Recently, Dr. Cliff Huxtable himself visited our station. He was here to do an interview with our main anchor.
Now, I've always been a comedy nut - ever since I was a child. I told the Cos I owned "Bill Cosby: Himself" on cassette. I was very happy to meet such a legend.
Then the story takes a dark, tragic turn. Actually, it turned into a great story that I thought was pretty funny.
At the end of the interview - someone asked Mr. Pudding Pop where he gets his Philly Cheesesteaks(he's from Philly)... and the Cos couldn't remember. But he did shout out a phone #... 555-932-2252... rapid fire went this phone #.
So afterwards, trying to be funny, I say "Wow, you can remember that phone #... but you can't remember your favorite cheesesteak place." to which he replied, in his famous drawn out Cosby voice "That's my home phone number you asshole!!"
He was kinda joking... I think. Still, having a beloved entertainer call you an asshole is kinda cool.

Is he talking on a cell phone while mugging for the camera?
He was talking to our anchor's father... and never bothered to pose for the picture. He motioned me to come in and take the pic.
The great Cos was kinda rude. Oh well, at least I have a story to tell.
Rude? He's taking the time to talk to the anchor's father! That sounds pretty thoughtful to me!
Besides, what more do you want from him? If the Great Cos had to stop what he was doing to spend time fulfilling everyone's wish for a photo op, he never would have made the Cosby Show!
