    Is this thread started because of Buress, or because people have seriously never hear about the Bill Cosby stuff before?

    A former colleague of mine posted recently on Facebook that she was excited to interview Bill Cosby. Sort of a big career achievement for her. I decided not to send her links (including some of the ones posted above) and let her have her moment.

    For those who haven't read the allegations, they are both troubling and pretty credible.

    He loves it when a plan comes together.

    Classic impression/bit. The shitty aspect of it is watching Murphy reference Cosby's son who was later murdered.

    I don't think this is a new accuser. Just a revival of her story.

    He's a fairly talented young standup/writer. His Comedy Central specials are definitely worth the watch if you can catch 'em. I was unaware of the Cosby stuff. I'm seeing him live, actually, in a week or so and have been looking forward to it.

    Heard Buress for the first time yesterday on XM's Comedy Central. Holy shit, he's like a freak of comedy nature. Just hilarious.

    I listen to that channel all the time, despite the fact that I find few of the comics on there funny. He's one of the best.

    Now Salon is piling on the Cosby stuff.

    These allegations are not new. And given the fact there a good bit of them out there, likely have some truth.
    Why is the Bill Cosby backlash coming now?
    Does he have something up out that makes him more relevant or topical? New TV show? Movie (Leonard Part 7?) Comedy special? Awards show? Pudding Pops are being revived (Fuck Yeah!)?

    Again, I never heard of Hannibal Buress, but is he leading a renewed charge on this stuff?

    Why now?

    I heard a Burress bit on the radio the other day, where he read a college newspaper review of a show he had done at the school. Very funny.

    Literally and figuratively, Hannibal has a very funny, distinctive voice. I could listen for hours.
