get to talking and can't stop😂😂
No apologies
No Apology Needed
I really enjoyed this story. One thing I really liked about Flip Wilson was the fact he own the rights to The Flip Wilson show, he was worth an estimated $10 million when he died.
Yes indeed. That Flip Wilson owned the rights to his show is probably the most important fact about his career and young artists should take note.
😳
That's my understanding that Wilson owned his hit variety show and the last reported amount of money I recall the show made was $20 million.
He sure was tight with his $$ and he never over spent and also used coupons at the grocery store in Malibu. Miles Davis asked him once why he went to the store and didnt have someone do it for him....Flip said you live your life and leave mine alone. Miles was like.....this nigga here.... I was a young man but I remember that so well it scared me but flip was never submissive to anyone. He said he used to live on 3 dollars a day when he was broke and poor just cause he made some money is not going to change that realization. He was not doing cocaine and it makes me very angry people keep this white bullshit alive when it was not true. It was a rival comedian who was jealous. He was arrested for a empty vial of hash oil....lol No cocaine was ever found. It was godfrey Cambridge the cops mistook flip for. Sonny Bono stood up for him cause sonny and flip were close and hated coke heads. I will always respect him.
Add on #2: Richard Pryor is definitely the G.O.A.T. of Comedy. But any beef he had about Flip's content not being "Black" enough is hilarious hypocrisy. Pryor spent half his life married & chasing white women like it was going out of style. Point a finger at someone and 3 fingers and a thumb point back at you.
I'd like to thank Redd Foxx for saying Flip Wilson was his favorite comedian on national tv. By doing that, it helped to launch his career even further. Flip even had Redd Foxx on his show a few times.
That "Church of What's Happening Now" sketch with Foxx as The Reverend Pussyfoot Johnson 🤣🤣
@ItzSista47 That's right Redd was said to be a very generous person and in giving Flip a Shout out it only helped Flip gain more attention I loved Redd's show and Flip's show😊
We don't do that for one another anymore
Flip needs a biography AND a biopic. Legend.
He does have a biography and there was another paperback produced the first year of The Flip Wilson Show. But, Flip would’ve made for an interesting biopic.
True. I can see Jaime Foxx playing him
@@Cocoarunway Nah, not Jamie. A younger, thinner Keenan Thompson would have been good.
Necessary movie
Thats waht ive been thinking too❤ he was aheaf of gis yome got his shows and things back then and oened his own shit. Crazy that he’s not talked about more and tepreisented as much
Ashley, you were made to tell stories. 😀
Lol thank you
@@AshleySaysSo20 hey Ashely! I love your channel. Could you do a video about Bobby Brown
I couldn’t agree more! ☺️
She really was!
Ashley, I love you ❤
You tell the story with such expression and life storytelling is your purpose.
Whatever or wherever you choose to do with your channel I will support you 100% I could listen to you tell a story about nothing. Because you could turn it into something.
Great work AshleySaysSo! Add on fact: *Flip Wilson also was one of the first Black artist / producers who had controlling ownership of his TV show* . Since "The Flip Wilson Show" was his, he made most of the $$$ and chose his content. So when it was cancelled his money was good even as he went through personal problems. He spent his last years playing golf and not needing to perform for money but for his creative desires.
I will never forget FLIP! He was a sweetheart! Those other comedians were just hatin'! Flip didn't have to dance to black people's drum beat. I loved Richard Prior, as well, but he was wrong. Everyone doesn't the same assignment. Thank you for doing Flip, he was one of the greatest and he kept his comedy clean. They didn't need to come for Geraldine!!!
You said a whole powerful enlightenment with "Everyone doesnt do the same assignment" or along those lines of having the same assignment done differently. Bless you and thank you.💜
Geraldine Jones tripped me out 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I grew up watching flip Wilson, as a little white girl I don't ever remember my parents or anyone talking about why he didn't bring up race ,what a shame tho ppl always got something to complain about ,and yes he was so funny ,but our family always looked forward to his show !thank you hun
I loved the Flip Wilson show when I was a kid in the 70s.
Me and my dad would be plastered in front of the TV
and me and my mom Carol Burnett show
Me too Flip was the man
I truly still love Carol Burnett very much her show was so funny they were even laughing
I did, too!! It was hilarious!!
