BURBANK - NBC has scrapped a sitcom that was in development with comedian Bill Cosby.

The announcement comes as the performer deals with increasing pressure surrounding sexual assault allegations from his past.

Earlier, Netflix said it would be postponing the November 27th premiere of Cosby's comedy special.

A sold out comedy show in Melbourne, Florida this Friday will go on as scheduled, Cosby's management told NBC News. Another performance at the Treasure Island in Las Vegas is also still on.

Three women have recently come forward claiming the 77-year-old Cosby sexually assaulted them. Cosby has never been charged in a crime. (Source: KNBC)
