    On what comedy show was there an alter ego named Geraldine?

    Question #23125. Asked by jazz2me. (Oct 10 02 12:21 AM)

    		'Flip Wilson was an outstanding performer and one of the funniest people I ever knew.'
    --Milton Berle, comedian

    With a wig, high heels and a sassy falsetto, Flip Wilson sashayed into America's living rooms, spicing up the 1970s with burlesque humor and introducing a rare black voice to prime-time audiences.

    After getting his start on 'The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson' and 'Laugh-In,' Wilson landed his own variety show in 1970. 'The Flip Wilson Show,' with repeat appearances of Wilson's female alter-ego Geraldine, was a hit on NBC for the next four years. After a couple of unsuccessful TV projects in the mid 1980s, Wilson retired from show business to raise his children out of the spotlight.