Ashley,
This made my mom so happy, she shared her stories of him, Flip said he would never be homeless so his very first check he bought the house in Malibu he lived in till the end. My mother's boyfriend at the time asked her who was her favorite star and she said Flip and he took her to his house because he knew him. They hung out at the beach with him she said he was so nice and hospitable and they were chilling on the beach-it was late at night and he got a phone call about his son being in a motorcycle accident and was in the hospital in Palm springs and so he left to go to the hospital and my mom and her bf left and sadly the son ended up paralyzed. My momma loves her some Flip Wilson... :)
Flip was a very intelligent business man,He knew how to keep his money.
"The devil made me do it!" We watched his show as a family every week. Great memories.
We had no idea he was paying his spot in the industry with that saying
We watched it also as a family
When that particular music would start., Geraldine was about to enter. 🤣🤣🤣
Flip Wilson crawled so Tyler Perry could run a marathon.
And Martin Lawrence
Amen.
Yep, Eddie Murphy, Martin Lawrence & Jamie Foxx too
You better tell it
Yes ma'am
Flip was low key cute 👀
Yes!!
I think he was high key handsome 🙌🏾
Yes, I never seen a young pic of him
High key
Yup!
I have that double-sided Flip Wilson doll and it still talks! I loved Flip!
Wow that is cool
Wonder what that's worth
@@paleriedove3333 not too much, unfortunately.
Don't lose it. I had one
"You don't know me honey!" Love Flip Wilson. Watched his show when I was a teenanger. Thank you Ms. Ashley for doing this one. Tyler Perry made Madea famous. R.I.P. Reed Foxx & Flip Wilson. 💕
I loved the Flip Wilson show. I met someone during my dating years and I told him how he is the only person I would be star crazy for. He said he would take me to meet him as he had worked with him on the show with preacher Leroy. I thought he was lying to me so he told me that Flip first pay check he bought his home in Malibu ..paid in full be cause he never wanted to be homeless again…well he drove me to his home ..it was late in the evening and I got to meet him. He invited us to return but he had to leave as his son was in a motorcycle accident in Palm Springs. Yes he had custody of all his children and his desire was to be a good parent and example. He is not forgotten… still loved by many.
I loved flip Wilson. Wasn’t he on Hollywood squares too. I’m going to watch his show now.
Can you do Paul Mooney being that he just passed away and a lot of people just don't understand that he's always been a big iconic just like Richard Pryor and I would love for you to do a video on Richard Pryor too
I loved him
Shakespeare plays was acted out on stage at one time with only men being playing female characters dressed in dresses. This dress wearing thing has had a long history. People are just petty. Flip was one of the pioneers of comedy and deserve the same respect and recognition as all the other black Comedy greats
The reason Shakepeare plays were men dressed as women because they refused to hire women to play those roles. That history is shady as hell
Lady, you are absolutely correct, however, as a black man, our dignity IS important.
Hi Ashley! Don't forget Flip Wilson also had a "Geraldine" doll with a pull string. And when you pulled the string, it would say funny one liners like "What you see is what you get" in his Geraldine Jones voice. I know because I had one.
Now That's a Collectors Item Do You Still Have it?
@@blkpanther11 Unfortunately, no. But if I knew then what I know now, I would have kept it.
Wow, I had one
Me too
I remember watching Flip Wilson when I was very little w/ my mom & aunties. We all loved him. Thank you Ashley.
I was a child during Flips tv show. Thank God, whenever his show was on my pops would faithfully watch it right along with my family. I really liked Flip Wilson and he deserves a movie about him or some sort of acknowledgement. So what he wore a dress acting as Geraldine. I liked his persona and he was sooo funny and clean, no cursing.
Good, clean humor. Don’t see that now, though.
For the life of me, I will never understand why Hollywood think it's cute & funny when a man dresses up like a woman. I truly believe in my heart of hearts that all that talk we hear about Hollywood & that iluminati devil, gay stuff is oh so real. Oh well, that's the world we live in I guess. This world will be everything Jesus said it would be. Anywho, Thanks Ashley for another great "Said It Session"! Hey guys let's keep on keepin' on with supporting this woman!!! Her channel is truly one of a kind & deserves our love, respect & support!!!
Thank you for the memories of Geraldine. I grew up watching Flip and you are so right, he was a funny man.
