Reverend Elmo (Richard Pryor) and Reverend Leroy (Flip Wilson) Flip Wilson Show 18Oct74 

🔥 💯 🔥

Don't forget Redd Foxx

Yes! Indeed 👏🏾👏🏾🙏🏾😇💝😂 they were I still cry laughing watching their videos!😅

There were good ones back then: Bill Cosby, and Redd Foxx have to be included

I like Richard pryor

Far as I know

😅​@@beatricewoods8377

Perfect, perfect line, and delivered perfectly.

@@michaelmercury1256 Right! One of the best lines in the skit!

Those furrowed eyebrows and the look of sincere seriousness as he said the line cracked me up. All through the skit Pryor's mannerisms in the background were golden. He was completely immersed in the role.

That line took my breath for a minute cause I was laughing so hard 🤣

I know right!!! LMAO!!!

I have never seen, the Flip Wilson Show on TV, I only heard his records played by my father, who loved "Black American Culture".

I agree 💯 % that Richard Pryor & Flip Wilson will continue to be the best comedians of ALL times True Legends. And I miss them but their comedy lives forever. Thank you for this feed.

God yes The Flip Wilson Show! you didn't want to miss it! No taping to watch later!

You are so right! The greatest of all times

I agree but we not old just wiser don't get old but clothes and money the money still spends and the clothes coming back in style 😎😉☺😍😄👍🥰🖐👋💯💃🙂🙃

I would have liked to have seen, Flip Wilson and Richard Pryor in a buddy movie, they work well together

Flip was as funny as any comedian I’ve ever seen. And a lot funnier than most. He’s in the top five for me. And his show was a jewel. On top of that he was a very nice Dude.

Yes, Flip was off the cuff right out funny 😆

I loved Flip Wilson and now that I'm looking at him here it reminds me that I believe Martin Lawrence not only looks something like Flip but I believe he modeled his comedy act after Flip

Flip catered to the networks, Richard did not. He stayed true to himself

Surely a master of oration, even a slight slip would just glide by unnoticed.

He did his own comedy ,I use to see him writing ✍🏽 before he go on stage, I was a waitress at the same club in Miami ,50’s, and he closed his eyes while performing☺️, he didn’t want to look at the audience he told me 🤩. Sweet person . I asked Flip why? He wasn’t doing Geraldine then.🙏🏾💕

It was easy for him. That's how he spoke on his earlier comedy albums.

@Elizabeth Brower Me too(I'm in my seventies). And, before his scandals, the Cosby records were good also. Later I saw them on tv.

This clip wasn't funny though

I still remember watching 10k pyramid or some game show MANY years ago (seems like 30 years ago) and Flip had to come up with a poem about kids on the spot. About 30 seconds later he said, "When your kid is not walking or talking, you worry, you fret, and you frown. But when they turn two, its all you can do, to get them to shut up and sit down." So impressive that I never forgot it.

And Red Foxx

I agree, two COMEDY LEGENDS!!! Just Saying!!!!

*all 3 Sagittarius🥰*

Two outstanding comedians and actors.

David Chappelle, seems to be the current comic genius, I hope he goes further

@@michaelmercury1256 Dave is great, but not quite on this level. Richard and Flips creativity was sky high.

@@JayBelafonte Hopefully Dave Chappelle, can make his way.

Amen 🙏🏾👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽🤩!

PREACH PREACHER !!!!

Glad to have an opportunity to see their work. Hopefully sketches will be found.

A kid set in front of the TV wIting on Flip to come on in early yrs.if u hadn't done your hm work it was ok because it was Flip and Mom watched also till he flipped into a dress for his act.mom loved Flip not his dress.legends we love memories for sure..they had jokes case closed...

Amen

💯

@@michaelmercury1256 p

Lol I can't.

Unforgetable, she was.

we used to use our Bigma' and Bigda wigs stocking makeup and old clothes to dress up for Halloween and my older brother loved acting like Geraldine... hilarious memories Glad I came across this

Watch out!!

I did a good impression of Flip, people would laugh 😂😂😂! I worked in a club where he was performing. He would sit by him self before showtime and write what ever he was going to say, I asked him why did he close his eyes 👀, because he didn’t want to look out at the audience, not to be distracted. Yet he landed a live TVShow. He was working in Miami in the fifties 🎉. Tell Geraldine don’t fight the Feeling 😂😂😂!

Chris gonna FIND Ray Charles

SOO FLIP WILSON IS DEAD

Legacy 😮❤❤❤❤

Exactly - pure skills! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

@@kellyalexander3474 & others...Aye, back when it was Real.

@@BrotherPatriot Indeed! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🔥🔥🔥

Far as I know 😂

That hits the nail on the head. Great stories, so well told..

