The door is firmly shut to Bill Cosby's return to NBC, the network's top entertainment executive said Friday.

'That's safe to say,' NBC Entertainment Chairman Bob Greenblatt said Friday when asked if the network would ever again do a project with Cosby, who 30 years ago was the sitcom king with the network's 'The Cosby Show.'

NBC's decision to sever ties with the 77-year-old comedian comes in the wake of multiple allegations of sexual assault against him, two lawsuits and a complaint to Los Angeles police earlier this week from a woman who says the comedian sexually abused her in 2008.

"'It has become a tainted situation': NBC firmly shuts door on Bill Cosby as execs admit number of allegations has become too great to ignore"

"NBC Entertainment Chairman Bob Greenblatt said network was done with Cosby, who 30 years ago was the sitcom king with the network's 'The Cosby Show'"

"The network said late last year it was dropping plans to develop a 'classic' family sitcom with him"

"Cosby has faced more career fallout, including Netflix's decision to indefinitely postpone a comedy special and the cancellation of concerts in his ongoing tour"

NBC is racist!

[ClearCase_guy]

That’s mighty racist.

Guilty before proven innocent. How very French.

The way you can tell the allegations are true is because there are so many women saying the same thing at the same time, and the is simply no other possible explanation for that except they are all telling the honest truth. The alternative is to imagine some kind of vast political conspiracy exists by which women can be coordinated to do hateful, dishonest things for political reasons against, for example, a famous, rich and extremely influential black man who dared leave the Democrat plantation to tell Blacks to reject government handouts, get jobs, take care of their families and stay out of jail - which would endanger the reliable Black Democrat vote. But of course, such an evil conspiracy of Democrat women is utterly impossible, so that is simply not happening here.

Good, screw Cosby!

He’s a big liberal. Likes calling conservatives racists for disagreeing with Obama’s policies. The Nation of Islam pushes personal responsibility too, FWIW.

He went off the plantation about 10 years is a single rant. This is one well long planned act of revenge.

Some allegations are so great they do get ignored, especially by NBC

[sport]

Well, his usefulness for them was over. So now they cam pretend to take the high road. Why did not the women say something when it was alleged to happen?

As with Herman Cain there is a pattern. First one then two then a 100 then a 1000 until it gets the desired result.

His usefulness was just starting with them for a new series, and many of the women did come forward in the past, police reports in 2000 and 4005, and an out of court settlement in 2006 with a woman who claimed that he drugged and raped her, and located 13 more Jane Does.

This is a news breakout of a long history that the media has been suppressing.

“The network said late last year it was dropping plans to develop a ‘classic’ family sitcom with him.

The series was announced in mid-2014, before a rising tide of accusations against Cosby by women who say he drugged and assaulted them.”

Do you mean.....no, you could not possibly mean a “Vast Left-Wing Conspiracy”! LOL

Meanwhile NBC has the degenerate Brian Williams watching his daughter have sex on tv and approves of it and the show she is on called Girls.

Different time, different culture

... just look at all the hassle the Clinton accusers got for speaking the truth

Well, they did start ten years ago... :)

Since they are now demanding $100,000,000...

They think they can get some really big cheese.

[sickoflibs]

I avoid NBC. It rots the brain.

He wouldn't be dangerous to the Rats if he was a conservative. And he's more dangerous than the Nation of Islam, because he speaks to Blacks as Black American man, straight up, with nothing else added.
