Bill Cosby, Jimmy Fallon Talk 'Tonight Show' & Sell Jimmy's Stuff On 'Late Night' (VIDEO)

All Hell Breaks Loose Whenever Cosby Visits 'Late Night'

Bill Cosby stopped by Fallon on Wednesday and the two briefly reminisced about the time Cosby filled in for Johnny Carson on "The Tonight Show." But, as is always the case whenever Cos stops by "Late Night", it didn't take long for the interview to go spectacularly off the rails.

It went something like this: Jimmy makes a crack that Bill takes offense to, Bill demands money for his pains, Jimmy has to sell his stuff to some audience members from New Jersey, cut to commercial. In short, perfect.

Throughout his extensive line of work in comedy, writing, and acting, Cosby has always placed childhood at the center of his work. "What do I need if I am a child today? I need people to guide me. I need the possibility of change," Cosby said in a 2008 interview with The Atlantic. "I need people to stop saying I can't pull myself up by my own bootstraps. They say that's a myth. But these other people have their mythical stories -- why can't we have our own?" (credit:Getty Images)

"These are people going around stealing Coca-Cola. People getting shot in the back of the head over a piece of pound cake," said Cosby in his infamous 2004 "Pound Cake" speech. "Then we all run out and are outraged: 'The cops shouldn't have shot him.' What the hell was he doing with the pound cake in his hand?" (credit:Getty images)

"My problem is I'm tired of losing to white people. When I say I don't care about white people, I mean let them say what they want to say," said Cosby while addressing his alma mater, the University of Massachusetts. "What can they say to me that's worse than what their grandfather said?"

"We are not a pitiful race of people. We are a bright race, who can move with the best. But we are in a new time, where people are behaving in abnormal ways and calling it normal," said Cosby, speaking at Detroit's St. Paul Church in 2007. "When they used to come into our neighborhoods, we put the kids in the basement, grabbed a rifle, and said, 'By any means necessary.'" (credit:Getty Images)