Absolutely!

@Michael Kñight Yeah... Richard Pryor's "Mudbone" character could preach on anything in life. When I see him on RU-vid, I cry bcz I miss him. There are no words to describe Mr. Pryor except hilarious!

Amen

.....and more Biblically accurate

Yes they would!

Yes Lord!! 🙏

Totally!

I agree, these two comedians would tear up the REAL TRUTH in which we live!!! Just Saying!!!

@@paulinemills6684 Absolutely!

Like a duck to water, so natural and one of his best personas, as Reverend Leroy.

One of the greatest movies EVER

That is something to behold, manoevuring through the difficulties, that beset him, to still create a great showing..

I absolutely loved that show when I was little. Too innocent to know about racism, he just brought me joy.

Had to wear a dress to get it so it doesn't count.

@@benyah3390 You must be young. Maybe today it wouldn't count, but back then. He was a G and everyone knew it. Dress or no dress.

@@irisseer2773 well seeing as I don't acknowledge "g(s)", he may be *your* "g"; but he nor anyone else, is *my* "g"; dress or no dress. You can have it.

“. . .the retirement plan is eternal life.”

Actually God has a lot of humor- I experienced this several times - the second preacher is right on 😂👌

Some beautiful responses to your kind comment.

I’m glad I listened to the end. You assessment was spot on! He truly did bring it full circle to the gift that is available to those who believe in His promise.

@@sewingintrifocals-alisonde7778 b

It was meant to be funny but.... One hell of a sermon! 💯

Wow... that's sad.

Great 👍 sermon and message!

that was so good💯💯

No, it wasn't an actual religious sermon. It was part of a comedy sketch.

I have not seen a bad Reverend Leroy sketch by Flip Wilson, in his element and Richard Pryor matches him up very well.

I would love to see, a top list of best comedy duo skits for these great comedians.

Yeh. We might be old but we got all the good stuff, good times.

I'm not going for the next time

I am glad to have found it, as I have not seen this sketch on youtube. I hope to find others or cause other people to dig out their own clips...

Indeed! Thank you for posting it!

I haven't seen any Flip Wilson videos in a while. I loved his show must've been around 1970 it was hilarious "here come da judge"...lol

Me too. I mention him often. Funniest ever. Other people my age who says they don't remember him- I usually tell them -then their parents must have had no sense of humor. He had all the best quest stars surprising us with their ability at comedy. The original SNL./variety show. And the first ShaNaeNae aka Miss Bernadine.

q

Sounds like a fun party

Loved FLIP AN RICHARD MISS THEM IM OLD SCHOOL

Forever Loved

Sorry to hear of their feuding, it aint easy at the top.

@@michaelmercury1256 they was never feuding he loved Richard Pryor and was proud he was the second one to get his own t.v. show . They just did things a little differently.

@@kaleahcollins4567 I love a happy story, many thanks for keeping that.

Television in the 1970’s was the best. Good Times, Richard Pryor show, Sanford and Son, Soul Train, The Jefferson’s, All in the Family… plus all the super great music groups made everything super great….sorry you missed it

@@kaleahcollins4567 I think Richard called Flip a Tom or Coon while on his show. Nothing crazy

Not true,the Jesus movement, Hal Lindsey. IT was beautiful a real revival.

I'm amateur with my cell phone. Unaware who highlighted comment but that's wonderful support

Great sermon.

These guys were great, Love them now and then.

Very well spotted, that is my favourite part, it is so well built up, sheer mastery at 7:13

🤣 Well said. Poor Lions.

@@henrybrowne7248 this was right as the AFL/NFL merger,it was big news and a lot of teams built new stadiums: Three Rivers in Pittsburgh, Riverfront in Cincinnati, Superdome in NOLA, Meadowlands in NY NJ, the Lions finally built a new stadium in Pontiac, the Silverdome.

@@aarondigby9859 Ah, I remember it so well. That was right around my indoctrination into NFL football . . The game is tremendous now, but it was great back then too--just not as much parity and a few other differences. I missed the two first Super Bowls but watched in shock as the Jets upset the Colts, a game which bitterly divided my circle of others. I was on the losing side in that one while the Jets fans gloated gleefully.

Could've been talking about the Rams and Lions Football team. Rams Won the Superbowl and The Lions, well let's just say they still have no place to go..

I do hope, that more interviews and sketches are found, I come to love them, more for their joy.

I never recall either of these gentleman being on a vendetta to embarass another man's wife. Still, they were as funny as could be.

Truly, the spats, help show off Flip Wilson's moves around the pulpit, more so in early Reverend Leroy sketches

I love the spats, too. And Flip dancing at the end.

