  • One of Wilson's best known characters was the sassy Geraldine, introduced in variety show sketches and starring on an album The Devil Made Me Buy This Dress before appearing on The Flip Wilson Show and other projects. The album used her catchphrase, "the devil made me do it," to justify an impulsive decision. Miss Piggy quotes the line in the January 08, 1982 edition of The Muppets comic strip. Wilson himself would continue to use the line even when not playing Geraldine.
