Bill Cosby’s scheduled Wednesday appearance on CBS’s Late Show with David Letterman was canceled in the wake of revived allegations of sexual assault. Regis Philbin will replace Cosby on the late night talker, which had no comment on the switch. Cosby’s not talking, either. “The fact that [decade-old allegations] are being repeated does not make them true,” said an attorney for Cosby, adding the comedian “does not intend to dignify these allegations with any comment. He would like to thank his fans for the outpouring of support.” A canceled appearance on The Queen Latifah Show on October 30 was described as a postponement requested by Cosby, who has a comedy in the early stages of development at NBC (no comment from the net) and a special, Bill Cosby 77, slated to stream on Netflix on Thanksgiving.
