Call is out to unretired Bill Cosby

Harris Interactive has found that of all the stars who have ever graced the television screen, Bill Cosby is the one America wants back the most. Echo Boomers agree, but their #1 pick is the overall #2 pick Jennifer Anniston. Here are America’s top picks among select former stars.

Respondents were allowed to select two, and the choices are definitely tied to the age of the respondents.

For example, Bob Newhart pulled a score of 11% overall – but his range was enormous, scoring an impressive 21% among Matures against a very small 5% among Echo Boomers.

Here are the results of the Harris Interactive poll:
