Bill Cosby

Bill Cosby is, by any standards, one of the most influential stars in America today. Whether it be through concert appearances or recordings, television or films, commercials or education, Bill Cosby has the ability to touch people’s lives. His humor often centers on the basic cornerstones of our existence, seeking to provide an insight into our roles as parents, children, family members, and men and women. Without resorting to gimmickry or lowbrow humor, Bill Cosby’s comedy has a point of reference and respect for the trappings and traditions of the great American humorists such as Mark Twain, Buster Keaton and Jonathan Winters.
Cosby’s I Spy role as co-star broke the racial barrier of a dramatic television series. Before the series ended, he had won three Emmy Awards. The 1984-92 run of the Emmy and Golden Globe winning The Cosby Show and his books Fatherhood and Time Flies established new benchmarks on how success is measured. In addition, Cosby has earned five Grammy Awards for best comedy album. Nine of his albums have been certified Gold Records and six have been certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). His lifelong contributions to American culture were recognized with a Kennedy Center Honor in 1998 and the Presidential Medal of Freedom in July 2002, America’s highest civilian honor. Cosby is the 2009 recipient of the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor and Major League Baseball’s Beacon of Hope Award for his civil rights work.
Bill Cosby represents the voice of a vast, ordinary world. Everyone seems to easily identify with his characters and the situations they find themselves in. He gives the twist of the ridiculous to everyday faults, foibles and successes and makes them a recognizable slice of life. Bill Cosby points out the humor in our lives, and in doing so, he touches our hearts.
