One of America’s most beloved comedians of all time, Bill Cosby has captivated generations of fans with his comedy routines, iconic albums and bestselling books (“I Didn’t Ask to Be Born but I’m Glad I Was”, “Fatherhood”, “Little Bill” series). His comedy transcends age, gender and cultural barriers. Cosby broke television’s racial barrier with “I Spy”, becoming the first African American to costar on a television series while winning three consecutive Emmys. He created and produced the Emmy-winning cartoon “Fat Albert” and the “Cosby Kids”, which began airing in the 1970’s and was made into a film in 2004. Perhaps Cosby’s greatest contribution to American entertainment and culture is “The Cosby Show”, which dominated the number one spot for years, earning nearly unanimous critical praise.
The former Navy serviceman’s illustrious list of accomplishments includes roles on the children’s educational show “Electric Company” and creating and producing the Emmy award winning “Little Bill”, which is based on his bestselling book series. Cosby has received the Kennedy Center Honors, the Presidential Medal of Freedom (America’s highest civilian honor) and the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor and the Marian Anderson Award.
