In 1976, Cosby sucker punched Tommy Smothers at the Playboy Mansion for a perceived slight. From WMFU:

In October of 1976, Cosby and Smothers were attending the same party at The Playboy Mansion. Hoping to ease some of the tension, Tom congratulated Bill on his latest television series. What Smothers did not realize was that the show in question had been cancelled the day before. “I liked your show,” said Tom, “it was a really good effort.” Cosby didn’t respond. “He just looked at me [as if to say] ‘**** you,’ and I said, ’ Well, **** you.’ … and walked away. I’d been getting this kind of thing from him for a long time. It started when he was hosting The Tonight Show. He had this kind of dismissive way of introducing people … and I nailed him - you know, comedic oneupmanship—-and I remember he said, ‘Maybe sometime I’ll knock you upside the head one of these days,’ and I said, ‘Yeah, go ahead and try.’ A couple months later … boom … there it was. I should never have turned my back on him. He didn’t have the balls to do it when I was looking. He slipped behind Hefner and sucker-punched me. He hit me right in the head with his fist - knocked me down … and I was down there a minute or two and he was standing over me screaming at me, ‘C’mon, I’ll kick your ass,’ stuff like that. I’ve never seen him since then. I always thought, maybe if he turns around sometime I might give him a shot.”
Is Tommy the serious or silly one? Because if he is the silly one this is messed up..

Cosby needs a publicist just to follow your posts^.....

All that is an inflammatory accusation .With no proof, its totally circumstantial. He said,she said,Heff said.

That's just plain mean. I'm sure if Bill Cosby was smacking Dick Smothers around the playboy mansion it would be a different story.

Gotta agree with Roxy on this one. You hear about celebrities being a$$holes all the time but I always wonder the real story behind it all.

Edmund Burke once said "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." I guess another way is for good men to do evil. I am hoping Bill Cosby didn't do those things. If he did I hope he owns up to it.

His stand up can be funny at times, not a big fan otherwise.
