All i can say about the man who literally changed my life is that i got to see him live back in '04 and i still have the ticket stub. One of my most cherished items.
George Carlin and Rogan have something in common, a charisma that makes them so entertaining to watch, the difference is that one was a highly educated man that talked about what he saw on society and wasn’t afraid of calling bullshit on anything, and the other is an overhyped donkey that follows trends
George Carlin was, and we forever be, an absolute legend. Sure, he had a couple of rough spots and times over his approximately FIVE DECADES of comedic artistry. However, he always managed to keep on evolving and telling his truth, telling much truth, and he took comedy to a realm that nobody else ever did. I first discovered his work when I was in high school, in the mid 90s, and it was some of the absolute most intelligent and hilarious material that I have ever experienced. He came to my city once and I will always cherish the fact that I was able to see him perform live. I cannot express how much I wish that he would have lived to continue to offer his insight through the past 10-15 years or so. I really feel that he should have been presented with some sort of pristine award for his work; work that kept us all informed and entertained for decades. His work did get darker as the years passed, but that simply coincided with the continuing decay of our society and his continuing and expanding willingness to address things accordingly. I will forever be thankful for his creative insight, opinions, and his courage to stand up and say what he felt was necessary to address. Eternal respect for the master, G.C.
“A pristine award for his work”? That goes against everything George stood for. If any organization would try to give George an award, he would have said, go fuck yourself.
God I miss him.....I think George went so far down the rabbit hole so long ago that there wasn't anyone else around for so long.....RIP George weluvyababy!
And complete garbage politicians. If we could go back to 1998 and tell him all about Marjorie Taylor Greene, he would feel justified in every prediction he ever made.
George was a political satirist and had a clear objective perception of how vulture capitalism has corrupted the human spirit. He made it his business to hold up the mirror so we could see ourselves as we have become under this massive corporate consumer culture that is hell-bent on destroying life itself. He understood the system from top to bottom and had the genius and courage to not pull any punches. It is his voice we need now more than ever. George is a true hero, a saint.
@Remix God I would like to hear how you arrived at calling me a PC liberal after reading the paragraph. It is really important to have some qualifiers when you are passing severe judgment on another person. I disdain PC culture and liberals.
George Carlin’s last years and last two HBO specials before he passed away were probably his best because he spoke the hard truth. They’re even more true today than ever. In fact, a lot of the things he said went way over his audience’s heads if you listen to their reaction, which sometimes was silence. Everything from bad parenting, children’s feelings being over protected which is creating a new adult population who grow up never knowing or understanding the truth about themselves, corruption in our government, finance, and politics, our American slogans and traditions that don’t have any real meaning. God Bless George Carlin for speaking the truth. I only wish He could be resurrected to hear what he would say in 2019. It would be a 10 hour special.
God bless George Carlin? God doesn't exist. George Carlin thought the notion of god was ludicrous . What a fucking brain dead thing to comment in a comment section discussing George Carlin
This is true, he didn't believe in God, cause he was really good at burying those thoughts within himself, everyone can do it, but that doesn't mean it should be done. George was given an amazing platform to speak the truth, but unfortunately the only truth he understood, is what his eyes could see, but I can guarantee you right now, that if he could be brought back from the dead, he would not have the same opinion about God anymore, and that is what happens when you you leave this temporary place of life and move on to the next, and are now living an eternal life away from a loving God as George is doing now, it's heartbreaking really, cause nobody is forced to go to hell, they choose to go there, i just don't understand, and I never will why anyone would make that decision a reality, it's not necessary, yet people do it every single day, it's a shame, but it is what it is.
George didn't pass away. He also didn't expire, like a magazine subscription. He died! And why are people getting so triggered about God? For one thing, don't take everything so literally. Don't think of God as a bearded dude in the sky. Hardcore atheists might still like this idea of God: czcams.com/video/USg3NR76XpQ/video.html (timestamp included), I don't know how you could refute it.
My ex-husband and I waited outside our tiny local theatre in our little college town to meet George Carlin back in the early 2000s. Instead of being driven by someone or having an entourage, he pulled up in a Toyota and walked towards us, humming merrily. We had one of his albums and asked if he could sign it. He did it with pleasure and then I said, "Have a good show!" and he thanked me. Totally down-to-earth human being. RIP.
George Carlin, the best reality comedian in the world. Ever, to me. He is so intelligent and brave, with telling people stories which weren't popular in the mainstream.
