Whether it be through concert appearances or recordings, television or films, commercials or education, he has the ability to touch people's lives. His humor often centers on the basic cornerstones of our existence, seeking to provide an insight into our roles as parents, children, family members, and men and women. Cosby started his career as a standup comedian, and is probably best known as the star and producer of the sitcom "The Cosby Show" during the 1980s and 1990s. The Philadelphia native broke television racial barriers in the 1960s when he co-starred in "I Spy." In 2002, he received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, America's highest civilian honor.
