Bill Cosby

During his earlier years, Bill Cosby worked as a bartender at a local club. Throughout his time at the job, Cosby utilized his sense of humor to entertain the customers, earning him more tips as a result. Soon after, he decided to take to the stage and become a stand-up comedian. Along the way, Cosby also released more than a few comedy albums, including the highly-acclaimed To Russell, My Brother, Whom I Slept With. Thanks to the popularity he garnered for himself, Cosby eventually landed more than a few acting gigs. Among the titles he worked on include I Spy, The Bill Cosby Show, and Fat Albert.

Bill Cosby later went to the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where he also got his Doctor’s degree in Education; his dissertation focused on how Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids could be a reliable teaching tool for elementary schools. Nowadays, actor-comedian prefers to enjoy his life in private.