Carlin had a history of heart problems spanning three decades. These included heart attacks in 1978, 1982, and 1991; an arrhythmia requiring an ablation procedure in 2003; a significant episode of heart failure in late 2005; and two angioplasties.[71] On June 22, 2008, at the age of 71, he died of heart failure at Saint John's Health Center in Santa Monica, California.[72][73] His death occurred one week after his last performance at The Orleans Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. In accordance with his wishes, his body was cremated and his ashes were scattered in front of various nightclubs he had played in New York City and over Spofford Lake in New Hampshire, where he had fond memories of attending summer camp as an adolescent.[74]
"The very existance of flamethrowers means, that somewere, someone said: - Hey, I would like to set those people over there on fire, but im just not close enough to do it." - Carlin had a way of getting to the point of the matter....
Adomaster123 yeah but Carlin jokes about stupid people but doesn't know what he's talking about you don't see the irony in wargent trying to educate everyone yet all the dumb people (including you) shitting on the educated person? Carlin rolling in his grave
wargent99 Yes which soldiers would be inside. Get a strange feeling unless they were fire retardant they too would be on fire which primarily leads to death or extreme injury then death.
Carlin was a visionary. Amongst the most intelligent man that ever existed. I mean what he talked about back in 80s is soooo relevant today, it just amazes me. He was ahead of its time man
Carlin's incident during his Vagas residency was in 2004, four years before he died. After a short stint in rehab, Carlin continued to perform until he die. Also his last two specials are great.

Netflix doesn’t want to redpill people. George was the king of redpilling. Netflix is in the business of keeping society in a drooling trance. Thanks Obama!
George Carlin is one of the most brilliant and timeless comedians in the history of the country. It was almost as if he could see the future. I’m sure that he had bad shows but most comedians are sad or depressed and tortured souls with humor being a way for them to cope.
He was joking, that's what comedians do for God's sake. The fact that there may have been truth (as he saw it) to his observations doesn't mean it wasn't still a comedy routine. I mean, if his title was stand-up comic, then that's what he was. I doubt most of his audience didn't understand that he was referring to actual real life concepts in his act and thought he was just making things up that didn't exist.
I don't think George is that funny but he was incredibly entertaining. He influenced a lot of my opinions today. Joe's standup is unwatchable but he's my favorite sports commentator. Everyone has their thing
Uncle Nature Agreed. Funny and “entertaining” are really NICHES that people develop. I can’t imagine Will Ferrell doing stand up, but his movies (overall) are funny. Chevy Chase was the same way. Couldn’t ad lib for shit, but his movies are, overall, funny the classics being the National Lampoon series. If I had to pick one that was funny on stage AND made some really good flicks it’d be Steve Martin, I’m sure there’s some I’m not thinking of. Oh, and Richard Pryor’s movies sucked. Gene Wilder and he were great together though.
The thing about Carlin was that he chose every single word carefully. He was a writer with the ability to perform comedically better than anyone. Not everything was perfect, but the reason he read so much on tour was that he was working his shit out for the next special, same as anyone. And he wrote a LOT. And he had to see what worked, just like any comic. But he was working out the language as much as anything. He was a virtuoso of the written word, and he memorized his entire special word for word, not just the general idea of a joke. A lot of people, I feel, didn’t understand that, so reading from a notebook didn’t make sense to them. George changed my life by opening my mind and I will always appreciate the way he honed his craft.
No, he did not die in a hotel, Rogan. He died after waking up with chest pain at his home in Santa Monica. He died in the hospital with heart failure, later that evening. He was to be awarded the Mark Twain award two weeks later.
Carlin was a true American treasure. Amazing to think an older man like that seen things decades ahead of it's time and wasn't brainwashed by all he had seen and heard throughout his life
@@patricktan7120 well, for one, George Didnt read his last special, and overall performed really well, as well as his material was great. Second, he died in a hospital, about a week after he was taken there because of his fourth and final heart attack.
You have to remember, his televised comedy shows were done after he'd done the routines over and over again. He wasn't having off nights, he was writing and working on new material. Anyone who's creative and writing new stuff will write and rewrite based on the reactions of crowds and their own ideas. Nobody has ever just written a one shot comedy sketch and went out and performed it and that's that. A new idea progresses and evolves into what makes it comedy gold.
Carlin insults humanity and the audience, also humanity, all erupt into laughter. Carlin tries to stop them "You people are all pieces of shit! No Im serious! Stop laughing!". Rick from rick and morty if he was a stand up comedian.
LOL Carlin's last TWO specials (both occurred after the incident) are two of his best. Light-years ahead of anything either of these guys could dream of. EDIT: They're called Life is Worth Losing and It's Bad for Ya. Watch both and judge for yourself, they're outstanding!
