Jason Remington says:
Bill Cosby Is A Very Funny Fellow was a comedy album that introduced us kids to Cosby-style stand-up. The photo with Ray Court was taken at the Space Needle studio.

Looking at how close they are to the angled windows, I think they were in the streetside booth that sat on Aurora outside the station:

Looking at the Frosty Fowler Space Needle booth in other pictures, https://www.qzvx.com/2019/07/17/frosty-fowler-video-and-pictures-celebration-of-life/ at the 7:50 mark on video, we can confirm the Cosby picture was from the Space Needle booth.
If anyone has pics of the inside of the KING booth on the street, those would be welcome.

The KING 1090 studio–A package of Salem cigarettes and an ash tray, no concern about how smoke affected the equipment. We were lectured on some mysterious effect cigarette smoke has on wires and diodes by the engineers at radio stations we worked at. I guess second-hand smoke causes spurious emissions.

Cosby mania

Jason Remington says:
Cosby was all the rage for some time in the mid to late 1960s. Every talk show invited Bill Cosby. Of course he was the star of TV’s I SPY detective series with Robert Culp.
