Your memory is pretty good. I recognized the Flip Wilson stage as soon as the video started playing.
The same video is posted on this page, with attribution for the Flip Wilson Show:

In the course of working on a small project I searched for and found a
clip of Sammy Davis Jr singing Candyman. There are two or three, but
my attention was drawn to the one linked to below, not because it is
the best (it is not) but because I have an overpowering feeling of
remembering watching this exact performance when it was originally
broadcast. I am not an expert youtuber - perhaps the original
identifying information giving the program is there and I am not
seeing it, or maybe someone here has a good enough memory to supply
it? Mostly what I see on the video is that it was part of some retro
show on VH1.
The video says it was from 1972, and I want to say it was the Flip
Wilson Show (I think they had that 360 degree stage on that show).
What I really remember is Sammy saying that he waited 40 years to get
a #1 record - but maybe he said this a lot when introducing this song
that year, so I guess it could have been a number of different show.
