Bill Cosby Salutes Sidney Poitier at AFI Life Achievement Award YouTube 360p

Bill Cosby at the AFI Tribute to Sidney Poitier on March 12, 1992. Poitier directed nine movies. He chose Bill Cosby to star in four of them: Uptown, Saturday Night, Lets Do It Again, A Piece of the Action and Ghost Dad. They have been friends for over 50 years.

Mr. Poitier. Thanks for being a great human being. God take care of your soul now. RIP To Sir With Love.

The man did a skit and a tribute at the same time

[@danwaldis4553]

I bought all of Cosby's early albums. Funny, funny man! And Sidney was genuinely ticked by Cosby's funning around. What a great night, and I'm glad it was captured on video!

[@swacfan100]

Awesome! Too funny. I forgot Bill and Sidney did a few movies together. Uptown Saturday Night & Let's Do It Again are my favorites with them.

[@michaelhollingsworth6026]

Don't forget a piece of the action the movie

[@acampbell2662]

Sidney also directed the movie Ghost Dad which starred Bill Cosby.

AFI must have removed this video on their channel, which is unfortunate. I saw this event live in 1992 and this was definitely one of the highlights.

[@danwaldis4553]

That is a shame. It's too bad Cosby's life was so skewed in the last few years. In his heyday as a popular comedian he was one of the greatst story tellers ever.

[@fortysomethingbadgirls2173]

I loved Bill Cosby as well!! Great actor.

[@Sami-dp5ss]

What a funny 😂 story teller! 🤣

[@jamesdman7193]

I like that jacket and hat, man this was awesome😆

I don’t care what people say. BC is a legend❤

[@t.bozmkw3562]

Best story teller.

[@rociobany290]

Too bad he tarnished himself with his conviction ... it's the first time I have been able to watch him & wondered what Sydney thought of cosby's fall from grace ... because Sir Sydney was an awesome human being & brilliant actor who leaves a legacy many dream of ... RIP you beautiful man 🌹🎭🙏☮❣

@rociobany290
"tarnished himself"?
He got the Emmett Till treatment.

[@royrogers3404]

That's what friends are for.

[@antoniochapman3986]

Sidney Poitier/Bill Cosby should have done a HARDCORE action/buddy cop movie with a HARD R rating back in the old days.

[@jaque4593]

True comedian and friend

[@Sheepy007]

@@boxing4life410 nope, He was found guilty but the decision was overturned. Not because He was innocent, but because there was legal mistakes done in the process. Thats a Major difference.
