Humor and the Black Bag

Speaker(s): Bill Cosby, Del Shields (host)

Description: Del Shields interviews his cousin, Bill Cosby (1937-). The interview gets off to a bad start, with technical problems, and Cosby giving his cousin a hard time. After that, they talk with callers about humor and the Black people in America, and roles and experiences of Black performers in 1968. The first minute has lots of hiss, but it clears up and remains clear for the remainder of the program.
