TINA Fey said there would be Bill Cosby jokes during the Golden Globes, and she wasn’t kidding.
At the 72nd annual Golden Globes, Fey and co-host Amy Poehler didn’t tiptoe around the growing number of allegations of sexual assault against Cosby.
In describing the movie Into The Woods, Poehler joked, “Cinderella ran away from her prince, Rapunzel was thrown from a tower ... and Sleeping Beauty just thought she was getting coffee with Bill Cosby.”

Fey chimed in, asking the audience if they heard Cosby finally spoke out about the allegations against him, telling reporters, “I put the pills in the people.” Poehler then did her own Cosby impression and repeated the joke.
The 77-year-old comic has come under fire in recent months after decade-old allegations of sexual assault became a national talking point. More than a dozen women have since come forward with their own claims.

While representatives for Cosby and his wife, Camille Cosby, have denied the allegations, the actor himself has yet to address the scandal head-on — though he did seemingly reference the claims during a recent stand-up set.
“You have to be careful about drinking around me,” Cosby reportedly told a woman getting up from her front-row seat to get a drink at the comedian’s London, Ontario, show on Jan. 7. Many of Cosby’s accusers claim the actor drugged their drinks.
