In an unearthed clip from The Cosby Show, Cosby’s character, Cliff Huxtable, uses a “special” ingredient in his barbecue sauce that seems to have a drug-like affect on the women in his family, making them more affectionate than usual.
Many are speculating that this could be a scene taken from Cosby’s own experience, given the recent revelations about Bill Cosby’s admission to using drugs to make women more compliant – and his history of borrowing subject matter from his real life.
In the episode, when Cliff’s wife, Clair, points out that it’s “nice” everyone is getting along, Cliff smirks and says, “They haven’t worked anything out for themselves, it’s my barbecue sauce.”
“Haven’t you ever noticed after people have some of my barbecue sauce, after a while, when it kicks in, they get all huggy-buggy?” he asks his TV wife. “I’m dead serious. Haven’t you ever noticed that after one of my barbecues—and they have the sauce—people want to get right home?”
He then suggests that he and his wife “go on up and have some sauce,” as he has left some sauce up on their night table.
Although the writing for that episode was done by Bernie Kukoff and Janet Leahy, Maggie Serota of Death and Taxes pointed out, “We’d be remiss if we didn’t assume that Bill Cosby popped into the writers room with this idea?”

The specific moment begins around the 19:30 minute mark, and at one point Dr. Huxtable’s daughter Sondra is even seen lying in her husbands arms looking drugged.
