      FLIP WILSON died in 1996 at age 64F lip Wilson, the popular comedian who became the first black entertainer to be the host of a successful weekly variety show on network television, died Wednesday night at his home in Malibu, Calif. He was 64.

      The cause was liver cancer, his assistant, Angie Hill, said.

      Mr. Wilson was best known for his portrayals of such outrageous, over-the-top characters as the Reverend Leroy of the Church of What's Happening Now and Geraldine, the sassy but proud black woman whose flamboyance, enthusiasm and screeching, high-pitched voice were recognized by millions of Americans. Her trademark quips -- ''When you're hot, you're hot; when you're not, you're not,'' ''The devil made me do it'' and ''What you see is what you get'' -- became national catch phrases, part of everyone's vocabulary in the 1970's, when Mr. Wilson's variety show became one of America's best-watched programs.

      Thank you so much for the feedback.
      Crazy how it all came flooding back with just a few catch phrases. I watched that variety show a few times now that I think about it. My uncle had me watching it while he was looking after me...
      Thanks again!
