I disagree. Tiny Tim was wacky but was also an entertainer and Johnny Carson's friend.
'A Christmas Carol' is not a comedy and the analogy is out of place.
Cos probably had a problem at what Tiny was doing which he probably deemed 'a freak show' and not worthy of his hypocritical ways.

Of course you disagree. Contrary to what you mkight think, Khoury was nearly unknown for decades until he died. Cosby was talking about the Tiny Tim character in the Dickens story. Laughing at the misfortunes of the obviously brain damaged Ozzie is analogous to laughing at the character Tiny Tim. That's the only analogy that makes any sense. Herbert Khoury was ridiculous, whether or not he was trying to be funny.
