      His remote sketches during Late Night/The Tonight Show/CONAN are a better representation of how genuinely funny the man is. Send him out on the streets or to an event and have him riff with a passerby and you can instantly tell how he can just shoot out instant comedy. No need for a writing crew just his quick wit.

    To learn a whole Beethoven sonata in two evenings is absolutely incredible. I've been playing the piano for many years and I'd be very pleased with myself if I'd learn a single movement in that time.

Stymie and the other black kids were just part of the gang of crazy kids, white or black! Maybe that “Yum yum eat ‘em up” black African native film got Cosby upset , or the wide-eyed black face look you see on the kids, but this stuff is harmless. The white kids also had the wide-eye expressions too. So Cosby the serial rapist takes away all that brilliant humor from the Little Rascals away from the public.