💜You weren’t preaching Ms. Ashley💜 You are a woman of Deep Conviction💜If you don’t stand for something..... you will fall for anything💜 Keep doin’ your Thang Ms. Ashley💜
Thank you Brenda🥰🥰
@@thenbwkmtkspktrminc.4613 Herself, probably. Guess that wasn’t clear.
This is literally my favorite channel!!! I’m praying you go higher😭😫🙌🏼🙌🏼
Mr. Flip Wilson was my favorite comedian, he was adorable and witty! Love him and miss him!
YESSSS I'm so glad you address the negative stigma that Flip started the men wearing dresses in comedy ordeal because honey you hit on the NAIL 🙌🏾✊🏾
Every time I think of Flip Wilson I remember that of Living Single and Sinclair screamed his name in the casino 😂😂😂😂
That was 1 of my fav episodes of Living Single 😹😹they need to reboot that show
Tom Hanks and Peter Scholari wore dresses on the 1980s show Bosom Buddies.
Thanks, Ashley, for featuring Flip one of my favs from back in the day...I was sad when took his show off the air.
girl when I say I have been BINGE watching your videos i’ve been BINGE watching chile. We missed you!! 💓💓
Can u do John Amos from Good Times?
Im here for that👀🍿☕
@@kayshawnsimmons6822 me 3....
someone said that he was once arrested for doing gay sex at a health club ??
Child ya'll don't know what your asking for lol 😆😂🤣that tea might start a fire in Inglewood all the way to New York city 😂🤣😅
@@annetteharmon6194 😄
Thank you so much Ashley for reminding us how brilliant Flip was and bringing back happy memories of Miss Geraldine Jones , going to be catching up with some old sketches for the rest of the day , also love from your Australian fans 💋
I love watching videos about vintage scandals. 🍿
Me too👀🍿☕
Loved Flip Wilson as Geraldine. That was the blueprint for Martin’s Sheneneh and Jamie’s Wanda!
I felt that way too until I found out that they have to do that to denounce our CREATOR and show allegiance to the evil powers that be in HOLLYWOOD because that is who they turn to for fortune and fame and THE MOST HIGH sees cross dressing as an abomination, as per scripture.
"What you see is what you get."
@@skaijohni2809 Oh please! They are making fun of women who are really like the characters they play. We've all seen women like that in real life, at one time in our lives. Or someone we know has. It's art imitating life. Nothing more, nothing less.
The white man put all the male entertainers in dresses if they want that bag, flip was not the first and sadly he was not the last. They gotta wear a dress for massa
@@skaijohni2809 I know for a fact that men of any race that put on a dress, has already sold their souls to GOAT LUCY. THEY ALSO SOLD OUT THEIR OWN RACE
Flip Wilson was a Great Comic, he deserves more Credit For his Work!
Good evening fellow Scandalites 🥰🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️☕️☕️☕️☕️
❤💐👀🍿☕Good Evening
One of my favorite comedians besides red foxx richard pryor chapelle & eddie murphy..... Great video like always🔥
Always on time mama!!!!
I'm a big Flip Wilson fan, and I will never forget him.📺
Sometimes when you come up after you hit rock bottom you sometimes do better than before you hit it hard.
I loved his humor and antics! Legend! 😄♥️
Tom Hanks, Jim Carry, Robin Williams, John Ritter, David Spade (And dozens more) all wore dresses ....
All white. Its normal for white men to wear dresses. They have been wearing dresses since the Roman and Greek days of the chariots and public stoning
@@kayshawnsimmons6822 Duh. Ashley asked us to name some white men who wore dresses. Hence my response. 🙄🤦🏽♀️
Very well done Ashley. I can remember watching a comedian named Benny Hill wearing dresses, and so many other before Flip Wilson.
My brother use to love 🇬🇧 Benny Hill's show.
@@renettegordley6673 lol me too Benny was funny
I'm a 75 year old woman from the UK. I remember Flip Wilson with great affection. My favourite routine was his biblical one where he told the story of Noah, building the Ark. Noah told the people:
Boat rides, Saturday. Isss goanna rain! He was such a witty man, I'm sad to hear how he ended up 😢
For years I have wondered what happened to Flip Wilson. Thank you for this. I am 62 and l remember and enjoyed Flip's comedy. He was huge and then there was nothing about him. He should be celebrated for the great talent and the pioneer he was.
Yay been missing you girl I clicked so fast
Hey luv!
