"The Legendary George Carlin"
One
of the most celebrated comedians of all time,
Carlin
is especially noted for his irreverent attitude and his
observations on language, psychology, and many taboo
subjects primarily focused on the short comings and
flaws of modern day life. He is considered by many to be
a successor to the late
Lenny Bruce and in 2004
was described by
Comedy Central as the
second greatest stand-up comedian of all time behind
Richard Pryor.
Four-time Grammy award
winner, he has starred in 12 HBO specials since 1977,
hosted the first episode of Saturday Night Live on
October 11, 1975, received a star on the Hollywood Walk
of Fame in 1987, and in 1994 he was inducted into the
Comedy Hall of Fame.
