Back in 2004, I saw Bill Cosby perform live at the grand reopening of the Genesee Theatre in Waukegan, Illinois. In the nearly-decade since, Cosby has returned to the area a few times, and as the title of his recent special shows, he’s “Far From Finished.” Now, the folks at Comedy Central have teamed up with The Rock Father for a special “For Grownups” giveaway, and we’re going to get two (2) lucky readers hooked-up with copies on DVD, and two (2) additional readers outfitted with the new Blu-ray release! Check out the details and get those entries in below!

Bill Cosby: Far From Finished

cosbyA legend that needs no introduction, Bill Cosby recently teamed with Comedy Central for his first television concert special in 30 years… Bill Cosby: Far From Finished. An extended Blu-ray and DVD of the special has just been released by Comedy Central Home Entertainment and Paramount Home Entertainment. Featuring material not seen in the broadcast, the DVD/Blu-ray also includes an interview with Cosby conducted by director Robert Townsend, a behind-the-scenes featurette, and an inside look at the making of his song “Gangbusters.” A CD version of Bill Cosby: Far From Finished was also released by Comedy Central Records, with two bonus tracks titled “Bernadette” and “Otis” contributing to over 40 minutes of additional material.

Cosby performed the 90 minute special at the Cerritos Performing Arts Center in Los Angeles this past summer. As always, he crafts stories around topics that are familiar to most – relationships, marriage, and children – but that he addresses with his singular point of view and renowned and celebrated sense of humor.

One of America’s most beloved comedians of all time, Cosby has captivated generations of fans with his comedy routines, iconic albums and best-selling books such as Fatherhood. His comedy transcends ages, genders and cultures. Cosby went around television’s racial obstacles with I Spy, becoming the first African American to costar on a weekly, dramatic television series while winning three consecutive Emmys. Cosby created and produced the Emmy Award winning cartoon series Fat Albert and The Cosby Kids. Perhaps Cosby’s greatest contribution to American entertainment and culture, though, is The Cosby Show, about a close-knit, upper middle income Black family. The show was in part an evolution of the routines from Bill Cosby Himself, which three decades after it originally aired is still considered one of the landmark comedy specials of all time. Cosby has also received the Kennedy Center Honors, the Presidential Medal of Freedom (America’s highest civilian honor), the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor and the Marian Anderson Award.