Girl same my phone went awffffff at work Chile the way I clicked on it
@@KariTheBarb lol I was at work to when I got the notification
@@AshleySaysSo20 hey hun thanks for all you do I love ❤️ your videos
Ashley, can you do Lou Rawls? Flip Wilson just reminded me of him.
Omg he did
Omg me tooo lol
Ohhhh good one!!! Rawls
Yes Please!
Lou is a Chicago Legend and Favorite son. I would love to see Ashley do his story
FYI' Flip Wilson also dated Mary Wilson of the Supremes! Flip asked her hand in marriage. Read Mary book Supremes Faith.
🤔I never thought of the dress controversy that way........ True!!!!
Grabs popcorn. Flip Wilson was a mess LOL
@13:57😂😂😂😂 #TheJetsons
I still love the Flip Wilson Show! That Geraldine skit still keeps me ROTF🤣
CBS made ‘Charlie and Co as an answer to NBC’s ‘The Cosby Show’
Ashley, another great video and I 100% agree what you said about the dresses.
As we now know how the industry treats black comedians and why the heads of studios make black men wear the dress as a way of Buck Breaking
Ashley I loved the Flip Wilson show!! Thanks for the upload!! Say So Squad!! ❤️
What I don’t understand is why do Black people feel like they need a spokesman. One person can’t end racism by himself. He was a comedian and not a community activist.
To answer your question, we're always looking for heroes and saviors.
Had a lot of respect for Flip Wilson ,sad his personal life ended that way. Thank you for sharing his story.
Well Ashley you did a great job! Mr. Wilson is one of my birthday twins and we enjoyed his show as a family when I was growing up. I'm glad you addressed the "dress issue " because I've tried to point out to people the same points that you made , well done it may not change minds but perhaps people should research for themselves instead of jumping on bandwagons.
Some people, especially entertainers, can be very envious of another entertainer, and they will use their popularity, to try and bring down a fellow artist.its sort of like the crab in the bucket syndrome. Some of these same people that were complaining about Flip wearing the dresses, would laugh their asses off, at Milton Berle, doing the same damn thing...
Ooo wee I know this is going to be a good one. Hey Auntie Ashley!
Couldn't find nothing boo smh
How could anyone forget the great Flip Wilson? He was hilarious, clean, cute, and with no malice in his comedy. That's why people from all walks of life loved him. Remember Queen Isabella saying, "Chris gonna find Ray Charles"? That was a classic. My family has a special fondness for Flip. He was a celebrity judge for a photo caption contest hosted by a local St. Louis TV show. My mom WON the grand prize of a 1965 Ford Mustang!
Just in time for dinner❤️
Heyyyyyyy Cuzzin! Lol 🌹
Keep up with what you're doing Ashley. I love your channel because you talk about the old school tea that the old heads like to either forget or take to the grave. This channel is so great. I've been tripping my parents and grandparents out with all the tea I've been spilling. Keep it up. You're funny, informative and very enjoyable to watch.
The Devil Made Me Do it. Lmao 🤣 Great Segment Ashley.
Alright they NEEDED to hear that soap box at the end cause it was FACTS. The black community can be incredibly ignorant at times and it’s the sad truth. The community as a whole isn’t hurting from a man in a dress-dresses don’t even have a gender or sexuality if we being realistic. Man decided to say dresses are “meant for women” when in reality, it’s a piece of fabric. Who gives a damn who wears it 😂
Ashley your honest
delivery of this story is appreciated.
The dress argument to me is really weak. Cause in the end it’s a matter of what the individual is willing to do. When Milton Berle put on the dress it certainly didn’t hurt his career. I think it’s jealousy all the way around when a black man darns the dress for laughs and the project becomes a hit. Case in point Jamie Fox and Martin Lawrence..very successful.
If a man has to wear a dress to be funny or a laugh he just lowered his integrity.
I'm glad you did Flip Wilson. I loved watching his show growing up and always wondered what happened to him. I hope he knew in the end that he still had fans that loved him.
I remember getting a Flip Wilson doll for Christmas. You pulled the string, and it would say, "I smell a rat and its coming from yoooour direction!". It says couple of other things, but that would take me it.
Eddie Murphy dressing as a woman did some of the funniest routines ever! He did multiple women too. On SNL he and Joe Piscopo even did regular drag queen routines and I don't remember people complaining about what he was doing. It was so funny!
