Lemon kept referring to him as “Dr. Cosby”. Sorry, but an honorary degree does not make you a doctor.

Technically, it is a real degree. Much like the ones for athletes at UNC.

I am pretty sure that is an actual PhD. Worthless but real. I remembering reading about the sketchy circumstances of the (ahem) orals.

His doctorate in education is not honorary. He earned the degree form UMass Amherst.

It is worth as much as any other doctorate in education.

He doesn’t have an honorary doctorate, he has earned bachelor’s, master’s and Doctorates in education. So has Shaquille O’Neal (which was much more of a surprise!).

Yep.

Seems I remember Cosby being referred to as Dr. William Cosby in the credits on The Cosby Show after his honorary degree but, had to go back to Bill Cosby after someone told him he wasn’t really a doctor.

He just played one on tv.
