I first of all have to thank a man who brought me into his office—that talks out of the side of his mouth—and he was talking straight…he looked at me and said ‘I’m going to put you on television.’  I said, ‘Yah. OK. Sure. Fine. You call me. I won’t call you.’  I would also like to thank NBC for having GUTS.  I would like to thank Art Stark and Johnny Carson for presenting me each and every night on the ‘Tonight Show.’  I extend my hand to a man by the name of Robert Culp who, well, the guy took…he took a comedian who couldn’t do anything as far as acting is concerned, and he lost this, because he helped me. That’s the greatest thing a human being can ever do.”

—Bill Cosby becomes [on this day in 1966, the] first African-American to receive an Emmy for Best Actor in a dramatic series—for his role in “I Spy.”
