Where are you when we need you George? The endless material he would have with the country the way it is now. A legend deeply missed. RIP

George was so incredibly dryly funny. And you can see how much Johnny loved him. Such a great selection!
It's not so much what George sayes , it's the way he sayes it . That voice , tonation , timing .... ......just superb !
May 13th, 1992... Carlin had celebrated his 55th birthday the day before he taped this appearance, and Carson had one more week of hosting the Tonight Show before retiring indefinitely...

@@chuckdieselkicksdisks2380Carson was definitely not happy with how NBC replaced him. Letterman was who Carson really wanted to follow in his footsteps. NBC brass thought better and put Leno in and Carson never forgave NBC and never appeared on the network again, even for a big network anniversary special they begged him to attend. The only time Carson appeared on TV, after retiring was on Dave’s CBS show calling in or pre- taped bits culminating in a shocking walk on where the applause was so intense, Carson was never able to get out one word. He sat at Dave’s desk and tried to calm the crowd down and just as they were starting to, Carson had second thoughts, stood up and exited stage right. The clip is on You Tube and you need to see it.

You can't be "moral" enough to enter Heaven. Eternal life is a free gift and the giver is Christ. The catch is you have to accept and receive the gift.

I was a police officer in a small northwest New Jersey town. Before George Carlin would do his HBO Special he would try his material out at a local high school. His agent would call up our police station and request two officers to stand by behind the curtains in case anything happened. Before the show he walked over and shook our hands. His agent/driver said that "Once the show was over George is heading right to the car and we are following you to the highway to get back to the interstate." My partner and I got a picture with him. After the show was over, we escorted George and his driver back to the interstate, pulled over, and waved them past us. George was halfway leaning out of the passenger car window screaming, "Thanks fuckers!" And if you don't believe me, I'll send you the picture.
Amazing Talented Wise Man, ahead of his time ♥️🕯♥️

I saw Carlin in concert at my university in 1990. He did not disappoint. I'm so glad I had the opportunity to see him perform live, not Memorex.
I remember watching this at 14 or 15 years old when it was on, at around midnight (in the spring). Watching this again at age 46... Around midnight in the pre-spring.
Wow I really miss George Carlin! I forgot about Wonderful Wino. LOVED Hippy-Dippy Weatherman, his appearances on the Flip Wilson show.
Saw Carlin live many moons ago in Portland, Oregon. His observational humor was unparalleled. He is greatly missed.
I was blessed to have seen George Carlin twice in person with my late Dad,also named George. Beautiful memories. Love and miss you Dad and George Carlin. From Canada 🇨🇦 🙏✝️❤️
I absolutely loved George Carlin! He is not always on my mind but he was always sooo funny and creative! God Bless his Soul!❤
George Carlin's wisdom comes up a lot in my life. I'm glad it is still very relevant.

Warren Zevon sure did an incredible George Carlin impression
One of my favorite skits of George Carlin's was when he did a weather report on Ed Sullivan show back in the late sixties. Also did weather reports in some of his live standup. "Today's weather forecast includes a severe pressure center. Now a lot of viewers have written into the station asking what a severe pressure center is." George then points to a location on the weather map of the states. "This is a severe pressure center". 🤣

George talks about his partnership with Jack Burns, they did put out an album, which I am fortunate to own, it's not very good, but you can hear the ideas that George worked up into good bits later on

Hi everyone, Have an interesting dusk!
Genius. Tonight’s forecast? Dark!
I was 21 years old waiting tables at The Keg restaurant in Bellevue, Washington when this aired. Time flys, it's so unfair how short it is but thank God we get it.
Hilarious as usual. It’s standup!!!
I saw Carlin live in New Orleans in 1994 . He was great live . I saw all of Carlin's HBO specials ,but he was fantastic live..
I thought "105th appearance" was supposed to be some kinda joke . As in "I've appeared too many times on this show ..." But ACTUAL 105 appearances , that's crazy ! I don't have 105 WORDS in my vocabulary ffs ! 😅

GOD bless these two funny men. May they rest in peace with you, Lord.
I was fortunate to see Johnny Carson (show taping in the mid-80s) and George Carlin (comedy show in in the early 2000s). I think of those few hours from 20 to 40 years ago from time to time - legends.
I wonder what Carlin’s IQ was. He was a genius.

How about remembering a time when an Adult comedian could host a children’s show and everyone loved it. ‘‘Twas definitely a better time.
🔥🔥🔥!!!
He was created, wayyyy before him time. Funny how his political humor is SPOT ON. 🤔
The best part about 9:54 is that over 30 years later, you can actually buy daytime fireworks. No idea how well they work, but they're out there. I guess George was just ahead of his time on that one, but that's hardly unusual for him!
Obviously this wasn't George's A material (he had to tone things down for network TV), but I consider this the period of peak Carlin, early to mid-90s. He was coming into his own in terms of bringing the truth bombs, and he was still hilarious. Later Carlin was just as truthful but stopped being funny. So this was my favorite period of his routines.
Really miss Carson, tonight show has really gone down the toilet since Fallon took over
I won tickets on the radio to see George Carlin. I had nobody to go with and gave the tickets to my sister and my cousin. They said it was a great show.

Was introduced to George’s wonderful brand of humor with his album “Occupation Foole” around 1972 and he kept me in stitches for the next 35 years or so. “Hell’s Breakfast Nook” just killed me.
