Over the past century, few entertainers have achieved the legendary status of William H. Cosby Jr. His successes span five decades and virtually all media … remarkable accomplishments for a kid who emerged from humble beginnings in a Philly project. In the 1960s, his stand-up act was a coast-to-coast sensation, spawning a string of hilarious, best-selling comedy albums which went on to win eight Gold Records, five Platinum records and five Grammy Awards. His role on NBC’s “I Spy” made him the first African-American to co-star in a dramatic series breaking television’s racial barrier and winning three Emmy Awards. His first sitcom “The Bill Cosby Show” ran on NBC for two seasons from 1969 to 1971. In the 1980s, he again rocked the television world with his second sitcom “The Cosby Show” which was a gentle, whimsical and hugely successful series that single-handedly revived the family sitcom … and rescued NBC. Then in the 1990s, he hosted a syndicated revival of the classic Groucho Marx game show “You Bet Your Life” and as well starred in his third sitcom “Cosby” which aired on CBS for four seasons. The show co-starred Phylicia Rashad, his onscreen wife from “The Cosby Show”. From 1998 to 2000, he hosted CBS’s “Kids Say the Darndest Things.” With hit films including Uptown Saturday Night and best-selling books such as Fatherhood, Bill Cosby is quite simply a national treasure with the unique ability to touch people’s hearts … while at the same time, making them laugh.
