He was the first host of SNL. That is an awesome claim.
I would like to do a little tribute to George since he was one funny bastard that told it like it is, and pretty much said fuck you to everyone and everything that pissed him off.
I think it's the duty of the comedian to find out where the line is drawn and cross it deliberately. - George Carlin
He'll be best known for his "7 things you can't say on TV" skit;
But you need see his other bits too:
George Carlin on Religion:
George Carlin on the 10 Commandments:
George Carlin on Pro-Life/Abortions:
George Carlin on Death:
Not only was George Carlin and outstanding stand up comedian, but he also appeared in numerous movies:
- Dogma (Cardinal Glick...think buddy Christ)
- Scary Movie 3 (The Architect)
- Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back (Hitchhiker)
- Jersey Girl (Bart Trinke)
- Bill & Teds Excellent Adventure (Rufus)
You'll notice that he stars in most of Kevin Smith's movies, they were particularly close and Kevin does an awesome tribute to him as "A God who Cussed".
Well this ends my little tribute to the great man. The world is a little colder now.
I'll close with some more of his golden quotes;
If it's true that our species is alone in the universe, then I'd have to say that the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little. - George Carlin
The very existence of flamethrowers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, "You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done." - George Carlin
I thought about how mothers feed their babies with tiny little spoons and forks so I wondered, what do Chinese mothers use? Toothpicks? - George Carlin
[on driving] Ever notice that anyone going slower than you is an idiot, but anyone going faster is a maniac? - George Carlin
