True funny thing is that it's really well known in the industry that the guy's been the biggest jerk for decades.

Interesting article on Ken Levine's blog about what an ******* Cosby was to work for, but the really interesting tidbits are in the comments section. It's worth a read.

One of the comments:

i worked for The Tonight Show during Johnny Carson's reign and when Bill Cosby was a regular Monday Guest host filling in for Johnny. One particular Monday when Cosby was guest hosting and I wasn't more than 19 years old, I had the ONLY bad experience in my 9 years working on the show.

Cosby, Mr. Playboy Jazz Festival showed up early to listen to the Tonight Show Orchestra rehearse in the late afternoon. As Im standing by Doc Severinsen's podium, I kiddingly said to Mr Cosby: Good luck to your Sixers, but i think the Lakers are going to take this one. HE WENT APE**** ON ME. Here I am a little girl in essence (only girl crew person in my career infancy) and he got right in my face screaming profanities at me pushing his chest out assaulting me while yelling at me! (over a basketball game? Come on!) It got so bad, violent, perverted, mean and frightening my guys from the crew and band members jumped to my defense saying to him is your career worth this, for gods sake she's a little girl! He was so in my face I truly feared he was going to hit me. Eventually the security took him from the studio until time for his monologue.

It's not about joking about reality. There is a difference between tragedy which everyone experience and dealing with it with humour, and making lite of a situation where someone is either taken advantage of or is a victim.

I done moved on after the first reply, but you continued the conversation. So I replied. I guess you'll just have to not like my replies and deal with it however you deal with replies. Nothing left to say really. You don't like the reply so move on.
