Michael Che of SNL to Bill Cosby: “Pull Your Damn Pants Up!”

The scandal surrounding the many sexual allegations against Bill Cosby has finally taken its toll on Satuday Night Live's Weekend update anchor, Michael Che. The latter turned one of Cosby's famous lines against the actor himself by saying, "Hey, Bill Cosby, pull your damn pants up!" Che added that he always fancied uttering those words.

Cosby, 77 year old, is in the face of escalating accusations from women claiming to have been assaulted by the well-loved and veteran TV icon thorughout his entire profession. The allegations and controversy re-emerged last October after Hannibal Buress, a famous comedian, joked and teased about the hullabaloo. Cosby, however, has maintained, through his lawyer, that the stories hurled against him were baseless, imaginative, and definitely unsubstantiated.

It can be recalled that quite a number of women came forward to accuse Cosby of molestation, drugging, rape, and assault. Andrea Constand, 41, a then basketball staff from Temple Universty in 2004, recalled how she trusted Cosby and considered him a grandfather but was totally devastated when the actor drugged her and compelled her to touch him. Tamara Green, 66, followed through after Constand's lawsuit. She appealed of her distressing experience with Cosby as she asserted to have been molested by the actor in 1970. Ex-model Barbara Bowman, now 47, also declared in 2006 her bitter experience with Cosby as she was said to have been assaulted 3 times by the actor.

Che also talked about the cancellation of TV Land's "The Cosby Show" which, ironically, was an original telecast of NBC, home  to Saturday Night Live. "I don't know how to feel about that because I don't know Bill Cosby," Che remarked, "but Cliff Huxtable practically raised me." Dr. Huxtable was a character played by Cosby in the said show. The reporter ended with a statement saying he may never ever be able to forgive Cosby but is hopeful to be able to pardon Dr. Cliff Huxtable in the future.
