I was fortunate enough to see George Carlin live 3 times on stage. To me he was much more than a comedian. He has said some of the funniest and most poignant statements I’ve ever heard. I think it would have been amazing to be able to talk to him and get his opinion on all topics. I feel like he was one of the best people to have lived, again not just in his comedy but how his brain worked.
I saw him once towards the end. It was awesome. Tickets were sold out and I was so disappointed. Walking away from the box office, a couple approached me saying they had to leave for an emergency. They gave me their tickets....3rd row!! I'll never forget it.
This man was ahead of his time..been years since I listened to him I almost forgot how brilliant he was. Imagine if he was still alive with how the world is today ?
I had the honor of having him speak at my graduation. I attended Cardinal Hayes high school. So did George but he was kicked out 😂😂😂 . It was a great evening
When Johnny Carson was asked who was the smartest man he ever knew; his answer was “ George Carlin”. Carson interviewed the best and brightest, so he knows whereof he speaks.
HE TOLD THE TRUTH...we need more people like him. The truth hurts, but it must be known. I am from South America & I am glad he teaches me the REAL HISTORY!!
Recorded 3 months before he passed! What a brain what a mind what a man and what a performer! I wonder what he would make of the damn country today! He would tear the ass out of life today!
How TF does this have 1.1k haters? This is absolute genius at work. His linguistic gymnastics are incomparable. Saw a performance of this set at the Ryman Auditorium and was blown away by how adept he still was. Very much a visionary. So much of his prophecies have come true.
George Carlin is the greatest philosopher of all time that disguised as a comedian. Imagine the things that he can come up with this year 2022. He has a ton of materials to play the words with. Salute to all who still listens to his words up to this day and beyond.
If you brought Carlin back from the dead, he would hate you for it. He was utterly repulsed with humans as a species and Americans in particular. He had seen enough and didn't want to see more.
His passing was a true loss. He put immeasurable effort into his craft that's going to be admired for decades to come. Thank you for the all the laughs George.
the biggest loss is for personally, never seen any of his stuff until after he died. i would of loved to of seen this man live on stage. true comedy genius
Best birthday of my life was seeing George Front row, dead center... after the show a few people and I had the opportunity to speak with him for a half hour after the show. Very humble conversation.
He was dead for a couple of years when I first discovered him. Can't get enough of it. In German there is an idiom: Too nice/beautiful to be true. Georgie turns it upside down: Too true to be nice. I love you, old boy, and if the heaven you didn't believe in does exist, you certainly already know, your purgatory sentence must have been served in a sec. For all the truth you spread, and all the, well, if not hope, then certainly stoicism you installed in those who listened to you and had a laugh. Zanx
I was thinking the same damn thing. I'm slightly jealous that he didn't have to see how far we have fallen, but maybe he would have thought it was hilarious.
It would be the exact same thing. And we all know it. Getting down to the bedrock and nuance of this man's brilliant word usage would not be different from today. He was never really "left or right" by the way the media reports it. The media would call him a liberal, atleast up until recently, within the last 4-8 years. He spoke reality for what it is. Reality. And it sucks ass. But he made that shitty reality fun and funny.
Prescient, huh? 😅 I totally agree! I still listen to his AM FM albums & Class Clown. His fake commercials were so funny - and WILD news, with his hippy drippy weatherman, 7 words you can say on television (which, FYI you still can't after over FIFTY years... and even podcasts bleep out some of them!) We're so fucked, circling back to the NE puritanical of the pilgrims. Except new England is pretty progressive compared to the puritans, they just spread out all the midwest!
