Copper, yes. The base is often made of brass (a copper alloy), and the lead wires that carry current to the filament are a copper alloy. Because the wires double as supports in most bulbs, they're made of a stiffer and more heat-resistant alloy than the nearly pure copper used in normal wiring. So there probably isn't anything in the bulb that is pure copper.

Who's Cooper? Seriously, though, I don't think so.
