Networks face a Bill Cosby dilemma: "To interview or not to interview?"
-
"If he simply repeats his denials and shows no remorse or regret, is it worth it? Or would the news organization simply be laundering his dismissals?" says The Hollywood Reporter's Alex Welprin, adding: "A former booker for a national morning news show says that Cosby is almost certainly being pursued for an interview by multiple networks. Even though he is persona non grata in Hollywood, and much of his prior work has been pulled from TV and streaming platforms (The Cosby Show still streams on Amazon Prime Video, however), his return to the news cycle could be irresistible to a TV news organization looking to give one of its anchors an unsavory subject to grill."
