Bill Cosby's lapel pin had the letters "SD" on it — it was a tribute to groundbreaking entertainer Sammy Davis Jr., who died in 1990. (The Cosby Show ran from 1984-1992.)

The entertainer actually wore the white, round ceramic button with the letters SDJR (for Sammy Davis Jr.) for about one season, while Davis was battling cancer. Cosby wanted to pay tribute to him and let him know that he was in his thoughts and prayers.
