Bill Cosby

Bill Cosby The Paunch Stevenson Show Lame Idiot of The Year Award

Bill Cosby is the winner of The Paunch Stevenson Show Lame Idiot of 2014 Award.

At one time, Bill Cosby was the biggest TV star in America and everyone’s favorite ghost dad. He was one of the top comedians of his generation. He was also the host of Picture Pages and starred in Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids, The Cosby Show, Cosby, and I Spy. And for years, he sold us Jell-O pudding and Texas Instruments home computers.

In 2014, after a comment at a comedy club by comedian Hannibal Buress quickly went viral, the allegations poured in. Around two dozen women, including Lou Ferrigno’s wife, have accused Cosby of drugging their drinks and sexually assaulting them. Yet somehow the Coz continues his comedy tour. Appalling and very, very lame.

Listen to Judd Apatow- go into your mansion, hide, and never come out!
