George Denis Patrick Carlin (May 12, 1937 — June 22, 2008) was an American stand-up comedian, social critic, satirist, actor, and writer/author who won five Grammy Awards for his comedy albums. Carlin was noted for his black humor as well as his thoughts on politics, the English language, psychology, religion, and various taboo subjects. Carlin and his “Seven Dirty Words” comedy routine were central to the 1978 U.S. Supreme Court case F.C.C. v. Pacifica Foundation, in which a 5–4 decision by the justices affirmed the government’s power to regulate indecent material on the public airwaves.
The first of his 14 stand-up comedy specials for HBO was filmed in 1977. From the late 1980s, Carlin’s routines focused on socio-cultural criticism of modern American society. He often commented on contemporary political issues in the United States and satirized the excesses of American culture. His final HBO special, It’s Bad for Ya, was filmed less than four months before his death. In 2004, Carlin placed second on the Comedy Central list of the 100 greatest stand-up comedians of all time, ahead of Lenny Bruce and behind Richard Pryor. He was a frequent performer and guest host on The Tonight Show during the three-decade Johnny Carson era, and hosted the first episode of Saturday Night Live. In 2008, he was posthumously awarded the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor.
LOVE George!
Gone too soon. 🙁
You know it Angel. George Carlin was one man who “got it.”
When I was in the Medical field, the new name for patients was to call them customers…I refused. I was then considered a non-conformist and I like being that.
Someone doesn’t want me to watch this bad enough they just hacked the feed…..I wonder if that should tell me something? Nothing that the Evilists wouldn’t promote……More each day exposes itself about the sickness of those possessed to want the NWO to command our lives. Let me give you an example all of you can readily see. Remember the time in your travels from state to state the nice signs welcoming you & when you exited there was a thank you……most of the cities displayed the same——-do you see any now?? No, the Evilists have had them all removed! No pride, consideration or want to share with your fellow neighbor, SHAME ON THOSE THAT WOULD DESTROY THE TRUTH OF LOVE! There was a program on late night radio last evening about your individual sovereignty. it may be time to consider it…..Continue to fight for Liberty, Freedom, Truth & Justice
