6. Bill Cosby
The latest comedic legend caught in the middle of a scandal, Bill Cosby was part of the most loved television families inThe Bill Cosby Show. His other successes include Kids Say the Darndest Things, Fat Albert, Ghost Dad and Jack. Cosby has been a legend in comedy and an inspiration for several African American comedians and actors. Sadly his legacy is slowly fading – over 50 women have come forward accusing Cosby of sexual abuse and battery. Several of his projects have now been cancelled due to this scandal and Cosby has spent more time in court than on camera. He was officially charged in December 2015 and his reputation will be forever tarnished. Cosby is no longer seen as one of television’s favorite father figures and instead viewed as a sexual predator.
