    During the 1960s, Wilson became a regular at the Apollo Theater in Harlem and was a favorite guest on The Tonight Show, Laugh-In, and The Ed Sullivan Show. In 1970, Wilson got his own television program, The Flip Wilson Show, debuting on NBC. He played host to many African-American entertainers, including The Jackson Five, and performed in comedy sketches. He greeted all his guests with the "Flip Wilson Handshake," which started with hand slaps and progressed to hip-bumps. George Carlin was one of the show's writers along with him. His characters included Reverend Leroy, pastor of the Church of What’s Happening Now; and his most popular character, Geraldine, whose line "The devil made me do it" became a national expression.

    In 1970, Wilson won a Grammy Award for his comedy album The Devil Made Me Buy This Dress.

    A routine titled "Columbus," from the album Cowboys and Colored People, brought Wilson to Hollywood industry attention and would lead to the development of his own television show. In this bit, Wilson re-tells the story of Christopher Columbus from a slightly 'urban' perspective, in which Columbus finally convinces the Spanish monarchs to fund his voyage by noting that discovering America means that he can thus also discover Ray Charles. Hearing this, Queen Isabella, sounding not unlike Wilson's celebrated "Geraldine," says that "Chris" can have "all the money you want, honey — You go find Ray Charles!!" When Columbus departs from the dock, Isabella is there, testifying to one and all that "Chris gonna find Ray Charles!!"

    The Flip Wilson Show aired through 1974, generating high ratings and popularity among viewers and winning strong critical acclaim, with an unprecedented 11 Emmy Award nominations during its run, winning two. Wilson also won a Golden Globe award for Best Actor in a Television Series.

    Wilson went on to make guest appearances on numerous TV comedies and variety shows, such as Here's Lucy starring Lucille Ball and The Dean Martin Show among others. Ed Sullivan invited Wilson to perform several times on his popular Sunday night show, and Wilson would later single out Sullivan as providing his biggest career boost. Wilson acted in TV and theatrical movies including Uptown Saturday Night and The Fish that Saved Pittsburgh. In 1976, he appeared as the Fox in a television musical adaptation of Pinocchio, starring Sandy Duncan in the title role and Danny Kaye as Geppetto, with songs by Laugh-In composer Billy Barnes.

    Little bit of a hubbub brewing over a collection of science writing aggregated by Richard Dawkins that includes 3 women authors out of 83 total. He has a rationale (which I still find shortsighted), but his condescending response to the concern over the lack of female representation is alarming, I think. [scienceblogs.com]

    I had no idea there was a #tips page. How exactly does that work? Like, where do you type the tip you'd like to submit? Sorry I am still figuring out how these things work :(

    Attention: Commenters!

    That big text box on the front page that says "Let your fingers do the talking" next to a button that says "Share" is not a search tool! It is your direct connection to #tips. Whatever you type there will go directly to the tips hash. The search bar is in the upper right corner of the Jezebel page.

    I read the tips hash fairly often, and there are usually a few interesting links buried in there. For a while, I just thought that people were, well, dumb for putting only the word "gaga" as a tip, or "jersey shore" or "tiger woods" or whathaveyou. But no, I think those are just failed search attempts.

    So, please, feed the tips hash. Include good links with succinct explanations. Even if the editors don't extrapolate on your finds, some of us commenters are enjoying them just the same. And please don't try to use it as a search tool.

    @Penny: Twitter was the first place I saw it as a "thing." Although, on Twitter, it's super useful for wading through the plethora of information. I haven't quite figured it out here.

    @Plum-Pie: The athletes and sports teams. They are so influential and their support moves this issue to a stage not easily accessible by people who consider violence against women to be an important issue.

    Today in Canada is the anniversary of the Montreal massacre. A man murdered many women in an act of misogyny.

    As a reaction, Canada has a national day of reflection on violence against women and misogyny. Which is today.

    While I'm thrilled Tracie is off having acrobatic honeymoon sex, I'm sad she's not watching "Shatner's Raw Nerve" on the Bio Channel, as The Shat is interviewing Judge Judy and it's AWESOME. Shat's show is a talk show, and it may be the best talk show ever.

    Tomorrow will mark 20 years since the Polytechnique massacre in Montreal. Before school shootings were common, 14 women were shot basically because they were women. The killer felt that women entering the engineering school had essentially ruined his life. He corralled the men outside the classroom before he executed all these bright young women. Tragic, and not least of all because of the distressing misogyny of the act. See here for some discussion, including how some of the survivors coped (and failed to cope) in the aftermath...
