What You See is What You Get – The Flip Wilson Story
Written by Jill Ross

It’s been said that comedy is born out of pain, and Crelow “Flip” Wilson Jr., had his fair share of both. Born into poverty in Jersey City, his mother abandoned the family, which began a tortured history of abuse as he was placed in numerous foster homes, ultimately landing him in a reform school.
This story of triumph, overcoming the odds, hard work, and how one man pushed past his pain to become the consummate entertainer. Flip Wilson evolves from the “Chitlin’ Circuit” to having a prime-time television variety show. We also meet some of the talented people he met and worked with along the way.