George did not die in a hotel room, he died of heart failure at Saint John's Health Center in Santa Monica, a week after his last performance in Vegas. He had a long history of heart problems, and heart attacks. He died in a hospital and was not at a hotel for a show.
@@aiydanf are you a professional comedian? If you were, you would have more credible information about the comedy community. I think you're the one out of your depth.
@@bonelessflea The deleted special was in 2001, which actually the majority of it was re-shot as Complaints and Grievances which was fully released in video and everything by HBO December 2001. Carlin then went on to do 2 more HBO specials. So thats misinformation number 1 Next is the rehab, He signed himself up to rehab for alcohol and Vicodin. That was in 2004, Carlin did 2 more specials after that. Misinformation 2 Not to mention the set that he talked about was simply just people heckling him, and him telling them "Thank you very much, whatever that was. I hope it was positive; if not, well, blow me.". The hotel MGM Grand kicked him out right after that. (barely a bad set, bill burr who is another fantastic comedian said way worse things to hecklers in philly.) The special where George Carlin is reading of "half of it" sorry but I have watched every Carlin special multiple times, and that doesnt happen in a single one. Complete misinformation. The whole IRS thing, that was during the 80s and 90s, which most people consider to be the beginning of Carlin's creative peak, as Carlin describes it: "It made me a way better comedian. Because I had to stay out on the road and I couldn't pursue that movie career, which would have gone nowhere, and I became a really good comic and a really good writer". Lastly George Carlins last special got awarded a GRAMMY, his second to last was also nominated, and the one before that (which was the the one based on the 9/11 one, as Jeselnik described as "its not great" ) also won another Grammy. Anthony Jeselnik is the one who is clearly out of his depth. He talks out of his ass, and acts like he knows what he is talking about when a quick google search proves pretty much everything he said to be wrong. You have to be an absolute *fuckwit* to trash someones name when you clearly have *no* idea what you are talking about.
Exactly. This fucking ditchbag commenting. I think his name is Dillon Shitpickle? 😂 And Rogan. Carlin is one of the all time greats. When I saw him at a casino he sucked. So disappointing. Didn't diminish his greatest moments.
A few observations. Full disclosure, George Carlin has been the biggest hero in my life for well over 15 years, so there's likely some bias here. 1. Despite Joe mentioning George as one of the greatest comedians of all-time, Rogan has never given George Carlin the rightful credit he deserves as a Mount Rushmore figure in the world of comedy. I've watched hundreds of his Rogan's podcasts and he somehow manages to discredit George's incredible contributions to the world of comedy. The sole reason Joe is producing a comedy special on a 1-2 year basis is based on the groundwork laid down from George. 2. Anthony Jeselnik is completely inaccurate with many of his facts. Carlin's Vegas residency took place in 2004 and he remained active for another 4 years, with two additional HBO specials. Both were very well done. 3. Speaking specifically on It's Bad For Ya in 2008, it certainly wasn't George's greatest hour of stand up, but it was FAR from horrendous. The notion that he simply "read" his act off a teleprompter is absurd. 4. Yes, there were lines that George would recycle from time to time such as his opener on Abortion, but by and large, Carlin would completely throw out his entire act and start with completely fresh material. I found this hypocritical as Joe even noted that on previous episodes of his podcast. This is one of the few times I must give Joe a thumbs down.
I think there's also a bias there. George Carlin is my number one standup and I never got to see him live. I'm 39 years old, been a fan since 90-91; never saw him live. I've known people who have, multiple times, and they'll tell you that while he's fantastic, he does have some off nights where he just gets kinda lazy or reads off of a piece of paper or has huge rants. That said, yea, his last couple of specials were very dark and very good. Every artist as prolific as George will have off nights or even be off for stretches of time. But he's absolutely the best there ever was, and I think by far the most fearless (or brave depending on your view).
the one time I got to see Carlin live was when he was practicing the "I kinda like it when a lot of people die" (and yes, he did read it from a card, and had a good joke about how he would be reading from a card) at Humphries by the Bay in San Diego. Absolutely epic set, but had no idea it would be such a legendary pulled sketch shortly after
Bill Hicks was even more “ok the money” if u ask me...but don’t get me wrong - I love Carlin! it is ca 10 years since his death and he is still really really relevant... (Which is kinda sad for our society)
We saw Carlin the last time he came to Birmingham to the Alabama Theater before he died, and we watched him literally run people out of his show because some of them came just because they had season tickets & had no idea who he was or what he did. It was fucking hilarious. He was working on new material, and it was an absolute honor to get to see him live like that working from his yellow legal pad.
