Denise Huxtable is a character in the sitcom The Cosby Show.
History
When Bleeding Gums Murphy was hospitalized at Springfield General Hospital, Lisa Simpson asked him when he had last worked. Murphy replied that it was in 1986, when he made a guest appearance on The Cosby Show. In a flashback to the appearance, Cliff Huxtable (Bill Cosby) introduced Murphy to the Huxtable children—Rudy, Theodore, and Denise—as "Grampa Murphy." Rudy responded that they already had three grandpas, and the children then dismissed him, saying in an indifferent tone that they all already had grandfathers. Cosby replied that Murphy was a great jazz musician, but the children remained uninterested. He then launched into a monologue explaining jazz by comparing it to commercial products such as Jell-O Pudding Pops, Kodak film, and New Coke, while claiming that children were no longer interested in jazz because of rap music. Throughout the scene, Murphy himself did not speak and was shown silently holding his saxophone while Cosby carried the conversation.
