His role in the two-season sitcom The Bill Cosby Show, which aired from 1969 to 1971, allowed him to continue performing.

Cosby created, produced, and hosted the animated comedy television series Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids, which focused on a group of young kids growing up in an urban neighborhood, in 1972 utilizing the Fat Albert character established during his stand-up routines. The show lasted until 1985.

Throughout the 1970s, Cosby starred in various films including Sidney Poitier’s Uptown Saturday Night (1974), Let’s Do It Again (1975), and Neil Simon’s California Suite (1978) alongside Richard Pryor.

From 1971 through 1973, he co-starred in The Electric Company’s original ensemble with Rita Moreno and Morgan Freeman. For many years, he served as a well-known spokesperson for several items, notably the Jell-O pudding pops.

The Cosby Show, a television sitcom that Cosby created and starred in beginning in the 1980s, was regarded as the top show in America from 1985 through 1989.

A number of sexual assault charges against Cosby were widely published in 2014 after Hannibal Buress brought them up again during a stand-up performance, which led to other women coming forward with complaints.

Reruns of The Cosby Show and other television shows with Cosby were withdrawn from syndication in response to the claims. He was found guilty of aggravated indecent assault on Andrea Constand in 2018.

In June 2021, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court overturned Cosby’s conviction owing to breaches of his 5th and 14th Amendment rights to due process, and he remained behind bars until that time. After his release from jail, Cosby’s legal problems have persisted.
