Bill Cosby’s first television concert special in 30 years, Far From Finished, debuted on Comedy Central November 23rd, with multiple airings to follow. Robert Townsend directed the show, which was compiled from four hours of material that Cosby performed in two shows at the Cerritos Performing Arts Center earlier this summer.
Bill Cosby, Himself, aired three decades ago and is considered one of the landmark comedy specials of all time. The Cosby Show was in part an evolution of the Himself routines. Commenting on his return to the form, Cosby said, “Because . . . funny is funny.”
One of America’s most beloved comedians of all time, Bill Cosby has captivated generations of fans with his comedy routines, iconic albums and best-selling books such as Fatherhood. His comedy transcends ages, genders and cultures.
Cosby went around television’s racial obstacles with I Spy, becoming the first African American to costar on a weekly, dramatic television series while winning three consecutive Emmys.
Cosby created and produced the Emmy Award winning cartoon series, Fat Albert And The Cosby Kids, which began airing in the 1970s and was made into a film in 2004. The show, based on Cosby’s childhood in Philadelphia, was designed to educate and entertain. I remember watching it as a kid, and loved it!
Perhaps Cosby’s greatest contribution to American entertainment and culture is The Cosby Show, about a close-knit, upper middle income Black family. One of my favorite all time shows!
To celebrate Far From Finished digitally, Mr. Cosby is asking his fans to lend their laughter in his #LaughterIsUniversal game.
