Chris Rock, Jerry Seinfeld and more honor Bill Cosby on PBS

Tomorrow, you’ll be able to see the entire 90-minute award show on PBS at 8pm. You should check your local listings here for more viewing info. Cosby joins the ranks of Richard Pryor, George Carlin and Steve Martin as the 12th recipient of the prize. To get you in the mood for the Cos, or “Mr. Cosby” as it seems everyone calls him, here’s a few clips from the award ceremony, the first of which gets you on the red carpet. Check it out.
In this clip, Malcolm Jamal-Warner — Theo, from The Cosby Show — tells the story about how he almost didn’t land his career-making role.
Finally, Cosby’s screen-wife Phylicia Rashad remembers how Cosby helped her make the transition from stage to sitcom.
