Yesterday, Bill Cosby pulled a prank on me. We had an interview scheduled with Mr. Cosby & I had been instructed to call him and was given a NY number. I called at 7:08, two minutes before the appointed time and someone picked up on the second ring and whispered, “Hello?”

“Mr. Cosby?” I said.

“Yes,” he croaked, sounding barely alive, “What time is it?”

“It’s 7:08. 8:08 where you are.” He sighed heavily and was silent. I was worried. “Mr. Cosby, are you — are you okay?”

I can’t even really remember what happened next, I was so nervous — & I should let him tell it anyway, because tell it he did once I put him on the air. I’ll pull the audio & post it tomorrow. He got a huge charge out of me. He also said I deserve a promotion and a raise. Dr. Huxtable is a very wise man.