George was incredible due to the fact that his mind was blown wide open and the line between right and wrong was permanently blurred. And he was delivering these unbiased, uncolored realizations to an audience that was deeply entrenched in the right/wrong philosophy. So, his rants greatly liberated an audience from their social conditioning and really made people think for themselves again. Once in a while, he came off, a little too raw or did not fully work out the material but a bad night could happen to anyone. He worked hard at his craft. In his younger years, he was cute and funny. But as years went on, he did get a bit grumpy. But, he is by far my favorite and I honor and respect his great, great, great contribution to the advancement of human consciousness. He was a true thinker. To hear him tell his life story is so much fun.
i'm a lyricist so i particularly admire his perception on language. his wordplay and punchlines were clever and his delivery was immaculate, he actually would have been a great battle rapper lol but you can tell he had a reverence for writing and was hyper focused on language which is where a lot of his bits originated from. Def my #1 i miss him
Sooooo many people dont understand when I say this. He's just not funny to me on stage. But I absolutely love the podcast. I mean, I loved Magic Johnson during Showtime, but I didn't watch The Magic Hour while it was on.
@Harry Dingling yeah man but twitter and youtube comments its either is was horrible or it was amazing, no in between. you dont get 1000 likes saying it was decent
George Carlin's material is still as relevant today as when it was released. So he WON! Most comedy bits don't hold up as much. Even though I may have seen his material before, it still makes me laugh Everytime
Carin’s output from 1990-2008 is the greatest body of work of all time. To imply that he got worse, when he was sharper every time, is not only insane, but disrespectful of your own craft. Did he stumble a couple times on the final special? Yes. But he was writing at a level that most veteran comics can’t even dream to achieve. And no, he didn’t have the video destroyed from a special. He didn’t film a special before he was off-book. Those were his own personal reference tapes while he was workshopping and memorizing the material
My coworker who is now retired, did a job for Carlin. Said Carlin was down to earth and asked him about his trade. And was an all around decent person. He was the real deal.
Aaaa Bbbb I think to find someone funny, you have to find them at least somewhat likeable or at least of that impression of them. I could never really laugh at someone’s comedy if i thoroughly find that person repulsive, no matter how good their jokes were and how great their delivery was.
Exactly like the people who hate trump..he says hilarious things all the time but since they were brainwashed by the media no matter what he does or says they see him as repulsive
@wargent99 While those things are true, the oceans are almost out of fish, 200 species of plant of animal go extinct every single day, and climate scientists say the world's setting off on a domino effect of natural disasters: the ice sheets melting, the forests burning, coral bleaching, and soil eroding. Just because good things are happening doesn't mean the bad things cancel out. We're talking about the *Apocalypse*. Not to mention the USA, UK, Australia, Russia, China, Brazil, Turkey and more all being run fascists.
wargent99 Nah, I completely disagree. You are misinformed or unaware of reality👥. In 2010, 5 billion out of 7 billion people on the planet are poor, 3 billion of them are dirt poor, and that is according to a UN population data. FYI, peace.
George was the greatest! Probably my most admired person for me. My father was a Milwaukee Police Officer & got walk him out of the Milwaukee County Jail in 72’. I think thats his favorite memory of his 30 year career.
Maybe they say this later in the video..I paused it when they talked about Carlin's death...He did not die in a motel room....He died at St. John's Health Center in Santa Monica....he did the rehab 4 years before he passed, I think he had performed his last show a week or so before passing.
@@waynedeadder664 Yeah...good thing they can't put anything on the internet that isn't true, right? lol. I have loved and followed Carlin since I first saw him on HBO when I was a kid in the 80s. Even back when I was 10, he made me think about things differently...and just think about things in general. Always makes me mad when people post videos and do absolutely no research, or checking of the facts they think they know. I would rather find out I was wrong about something and correct it BEFORE I make a video spreading ignorance to the world....there are enough people out there talking about things they do not know about...lol.
I really can not think of any of his specials I didn't love..lol. Still do. Look how many things he said that we have seen play out in front of our eyes. i discovered him early on in life...HBO stand up specials used to be so great. Catlin on Campus was one of the first ones I remember sitting and watching. His books are great, too. I have Brain Droppings and Napalm and Silly Putty. Great stuff. There really will never be anyone like him again.
