well one's lovely one's talented it's a story on pen and teller there's nothing
wrong with this show
well you know uh paul how many people are in this country how many americans in
this country
about 240 million that's right and each week paul how many of those people do
you think watch the
cosby show oh a good about 210 210 million no kidding every thursday night yeah
210 million
the other the other 30 million have evening jobs but isn't that amazing when
you think of that
incredible audience and then they they spun off some characters uh a year ago
one of his daughters
now has a show that follows the cosby show and it's called another world a
different world
and how many people do you think watch that spin-off a huge number of people
yeah about 210 million
that's the number two it drops down a little bit but still it's a huge vast
audience almost everybody
yeah so and everything cosby touches turns to gold no question exactly uh so we
were thinking it would be
nice if we had some little connection to this cosby magic
i don't know i don't know what's happened to me uh so we thought we would uh
develop our own our own
spin-off you see of the cosby show and it would be a part of our show and then
we'd get huge audiences
and and everyone would be rich so uh here now to help us get our little spin-off
off the ground
