Comedian Bill Cosby has been in show business for over 50 years, and he celebrated a comeback on Comedy Central over the weekend with a stand-up special called Far From Finished.

The actor, comedian, author and activist released his TV concert special Far From Finished to Comedy Central on Nov. 24. Cosby released the first special, as he turns 76-years old this year.

On the reason for his return, Cosby stated, "Because... funny is funny." While seated in a chair, Cosby delivered the classic routine Bill Cosby: Himself back in 1983. The act served as a precursor for The Cosby Show, which aired on NBC in 1984.

His new production Far From Finished, was directed by Robert Townsend, and shows Cosby's stand-up material from earlier this summer.

Cosby hosted a sweater tournament on his website. People were allowed to vote for their favorite Cosby sweater and were entered to win one of his books. The winner was announced previously on the Today show. Check out all 131 of his sweaters over at Buzzfeed.

The legendary funnyman also appeared on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon to talk about his new project. It was shown that Cosby was so impressed with how The Roots welcomed him to the show, he thought it would be great to audition the band, and hire them for his funeral.

Of course Cosby set up a mock funeral, watch now.