No One can Top George Carlin! He told it like Was, not for what he thought you wanted to hear! He be the first to tell you what he thought about Politically Correctness! He is such an Original! RIP 🙏🏿🤗
IT'S SO SAD- GEORGE IS NO LONGER WITH US... THINK OF ALL THE JOY THAT IS LOST. LIKE TEARS IN THE RAIN.. I AM GRATEFUL THAT ALL THIS IS RECORDED FOR POSTERITY..... FOR PEOPLE TO ENJOY FOREVER!!!!!!!!!
his last few albums I thought were a little too angry at the time but now.....I'm laughing my ass off if George was immortal and was still doing it, his new album would be titled "I tried to warn Ya" Rest in peace George, we all miss ya
some people judging him his late shows, usually after late 90s he became a bitter old man but i think its not a bad thing, his humour is better than 70s
@@batdis2046 By that time he had a LOT more topical material to work with, not the LEAST of which was that the ENTIRE second half of his career was for the purpose of paying off years of Federal tax bills that had been, um, past due. . .THAT ALONE had to piss him off plenty. He talks a lot about it in his books. Great reads, BTW.
I had dinner with George in a dive cafe in Hollywood in '92. He was real. Hilarious. We made each other laugh. Politically opposed, became friends. I have always enjoyed his comedy, and he was much the same in real life. He told me once," If we can make fun of how idiotic we all can be, then break bread as friends, democracy works."
To be fair #JoshBlue & #JoeList are way funnier... [or #JeffAllen for the Boomers] But if we are talking about critics of society he was awesome for sure!!

"Like herpes, I just keep comin back" I wish this man could come back just one more time and give his veiws on today's society. RIP George, you legend!
George is the funniest and most intelligent comedian of all time. He makes you laugh and think at the same time. That's pure comedic genius. His material is still relevant today and I miss you thanks for everything.
My wish is to find like minded people who understand George's message and maybe find an answer to our problems we face. I relate alot to GC and I worry that others like him or myself or others, don't want to be found or be part of a people future. I know that with only a small ratio of actual humans like GC compared to any other group of people would honestly be able to make a massive impact positively for the future.
I'm 69 and my best excuses are "I dont care", "I don't want to" and "I don't feel like it, maybe next time". People just figure you're old and leave it alone. Yay George.
I'm not far behind you. I just can't wait for the excuse of "where am I" will cover my accidentally walking into the girls locker room. :) (just kidding prudes. get a life).
What a great guy. Always tried to warn us about this bs that's happening right now. He was a philosopher that happened to be a super funny, successful comedian. I still watch all of his recorded gigs.
They need to start playing clips of G.C. on the morning news!!!! Get some of these people up to date on how it's really always been in this country! He thinks with realism. Truth. Common sense.
Rosebine many have tried and many continue to try, but none can do it quite like he does. You’ve discovered the holy grail of comedy 🤣🤣 welcome Rosebine 🤗
I meat him at a book signing in petaluma ca around the time of this special. I was very unexpected by how star struck I got( I was 13 and meeting Rufus!) and he shook my hand and was of the best people I evere met. A great man
Great character, smart guy, genial comedian. Today? His humor is 100% true and like 90% forbiden. His attitude is really close to my nation. We are nation of cynic, stoic guys, carving black humor with shovels. Germans once called us ,,Laughing hyenas'' back in the days. And we are proud of that. I wish i could've meet Mr. Carlin in person. I Wish more people like him exist today... Rest in hell George, we all know you hate heaven. Its boring up there. John from Czech republic... 🙂
Thanks for posting this! I saw George in Greensboro nc in the nineties, found a yellow jacket pocket knife in my seat. He was great, first time I saw him was on the Flip Wilson's show. He did the nair on my hair routine. I was 8 or 9 loved him ever since. Cheers Julian
The best therapy is a good bunch of gc every day 🤣 he took comedy to a huge better level Cuz he knew what he was on about i loved his true to be the purest and honest self sense of humor cuz he didnt soften up at any curbs hahaha he rammed you directly into ya face with his stuff and it is defo more relevant than ever cuz if u look into todays lives man o man George carling knew it way back....already
this and life is worth losing are my favorite specials of his. some people say he got too old and dark but i laugh my ass off every time AND he's not wrong.
His humour went from being an "angry fuck" to having major psychotic hatreds as his grip on reality bit harder into his soul. Most people hold that shit in, he didn't. He got on that stage and he EXPRESSED himself. Long may George Carlin's philosophical rants be a part of our conscious souls.
Truly the most groundbreaking comedians along with the 1st.... Lenny Bruce. The insight, realism and absolute truth in his words every person needs to give serious reflection on.
