You can still listen to Cosby. He is still funny. Just don't dope your dates with quaaludes.

  But it isn't the same. Part of his act was that he presented himself as an upstanding person, and his act doesn't work if you know he was secretly terrible.

    You know what's weird? On one hand I agree with you about not being able to listen to Bill Cosby anymore. But on other, literally every comedian is playing a character. I'm not even talking about the obvious ones like Larry the Cable Guy. Jerry Seinfeld, Louis C.K., John Mulaney. Except maybe the late Arty Lang. He was pretty up front about being a piece of shit. Reminds me of an old joke. "What's the easiest way to tell a comedian has made up a story? They start with, 'now this one really happened to me'."

      I get no respect…

    His public persona had that (and he made a lot of people with soft bigotry mad with it), but in his act, he is just a guy. Giving his children chocolate cake for breakfast and helping his wife breathe during childbirth.
