#25: The Cosby Show and the “Great Teacher” Ego
Bill Cosby kept things under control on the set of The Cosby Show (1984) and sometimes treated the young actors like students in a classroom. When a child actor couldn’t get a scene right, Cosby would keep everyone late for hours until they delivered a “perfect” performance. The effect was a tense atmosphere that seemed more like “boot camp” than a funny sitcom set.