Started listening to Carlin in the early 1970's when I was buying comedy albums with my allowance, after getting Bill Cosby I started out as a child from an aunt one birthday, I,of course found Lenny Bruce, Red Foxx amoung other comedians,some just one shot wonders, anybody else have a 45 of Ajax liquor store? And I think you can call me Ray you can call me Jay you can call me RJ but you don't have to call me Johnson was only funny once.And of course Cheech and Chong albums, Richard Pryor.it drove my parents crazy because of the language. Be sitting down in the basement with a half dozen friends with a Carlin album on the Technics turn table, usually class clown. With a bowl of weed going around just to have my mother come down with her glass of wine and want to listen,always a fun time because that's back when the old man would put a foot in your ass for smoking pot in his house. Thank God for the invention of 8-track tape so we could set out in the Vista cruiser smoke our marijuana and listen to Carlin. My first Carlin album was am and fm. George Carlin opened my eyes to reality, and look at things just a little differently than everybody else was. The year he passed away Comedy as we knew it died, remember that was also the year that Bernard McKenzie died.
I really wish i was the age i currently am when George was on top of the game. I wish i was in the audience and then shake his hand and tell him how much i like his mind and the truth he speaks.
My wish is to find like minded people who understand George's message and maybe find an answer to our problems we face. I relate alot to GC and I worry that others like him or myself or others, don't want to be found or be part of a people future. I know that with only a small ratio of actual humans like GC compared to any other group of people would honestly be able to make a massive impact positively for the future.
Check out Doug Stanhope, he is my favorite living comedian and he reminds me of Carlin in some ways. Similar cynical style that pisses certain people off and makes them uncomfortable.
Such an amazing show. I, personally, adore Jeorge's language. Not tough, as someone say, I suppose, but wise and fully understandable for everybody. Rest in peace, old dude.
He had a blast in the 60s and 70s and 80s n 90s and 2000s Idk why people keep talkin about Carlin and now. He's talkin back then, and its relevant to noe. Basically nothing's changed
i miss ol' Georgie ! if he was still here, he would have kept our society in check and people would have remembered to observe and THINK for themselves.
YES!!! I was at this show!!!…scored ticket for $20! It was weird, because it was filmed for HBO and it was f’n bright as fck!😳…but I was smart and wore my shades to the show…and you can find me in the crowd! Lol
I went thru my old rolodex and not one person was heard of in over 20 years I just keep it to look at all the old business cards I used while living in Vancouver... when a business card was unique & resembled who it represented

No trust words have ever been uttered .
Not trust you spellchecker, " truist " .
Same as the late great Patrice O'Neal.....too bad my brain conditioned for their comedy fifty years ago..
I had the honor of having him speak at my graduation. I attended Cardinal Hayes high school. So did George but he was kicked out 😂😂😂 . It was a great evening
The greatest comedian who EVER lived. PERIOD...RIP George we all miss you
Yeah, but he wasn't much of a comedian as much as he is a philosophical genius with a sense of humor
I see Him as a Man of Truth Who Was Extremely Funny.
@Tim M. George can't read your comment. Just so ya know.
When Johnny Carson was asked who was the smartest man he ever knew; his answer was “ George Carlin”. Carson interviewed the best and brightest, so he knows whereof he speaks.
Man.. The world needed more of George than we ever realized.
He always told the truth
It's insaine that this was performed 16 years ago!! Still releavent as ever in 2024
HE TOLD THE TRUTH...we need more people like him. The truth hurts, but it must be known. I am from South America & I am glad he teaches me the REAL HISTORY!!
Wish more people would go back and listen to this man!
Recorded 3 months before he passed! What a brain what a mind what a man and what a performer! I wonder what he would make of the damn country today! He would tear the ass out of life today!
Really? 3 months?
The modern culture was apparent while he was alive and he addressed most of it...
This was recorded March 1st, 2008. He died June 22nd, 2008.
Ya know what though? He kinda says d it all here. What he’s saying still applies to all the bs today.
