Description
River Rock Show Theatre
FOR TWO SHOWS ⦠ONE NIGHT ONLY! Over the past century, few entertainers have achieved the legendary status of William H. Cosby Jr. His successes span five decades and virtually all media ⦠remarkable accomplishments for a kid who emerged from humble beginnings in a Philly project. In the 60âs, his stand-up act was a coast-to-coast sensation spawning a string of hilarious, best-selling comedy albums which went on to earn eight Gold records, five Platinum records and five Grammy Awards. His role on NBCâs I Spy made him the first African-American to co-star in a dramatic series breaking televisionâs racial barrier and winning three Emmy Awards. His first sitcom, The Bill Cosby Show ran on NBC for two seasons from 1969 to 1971. Then in the 80âs, he again rocked the television world with his second sitcom, The Cosby Show ... a gentle, whimsical and hugely successful series that single-handedly revived the family sitcom ⦠and rescued NBC. The series ran for a total of eight seasons. During the 90âs, he hosted a syndicated revival of the classic Groucho Marx game show, You Bet Your Life and starred in his third sitcom, Cosby which aired on CBS for four seasons and co-starred Phylicia Rashad, his on-screen wife from The Cosby Show. He also hosted CBSâs Kids Say the Darndest Things. With hit films including Uptown Saturday Night and best-selling books such as Fatherhood, Bill Cosby is quite simply a national treasure with the unique ability to touch peopleâs hearts ⦠while at the same time, making them laugh. He still enjoys performing to sold-out audiences throughout North America and will be appearing for two shows at the River Rock Casino Resort in November.
