Same with Bill Cosby! Even in the commentary for that scene in S3E15 “The Bubble”, the commentators were saying something like “We were dancing a fine line here. There’s always some level of truth in comedy…”. Robert Carlock said that the joke in the original script was even more overtly accusatory, and they had to rewrite it a bit because Cosby was not yet found guilty of anything at the time.
I remember Hannibal Buress as the one who really called out Cosby and brought it into the public consciousness, and he was involved in early seasons of the show.
I was reading an article last night explaining what happened to Peewee Herman out loud to the boyfriend and it had in it a very poorly-aged quote from Bill Cosby defending Herman.
