Pushing the nostalgia angle hard, Schumer showed the jury a clip of The Cosby Show and then asked, "Did anybody feel raped by that? How about drugged? I felt comforted by a familiar father figure." Watch the video all the way to the end to see how Schumer handles receiving a gift from her client. —Catherine Garcia
