“The Nightly Show” host Larry Wilmore used a segment about a date rape-y ad from Bloomingdale’s to remind us about the sexual assault allegations against comedian Bill Cosby.

The Bloomingdale’s ad reads: “Spike your best friend’s eggnog when they’re not looking.” The department store chain apologized on Tuesday.

“What kind of clothing are you selling? Cosby sweaters?” Wilmore asked. “That’s right, motherfucker, I haven’t forgotten about you. It’s getting late in the year; I still remember that shit.”

Wilmore has used his show to be a vocal critic of Cosby.

“Seriously, this ad is disgusting. Who’s their target demo? Bill Cosby?” Wilmore asked. “I had to do it again. I’m sorry, I can’t help it! This ad is so awful, it makes Bloomingdale’s look like Cosby’s hotel room. I apologize. I admit, I have a problem — but not as big of a problem as Cosby.”

“Okay, that’s it. I’m done. I can stop at four,” Wilmore said. “Unlike Cosby!”
