Bill Cosby is, by any standards, one of the most influential stars in America today.  Whether it be through concert appearances or recordings, television or films, commercials or education, Bill Cosby has the ability to touch people's lives.  His humor often centre’s 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 humorists such as Mark Twain, Buster Keaton and Jonathan Winters.

The 1984-92 run of The Cosby Show and his books Fatherhood and Time Flies established new benchmarks on 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.  His lifelong contributions to American culture were recognized with a Kennedy Center Honor in 1998 and the Presidential Medal of Freedom in July 2002, America’s highest civilian honor.

The Cosby Show garnering 29 Emmy® nominations with six wins, six Golden Globe® nominations with three wins and ten People’s Choice Awards.