How awesome for you! He's my all time favorite comedian, & I never got a chance to see him live. Good thing he left such a great legacy! RIP George!
Simply the funniest and most thought provoking comedian of all time. Thank you for making my life better. I miss you.
Pure common sense and critical thinking delivered through comedy...genius.
Well said n summed up.

12 years after his death, hes still teaching us on current events :O
So true.. This applies to current events sooooooo much.
if he were alive i wonder what he would say about the world today.
Yes sir
Not possible
always will.
2024 this man is more relevant than ever before.

If you brought Carlin back from the dead, he would hate you for it. He was utterly repulsed with humans as a species and Americans in particular. He had seen enough and didn't want to see more.
"Nobody cares about your kids. That's why they're YOU'RE kids." Love it!

Nobody cares about *your* grammar

My first Carlin album was am and fm. George Carlin opened my eyes to reality, and look at things just a little differently than everybody else was. The year he passed away Comedy as we knew it died, remember that was also the year that Bernard McKenzie died.
this isn't comedy... this is prophecy.... pure genius
Holy cow. That was just was what I needed .....A super GOOD LAUGH..
I saw this Carlin tour - laughed so hard, I had the exact same pain in my stomach from the first time I saw Georgie in 1999!
I really wish i was the age i currently am when George was on top of the game. I wish i was in the audience and then shake his hand and tell him how much i like his mind and the truth he speaks.
Absolutely
I’d love to hear Carlin’s take on some of the crazy current events in our country today. Most comedians don’t have the balls to speak TRUTH anymore.
In the post-truth era and Donald Trump as President? Good Lord, that would be a legendary comedy special!
My wish is to find like minded people who understand George's message and maybe find an answer to our problems we face. I relate alot to GC and I worry that others like him or myself or others, don't want to be found or be part of a people future.
I know that with only a small ratio of actual humans like GC compared to any other group of people would honestly be able to make a massive impact positively for the future.
Check out Doug Stanhope, he is my favorite living comedian and he reminds me of Carlin in some ways. Similar cynical style that pisses certain people off and makes them uncomfortable.
If he lived to know donald trump, he would fucking explode
Remember ‘The HIPPIE DIPPY WEATHERMAN. ? Way back on some summer show, Lord I miss him, he was a REALIST ! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
That's one of the most entertaining 1 hour I've ever spent listening to sth on youtube.
Such an amazing show. I, personally, adore Jeorge's language. Not tough, as someone say, I suppose, but wise and fully understandable for everybody. Rest in peace, old dude.
YOU JUST HAVE TO LOVE GEORGE CARLIN. RAW UNFILTERED TRUTH.
He would have a blast in 2020.. miss you George...
Larry Southern yes, also listening right now because of this virus bs
He had a blast in the 60s and 70s and 80s n 90s and 2000s
Idk why people keep talkin about Carlin and now. He's talkin back then, and its relevant to noe. Basically nothing's changed
And George can't hear you miss him.
Fuck Bill Gates is what would be coming out his mouth .. wish we could hear him today..
i miss ol' Georgie ! if he was still here, he would have kept our society in check and people would have remembered to observe and THINK for themselves.
You still make us think George. You were one of the kind. Miss you.
AHEAD OF HIS TIME, WISH HE WAS CHIMING IN ON TODAY...WUD B HILARIOUS
Less than 4 months after this show was recorded he was dead. George Carlin, dearly missed.
YES!!! I was at this show!!!…scored ticket for $20! It was weird, because it was filmed for HBO and it was f’n bright as fck!😳…but I was smart and wore my shades to the show…and you can find me in the crowd! Lol
I bet it was great
Are you the fat naked well endowed man with the mustache
George Carlin, you're comedy will always be relevant 🙏
Thank you George for teaching us to question stuff and for teaching us English
I went thru my old rolodex and not one person was heard of in over 20 years I just keep it to look at all the old business cards I used while living in Vancouver... when a business card was unique & resembled who it represented
We need a U.S. President and world leaders like George Carlin. He will be missed but his comedy will live forever. R.I.P.
The one and only. No other comedian comes close.
