I Saw Bill Cosby, and Then I Downloaded His App. Well, First I Watched the Funny Video About It.



So yes, I'm in LA, and I got the chance to be in the audience for "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno" the day I got here. Leno came out before the show in jeans and a denim button-down to take pics with some audience members, like this black guy named Cosby (no joke, unless Cosby was lying, that would be funny, ha ha, funny joke Cosby, show me your ID!).

Anyways, the Bill Cosby was a guest and I kind of punched the arm of this dude next to me I was so excited. I grew up with "The Cosby Show" (link to one of my fave show moments here), my dad loves him, and Bill Cosby reminds me of my dad in some ways — the patterned sweaters stretched out over a perfectly round paunch, and a hearty laugh.

Mr. Cosby had his pseudo-stern humor about him during the show — like when we applauded when Leno announced that he was 74 and Cosby just looked out at us like, why are you laughing, and goes into a joke about how we're basically applauding that he's closer to death. Funny, because he was there promoting his book, "I Didn't Ask To Be Born: (But I'm Glad I Was)."

When I got back to where I'm staying, I freaked to my housemate about getting to see Bill Cosby and she said, "Have you seen his app?" Excuse me, what? A (free) Bill Cosby app? He spoke of no such thing! And then she followed with: "The video of him talking about the app is even funnier."

And so it was. One of my favorite parts is when he's talking about the different ways you can download the app and ends with: "..and the berry of my people — the BlackBerry."
