Origin of title

Premise
The premise of the show is that Bill Cosby would pose a question to a child (between the ages of four and ten[3]) who would usually respond in an endearing way. Questions asked by the host dealt with bullying, learning, secret crushes, aspirations, etc.[5]
Production
Performance is in front of a live audience, but was not in a studio environment. In order to maintain the authenticity of the children's answers, it is done in auditoriums around the country. Local children are asked to participate. No scripts or coaching is used to coax children on their responses.[3]
