Bill Cosby has a new TV gig, though it's unlikely to be a ratings winner.

The comedian will appear on several shows and spots on the Philadelphia School District's local-access station and serve as a volunteer creative consultant.

The programming, including some student-produced segments, will include messages on homework, SAT preparation and vignettes about students and their communities.
