Bill Cosby on Dick Cavett Show 1973

I never liked Brokaw, but I think his story is funnier--and more believable.

Believe it or not, last week on the Tonight Show Tom Brokaw told a story about trying to be hip by hanging out with Leroy Vinegar in LA in the 60s. According to Brokaw, Vinegar once asked him to roll a joint and when Brokaw handed him a lumpy badly made sample, Vinegar said to him: "What the hell do you think you're doing, making tamales?"

It's not a hilarious story but I was surprised to hear Vinegars' name mentioned by a guy like Brokaw.

Thought Brokaw's story was better than Cosby's. Then again, I never thought Cosby was funny or interesting.