Nowadays what is done in the dark is coming to the light, so now WE KNOW why they do that and it's not cool. You see Madea done fell all the way OFF!
Because black ppl and black women are used to being the joke until we get tired of being the joke...
@@skaijohni2809 💯
Ashley SisBoo have you did Lou Rawls. One of my friends said that she was her God Father. She was telling me all about him.
Ohhhh what she tell you! Yup I'm knewsy /
Yay! I am so excited! I haven’t even watched it yet! Thank you!!
Best episodic show on TH-cam hands down
Milton Berle wore a dress for comedy. I was a small child when Flip Wilson was on TV and I loved him. He was very funny and talented. Today, comedians are not funny.
I agree they really aren't.
I agree with you, Ashley! Flip Wilson was a very talented comedian in his own right and wasn't the only black man to wear a dress and didn't start it. Like the black principal of my mother's high school (back in the 1930s) used to say, "Colored people are like a bucket of crawdads. When one climbs and just about reaches the top, the others reach up and pull him back down."" Just makes me sick!!
I'm here for it!!!
I've been refreshing all day like where is she at yall!
I’m here for Ashley’s Soap Box 😂❤️ I completely agree!
Thank you for one of my fav's I grew up with in the 70's. Loved me some Geraldine... Could you please add Redd Foxx, to you roster of good stories....
We just lost Paul Mooney I just became a fan a few years ago. I never knew much about him. Please please please do him soon! 🙏
Hi Kimberly I Hope She Does His Story As Well
@@blkpanther11 yes I’ve heard some tea on him and I just would like to hear more about his background
Thanks for the motivation! I REALLY needed to hear that. Your Channel's just "God sent." #Ashleysaysso
You're so welcome! We all need to be uplifted and to uplift ourselves and others🥰🥰
Man I loved watching Flip Wilson as a kid. Suprised that I remembered because I was 4 when that show went off which I didn't realize until you mentioned it. Its a shame that many people don't remember him as he was one of the greats of his time.
I absolutely love Flip Wilson ❤️ and his show back in the day. Very talented performer. You could tell he had a big heart. Extremely likable. And he seemed to fall in love with all of his guests. Saw him in an episode of 227 too. He really was THE man! Maybe he had too much light ❤️ for his time which could explain all the hate that came his way. Thank God for TH-cam where anyone can experience this legend’s talent.
Ashley get so excited when your alerts pop up!!! And Flip Wilson was one of my absolute favorites!! I desperately needed a good laugh today!! 😃😃
Flip Wilson brings back sentimental memories for me. He was a black man whose show my family sat down to watch together. We never consider the demographics.
9:41 I always thought he looked like ex Dallas Cowboy Tony Dorsett.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
THANK YOU for making that point about men in dresses. I'm so sick of people acting like there's some gay agenda like they're blind and dumb.... because blacks are not the only ones doing it.
Keep doing what you’re doing Ashley by telling us these stories you’re way because you’re doing an amazing job. You can’t please everyone so forget those who gave you a thumbs down. We need the black stories cause nobody is doing it this way and there’s more to tell. Thank you from California..smooches
Thank you for honoring him and helping us remember!!
Ashley Sayso you are a multi talent woman, you are multi task the way you do your stories. Changing in & out of character and dialogue. Amazing impressions. I like how you say Chillld, A real sister. Keep Up the good work my sister and all the Success 2 you. 🌹🌹🌹
YES!!! YOU WERE MADE FOR WHAT YOU DO. KEEP IT COMING GIRL!!!💗💗😍
THANK YOU
Funny people like to make people laugh and that’s that on that.
Flip Wilson was a pioneer to comedy forever no matter what he did.
I’m naturally funny too 😂 I know exactly what you’re describing 🤦🏾♀️
Flip minded his own business. The crab barrel was right around the corner. Not much has changed. Palimony came out of Lee Marvin and Michelle Triola break up and pay out. California... Situations probably stressed him out.
Ashley, your company, your storytelling, bring me much needed company! I actually find myself saying, out loud, things like, " NOO he/she did not !" Among other comments of surprise! May God Bless and keep you and yours! Much love to you!!!
"Great Job on Flip Wilson, now how about one on Lola Falana?" "I think she would be a great one for you to do!" Peace.
