The joke was written the week that Tamara Green went on NBC’s Today Show to accuse Cosby of rape, and Fey pulls no punches. After delivering a quick and sharp joke on the subject, she and Poehler riff that Kenan Thompson, their resident Cosby impersonator, was too scared to comment on the allegations because of fear of reprisal.

So, for anyone out there who was wondering precisely why it’s taken so long for industry insiders to comment on Cosby’s misdeeds, it’s because they were afraid. The women who were assaulted were afraid for the public smearing that many of them are receiving now. Comedians like Thompson, who owed their professional livelihood to Cosby, were afraid

‘Tina Fey: [doing a Bill Cosby impression] No, Kenan is not coming out because of the “Fat Albert,” and the money, and the sequels!’

‘Amy Poehler: [also doing a Bill Cosby impression] Of course he can’t talk about the boobies, and the groping, and the pudding pops!’

‘Tina Fey: Because it would upset Mr. Cosby, and his wife, Camiiillle!’

‘[Kenan enters and stands behind Tina and Amy]’

‘Kenan Thompson: Wow, thanks for that. Great job, you guys. I didn’t say any of that, because Kenan Thompson loves to work, Okay? Peace.’

Back in the 80’s David Letterman would do skits on his NBC show that portrayed Cosby as being the REAL power and controller at NBC.

Seems that was not too far off.

And we’re shocked! shocked! to find that Hollywood power begets non-consensual sex?

I’ll take “Casting Couch” for $100, Bob!

Maybe Whoop could invite her buddy Cos to a discussion on “The View”

The View is on ABC, the same network that produced the Cosby Show.

I’m thinking of one spoof cartoon that was made about Cosby that him and lawyers quickly squashed. It ain’t just raper allegations. Him and his lawyers are brutal.

Doesn’t make a difference. The Cosby Apologists™ will whine that the statute of limitations is passed, these women should have complained at the time, they’re just in it for the money, blah, blah, blah. There are none so blind as they who will not see.

Except it was NBC that aired Cosby’s shows. The only work Cosby did for ABC was an animated film called “Journey Back to OZ.”

I find it highly suspicious that these 21 women, all Democrats, pop up right after Cosby announced he would campaign for Ted Cruz!

Don’t try to muddy the waters between drugging and raping women, and sleeping with the boss, or “casting couch”.
