Prior to becoming America?s Sitcom Dad, and long before his current role as America?s Moralizing Prig on Black Issues, Dr. William H. Cosby Jr. was America?s Best Storyteller. This 1982 live stand-up gig, filmed in Hamilton, Ontario, presents Cos at his rubber-faced, limber-tongued apex, spinning the yarns of happy familial dysfunction that landed him The Cosby Show. And he tosses off enough child-beating jokes to give Bernie Mac a permanent exemption from his shit list.
