"Do not put your trust in princes, nor in a son of man, in whom there is no help. His spirit departs, he returns to his earth; in that very day his plans perish. Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God, who made heaven and earth, The sea, and all that is in them; who keeps truth forever, who executes justice for the oppressed, who gives food to the hungry. The LORD gives freedom to the prisoners."
- Psalm 146:3-7

I don't think there's a better storytelling comedian than Bill Cosby. Here he is at the height of his genius, talking about trying to sit in on the drums at a jazz club occupied by his heroes.
I also love the picture of him trying his hardest and failing, and the expert sliding in to his place to "rescue him." Very gospel-y.

The very first comedy routine I ever heard was Bill Cosby's "Noah" on an LP! It was fabulous, the funniest thing I had ever heard, up to that point in my young life! Then his bit about the razor - "little tiny hairs, flowing out my face."

Bill Cosby may possibly be the greatest comedian ever.
Seriously.
(Or should I say, "Unseriously. :-)
I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who has "Bill Cosby: Himself" memorized.
