TV One is honoring the life and legacy of Malcolm-Jamal Warner with two special marathons of The Cosby Show, a poignant and powerful tribute to the actor’s unforgettable portrayal of our collective cousin, Theo Huxtable.

Since then, Cosby has stayed out of the public eye, only making the occasional remark, including when his former costar Malcolm-Jamal Warner died on July 20. After Warner drowned in Costa Rica, Cosby's spokesperson Andrew Wyatt told PEOPLE that the actors kept in touch.

Cosby now lives life out of the spotlight and has not returned to acting in Hollywood. He remains married to his wife, Camille, with whom he has welcomed five children since their 1954 wedding. Two of his children — Ennis and Ensa — have since died.
