The cast of The Cosby Show reunited for its 25th Anniversary on the Today Show, today, on May 19. The Huxtable clan made their way to the set of the Today Show to sit and chat with host Matt Lauer about the ground-breaking sitcom.

Lauer started out the interview with a simple statement about how great the show truly was and in true Cosby fashion, Bill ended up replying with a long-winded, yet, poignant answer. Lauer's reply, "I'm trying to think, did I even ask a question?" The Cosby patriarch was decked out in a classic sweater, although more subdued than those for which he gained fame back in the show's heyday, emblazoned with a 'B', assumingly representative of Bill.

Throughout the interview both the cast and Lauer were in stitches.

Lauer's next question was a little more controversial but as with everything Cosby, the response was intelligent and well-said. "Were you out to depict and American family or an African American family, what was the most important message at the time?" The unanimous response was, "an American family."

At the conclusion of the sit-down, Bill himself got up and pulled out one of his infamous dance moves.

The Cosby Show made its debut on September 20, 1984 and ran for eight seasons when it ended in 1992.
