Bill Cosby represents the voice of a vast, ordinary world. Everyone seems to easily identify with his character and situations they find themselves in. He gives the twist of the ridiculous to everyday faults, foibles and successes and makes them recognizable slice of life. Bill Cosby points out the humor in our lives, and in doing so, he touches our hearts. Because of this, his appeal is not restricted to any specific group. His qualities have endeared him to people from all walks of life.

Bill Cosby is, by any standard, one of the most influential stars in America today. Whether it’s through concert appearances or recordings, television or films, commercials or education, Bill Cosby has the ability to touch people’s lives. His humor often centers on the basic cornerstones of our existence, seeking to provide an insight into our roles as parents, children, family members, and men and women. Without resorting to gimmickry or lowbrow humor, Bill Cosby’s comedy has a point of reference and respect for the trappings and traditions of the great American humorist such as Charlie Chaplin, Will Rogers, W.C. Fields and Groucho Marx.

The 1984-94 run of The Cosby Show and his books Fatherhood and Time Flies established new benchmarks and how success is measured. His status at the top of the TVQ survey year after year continues to confirm his appeal as one of the most popular personalities in America. Cosby’s believability and humor makes him most effective as the spokesman for JELLO. His lifelong contributions to American culture were recognized with a Kennedy Center Honor in 1998 and the Presidential Medal of Freedom in July 2002.

Today, Cosby has touched the hearts of a new generation of young children with his Little Bill animated series, which airs daily on Nickelodeon and Saturday mornings on CBS. The show is based on Cosby’s popular children books. His interest in young people also spawned his best-selling book Congratulations! Now What?, published by Hyperion. The book contains his amusing yet wise take on college life and what lies ahead of the new graduate in the real world.
