Hannibal Buress Why

Why? with Hannibal Buress is a late-night television series hosted by Hannibal Buress. On March 10, 2015, the series was green-lit for an eight-episode season. The series premiered on Comedy Central on July 8, 2015. The show was meant to provide a look into the host’s mind with episodes undertaking social issues through sketches, man on the street interviews, special guests and stand-up in front of a studio audience. Hannibal Buress confirmed in December 2015, that the series would not return for a second season. He told the New York Post that it wasn’t the ideal format for him.

Hannibal Buress Cosby

At the Philadelphia club The Trocadero, on October 16, 2014, Buress was recorded doing an extended routine about existing rape allegations against Bill Cosby. Buress addressed Cosby’s legacy of “talk[ing] down” to young black men about their style of dress and lifestyle. He criticized the actor’s public moralizing by saying, “Yeah, but you raped women, Bill Cosby, so that kind of brings you down a couple of notches.” The audience appeared to respond to Buress’s accusation with incredulity; Buress encouraged everyone to search for “Bill Cosby rape” when they got home.

He had been doing the same Cosby routine for the previous six months with little response, but Buress’s October performance went viral after being posted on Philadelphia magazine’s website. A media firestorm ensued, with numerous publications tackling the question of how Cosby had managed to maintain, as Buress called it in his set, a “Teflon image” despite more than a decade of public sex-abuse accusations. Later, Comedian, Eddie Murphy referenced Buress’s role in the allegations coming to light while impersonating Cosby during his 2015 Mark Twain Prize for American Humor acceptance speech, mockingly playing Cosby as threatening Buress’ life.
