Imitated Flip in 3 Different Episodes.

1. Getting up the Rent

2.Cross Town Buses

3.A Real Cool Job

I'm referring to when the Michael character would snap his fingers and shuffle his feet like Flip would do on his Show.

Only Flip Wilson Watchers would know what I'm talking about

Sounds more like the writers liked Flip Wilson.

Or the mere fact that Flip was one of those celebs who was well known during that era. I mean, watching GT during its first run, hearing Flip's name, I knew instantly who that was. Nowadays, if people watched GT, they'd be scratching their heads probably wondering who that is.

Oh. Considering GT love to reference CBS shows, I thought Flip was also on CBS. But, Flip was such a star at that time, I guess it didn't matter what network he was on.

Oh, I thought you meant you missed the marathon weekend because you weren't around to watch it or record it.

I remember my brother would watch Flip Wilson, but I was just not into it.
