is a new series that proves the Flip-side is top-side for the best black and white entertainers in show business starring Flip Wilson as himself - Freddie Johnson, the swinging bachelor - not to mention Miss Geraldine Jones, the swinging chick and this week's guests Gina Lollobrigida, John Sebastian and Bill Cosby

Take two of America's leading comedians, add Gina Lollobrigida as nurse and air hostess, then a touch of singing idol John Sebastian, and serve immediately. Delicious.
