History
When Marge wanted Homer to name one person who's gotten rich by doing yo-yo tricks, he starting to think about whether Donald Trump, Arnold Palmer or Bill Cosby could have done, but he found out they hadn't.[1]
Bill Cosby hosted the TV program Kids Say the Darnedest Things, where he used the kids' remarks as a springboard to doing his own standup comedy routines.[2] Cosby also had his own sitcom, The Cosby Show, on which Bleeding Gums Murphy made a guest appearance.[3]
Cosby and his family later auditioned to appear in The 1895 Challenge, a reality show where the cast would live as though the year was 1895. However, they lost out to the Simpson family.[4]
Bill Cosby is also the author of the book Fatherhood, a copy of which was given to Homer by the National Fatherhood Institute.[5]
