"HIMSELF"

Flipping channels, I just landed on Bill Cosby against a bright red background on Retroplex. I can't turn it off. His face mesmerizes me. Just a simple flutter of the eyelids, a slow turning of his head or a deadpan glare makes me giggle uncontrollably. The knot of his tie is uncomfortably askew and his eyes sparkle. I haven't seen this in such a long time and have forgotten how incredibly priceless it is. Here, one of my favorite sketches from this iconic 1983 performance.....



and speaking of cake, one of my favorite Cosby Show scenes of ALL time.....
