Question to answer. Why do you admire this person? I admire him because he had challenges and he fought them and look at where he is now. How did Bill’s actions have a lasting impact? Well, Jerry Seinfeld and many other comedians got their ideas from Mr.Cosby. Why is this person famous? He’s famous because he was the biggest comedian of all time and had some big time TV shows

Accomplishment In 1984,a show called “The Cosby Show” started. It about a normal family living in the city democrat chronicle interviews Bill and his new cd and he was trying to say that “rap doesn’t have to have swearing and hate” He also made a book called “ Come On People: On the Path from Victims to Victors” In high school, he was the captain in baseball and track. He was also class President, which meant that he was doing better in school Then he made a cartoon called Fat Elbert that eventually turned into a movie  Then came along the jello pudding commercial, which was the bomb……. Yummy Has cartoon called little Bill

Interesting facts I thought it was interesting that he didn’t like hip hop, rap, R&B. And it was weird that he’s a comedian and hates to curse cause some comedians curse in some of there jokes.
