The New England Patriots’ #DeflateGate controversy is seemingly the only thing people in the sports world can talk about, and it was inevitable that the story would soon make its way over to late night TV. Conan O’Brien became the first to take a crack at the Patriots last night, mixing in a shot at another controversial figure these days: Bill Cosby.
It has started to become OK for comedians to make jokes at Cosby’s expense, and Conan definitely takes it up a level here. The punchline itself sort of makes you cringe, at least until you remember that even Cosby himself is now joking about it, which means that either he thinks it’s OK to joke about it too (if the allegations are all false) or he really deserves getting ripped on (if the allegations are true).
No matter which way you look at it, it’s officially become open season on Cosby jokes. Let the games begin.
