George Denis Patrick Carlin (May 12, 1937 – June 22, 2008) was an American stand-up comedian, often considered one of the best of all time. He was also an actor and author, and won four Grammy Awards for his comedy albums.
Carlin was noted for his black humor as well as insights 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 narrow 5–4 decision by the justices affirmed the government's power to regulate indecent material on the public airwaves.
In the 1990s and 2000s, Carlin's stand-up routines focused on the flaws in modern-day America. He often took on contemporary political issues in the United States and satirized the excesses of American culture.
Carlin was placed second on the Comedy Central cable television network list of the 100 greatest stand-up comedians, ahead of Lenny Bruce and behind Richard Pryor.[21] He was a frequent performer and guest host on The Tonight Show during the three-decade Johnny Carson era, and was also the first person to host Saturday Night Live.

Comment by TheGratefulNed on November 20, 2008 at 5:56am: I loved Carlin's massively influential body of work. I have several of his CDs and his books are on my wish list (read: my wish I had money to buy all the books I want list). My only regret is that I never got to see him live; The few times he was around this area I was flat broke.

Comment by Frank on November 9, 2008 at 11:46am: In my opinion, he's the best comedian and one of the most brilliant people I've ever heard. Absolutely hysterical material and truly is missed. I still can't believe he is gone.

Comment by Jack (Jeber) Carlson on October 16, 2008 at 8:26pm: One of my favorite Carlin interviews, conducted by Chris Rock. The language is as you might expect course, so I'll link to it on an equally course blog instead of embedding it. http://heathenqueer.com/?p=96
