Bill Cosby is who got the Me Too movement started, so you would think that he would understand that he is persona non grata throughout the world. But he is too much of an egomaniac to comprehend that.
Therefore, today when he was talking to Scott Spears on WGH Talk, he revealed that he plans on touring next year, and Variety confirmed that it will be around Spring/Summer.
Who is going to pay to see an 85-year-old man who has been accused of drugging and raping multiple women? What club or theater is going to want to book him?
I think Cosby needs to get over himself. This is not the ’80s, and he doesn’t have the pull he had then. I think he needs to spend whatever days he has left living in the hell he made himself.
UPDATE: Comedian Steve Byrne had the best joke about Cosby’s upcoming tour. He wrote, “Bill Cosby to tour in 2023… ladies, there will be a 2 drink minimum.” Too soon?

Before S. Epatha Merkerson was running the Emergency Department on Chicago Med, she had timne to be in a book club on The Cosby Show. She looks the same now as she did when she was 35 in that 1988 episode.
After years of many many many accusations from many many many women, Bill Cosby was found guilty on three counts related to the drugging and sexually assaulting of Andrea Constand almost 18 years ago in his house according to MSNBC. Those counts are penetration with lack of consent, penetration while unconscious, and penetration after administering an intoxicant. Each count brings a maximum 10-year sentence. Since he is a first time offender, he will probably do less than 2 years, but at 80-years-old that could be a life sentence.
It will be interesting to see how this verdict will affect all of the many many many other cases against him. Hopefully, their cases will be considered stronger now and they will have a better chance of winning.
Although, he can appeal this verdict. It will be interesting to see if he does. Which we all assume he will do because he still claims to be innocent of all of the many many many sexual assault claims against him.
Before Gilbert Gottfried was doing Bill Cosby impressions as part of his act, he guest starred on The Cosby Show. How funny was the 31 year old in that 1987 episode?