😆🙈🙈🙈🙈that tickled me

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Comedy at it's best 👌🏾

However brothers and sisters I did not venture down that dark alleyway for it might not have been the voice of God

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Thank you for hitting the nail, squarely on the head, on many levels.

@@michaelmercury1256 Absolutely, and that goes for Flip Wilson too - forget to mention him!!

In the 70's when Richard Pryor was putting out hot hot hot comedy albums my girlfriend and I wore T-shirts with this printed on them..... IS IT SOMETHING I SAID? We wore them to the comedy club and the only reaction we got was ppl yelling at us to SIT DOWN! oh well. I miss Richard very very much.

Definitely, would have been a fun trip. Did Flip Wilson ever appear on Richard Pryor TV series?

Covered by the Lord, a great balm to seek.

Great and powerful message, well crafted..

I am glad Richard Pryor is so prolific and has a range of work to seek out.

@@michaelmercury1256 My fav albums: THAT NIGGA'S CRAZY and IS IT SOMEYHING I SAID. Man those were the days when free range comedy wasn't subjected to Overly Sensitive Censors.

Definitely a leader and firestarter.

@@michaelmercury1256he the real king Richard.

As I look more into Richard Pryor's work, the range and genius of the man, is being revealed to me.

M to it

I do hope more of their great work, is brought to light.

welll....I don't now about "at their finest" but def a couple of "Legends"

@@darnelltheartist Referencing their skills as comedians.

@@luluseals2767 I know. Just saying this is not even close to either one's best.

Great memories for me, my father loved Flip Wilson and played his records.

Nothing to complain about in this sermon.

Well talented doing great work, love the crowd call and response.

Nothing wrong with getting old Means you're alive

What a beautiful and joyful comment. Many thanks for the lovely words, for these amazing comedians.

@@michaelmercury1256 rrrrrtrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrtttt

God Bless that.

They werent related.

@@crivket1233 and you are clueless, bless your heart.

He wrote it or paul mooney

Thanks, I will check that out.

This the skit to the movie Paul mooney n richard pryor wrote this skit

Which way is up was hilarious lol

Hello Margaret How are you doing today?

I am glad the best of Flip Wilson's Geraldine character is out there, always looking for a new clip of that lady.

Great film

Loose lips sinks ships🙂

@@k.p.6475 "Bubbla-bubbla-bubbla"

I do enjoy melody of his voice and his phrases, which are very pleasing to me

Seems like a life's journey, following the great work of these comedic legends. Hopefully more jewels, will be found for us to enjoy.

Thank you keep it real

Cosby never wore the dress

@@marquitamarina1486 if you're too listen/watch all the aforementioned comic geniuses you'd laugh yourself totally insane. That's too much, too much. FRFR

Sounds like a great time was had.

I pass it to my pastor, for tips, but thinking twice.

You are lucky. We only heard Filp Wilson on records in the UK. My Dad loved American Black Culture.

I love a sermon and this is one of the best, so skilfully worked.

And longer than many today!

I do like this Reverend Leroy sketch, it seems to have more of a message.

@@michaelmercury1256 It sure does!! 😇

I like the sermon and delivery.

Lovely and nostalgic.

Definitely, he hit the spot more, than missed. I cannot find a bad or weak Reverend Leroy sketch, at the pulpit. The pulpit is a great prop.

To this day I use Flip Wilson in a theological lesson, but it’s not Flip Wilson as a preacher but Flip Wilson as Geraldine. Responsibility for what you do is not the Devil’s, it’s yours. The Devil did not make you buy that dress. He did a great job of teaching that.

They worked so well, together. I do like a pool game they played for money, where Richard Pryor, came out on top.

TOO WELL !!!!

Say so👏🏾👏🏾

Please read Daniel.

Amen 🌺 🙏, A great message spoken by Reverend Leroy and Reverend Elimo, Jesus Christ got us covered 🙏 with love and joyous peace and grace. God got us covered "! 🙏 Amen 🌺 Brother's and Sister's

Hilarious! 😂😂

Real and on point

Truly said RIP, is all you can hope.

nice anecdote..i did not know that, thanks..hilarious

😃 Those black pastors in the Baptist church usually say "yes sir yes sir" but Richard Pryor flipped that shit and made it sound funny as hell.

@@johnbanks4761 The cool thing was Flip just went right on as if that was RP's line. Flip was awesome. He did a Geraldine skit with Bing Crosby that is funny af. Bing was the perfect foil for Flip's character.

@@MeneerHerculePoirot yeah they could adlib back in the day ..and run with it

HILARIOUS 😂😂😂😂😂😂

I love his work and have loved to see him in other projects

I very much enjoy, their work and would have like to know about their interaction between each other.
