Throwback Thursday

Dont Forget I will be hosting Thursday Night Live at Seney Stoval Chapel behind the Varsity at 8 . Today's edition is a legend that opened doors for people like Richard Pryor and everyone to come after him. Unfortunately he was and often is compared to Bill Cosby, but like Cosby said himself the only thing they have in common is race, and I guess age.


Dick Gregory is still doing his thang and brings his humor and comedy to everywhere he goes.

Throwback Thursday

This who I was considering for last week. Probably the my first introduction to what a comedian was, and what they could do was through Bill Cosby. Bill Cosby is a pioneer and comedian from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He has been doing stand up since 1962. He broke many barriers in T.V. with I Spy, Fat Albert and the Cosby kids, and The Cosby Show. Some of my first T.V. memories are watching Cosby Show reruns with my grandparents. As I got older I was able to enjoy Cosby's stand up, especially Himself. Himself was funny and probably the best special I have ever seen from a comedian sitting down. Although I don't agree with the recent coments Bill Cosby has been making in the 2000's and I would recommend Michael Eric Dyson's book Is Bill Cosby Right? there is no denying that Bill Cosby is one of best comedians to ever do it..

Here is a clip from Himself.

and my favorite Opening of any T.V. show. I generally hate openings but this one was ill. I wish I could start off my day like this. Season 5 Opening
