Cosby is one of the most influential stars in the United States. Whether through concert appearances or recordings, television or films, commercials or education, Cosby has touched 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, women and men.
 
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.