Old guy here, I saw Carlin in Las Vegas in 1981 when he just released "A place for my stuff". Brilliant ! Just jokes about human nature. And weirdly back then the opening act was dancing Vegas Showgirls with the giant feather costumes...
forman208 Terry Bradshaw is in my eyes the equivalent to George. I view him as the greatest of all time. He probably wouldn’t do “great” in the modern form of football but when he played, football was a lot less about super human speed and strength and more about the fundamentals and actual mind of the game. Just like George. George’s material wasn’t always fall out of your chair funny but was deep and thought provoking. It was an intellectual analysis of the world around him through his eyes. Just like Terry Bradshaw he is the best in my eyes but would not be able to exist in today’s comedy scene. He would speak too much truth and not conform to the soft language that he despised that currently has the world by the throat. Peyton Manning has a better “arm” than Bradshaw. Tom Segura has jokes that are “funnier” than George’s. But that’s not necessarily what defines you as the greatest. That’s not putting down Tom or Peyton, just that the best “arm” or “funniest joke” aren’t all that matters sometimes
Thank you, it was really annoying me how wrong (as usual) they get everything, because they don't have computers around them or anything to look up their stupid assumptions.
So crazy. I haven’t seen his last live moments. But he was still good. He got old. But he held down. He left 16 million to his family. Look at his very first stand up
Joe and Anthony are talking about the lengends worst moments but I feel like even the most bland of Carlin's jokes outshine 90% of their material. And I like Joe and Anthony.
It’s all subjective man. From what I’ve seen, Carlin was just a really pessimistic guy and there wasn’t much that was funny about that. Louis CK and Burr have both called Carlin the greatest, and I respect his talent but I never found him funny. Joe and Anthony are both funnier than me and I can still be like “yeah Carlin would complain too much about menial crap” and it’s still a valid opinion regardless of me not being a comedian.
In 1997, after suffering with liver cancer for over a year, George's wife of 36 years died. He has said he took LSD, mescaline, etc. to escape the painful mental & emotional torment. He had a bunch of bad years where he was bitter & resentful and his comedy suffered. It was the worst time to go to one of his concerts. But he's still my favorite, "Seven Dirty Words!"
Frank Feliz I realize you were replying to Mike but the reason I’m hear is because, this is a talk show and Joe is great at interviewing. He’s also a funny guy but as a stand up comedian, he’s not one of the greats!
Lol compare Carlin’s worst to joe and Anthony’s best times ten and it’s still not even close. Hell, compare Carlin’s best diarrhea to their best specials, their magnum opus’ and Carlin still easily wins
When he was touring before the HBO specials he would bring notes out on stage, because he was perfecting the routine. I seen him early 00's he would reference his notes, not read them.
What ¡s amazing about Carlin is that he got better and better with age. His last 4 specials were mind blowing. When they reference him on TV they always mention his "7 dirty words" routine, which is not even one-tenth as good as his later stuff. By comparison practically all musicians get stale with age and their latter work pales in comparison with their earlier work. Pure genius this guy.
I love George Carlin, he would expose everything about our society non stop. In his own way he was trying to wake our asses up long before it was popular to be "woke".
On June 22, 2008, he died of heart failure at Saint John's Health Center in Santa Monica, California, at the age of 71. His death occurred one week after his last performance at The Orleans Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.
I was working in the Casbah Lounge at the Sahara Hotel around 1977-78 and Jack Eglash, the entertainment guy, had Carlin in the Copa Room, the hotel’s main room. Eglash actually took a big chance booking Carlin because this was when he (Carlin) had shed the tuxedo and was doing mostly college gigs. I actually met Carlin about a year or so after that at a Holiday Inn I was working at and Carlin was staying in, in Buena Park. I think his wife was in a show at the Cerritos Theater at the time. We talked about that gig and how Eglash broke ground with that booking. Eglash also had Anita O’Day in the lounge too. That was a crazy booking…..a semi-burnt out female jazz singer….who would sing sometimes with her back to the audience. I thought that both bookings were great. David Frye and Jackie Vernon were also in the lounge, although not at the same time.
It was good, he was just getting old/sick and didn't have the energy he used to. He also aged faster so at 71 he seemed 80, but his mind was sharp as ever.
If u didnt get carlin u will never get it. He was a philosopher and predicted today. He didnt do rough sets u guys just dont understand what he wanted to convey thru some type of dark comedy. Disrespecting him is not cool. He is a legend. Ppl always came back to see him no matter what u guys say. Cheers.
"He had a breakdown and was cursing out the crowd and never performed again." "He was still performing when he died." "Yeah I believe that." The mating call of the guy who just says shit.
They don't know shit and it's frustrating to watch. Joe is usually so well informed, but doesnt know much about George Carlin, one of the greatest ever.

In my opinion Carlin didn't hit his prime as a comic until late in his life. I enjoyed his comedy much more when he got older
@@joshmac2106 he would have "killed himself"
George Carlin was, and we forever be, an absolute legend. Sure, he had a couple of rough spots and times over his approximately FIVE DECADES of comedic artistry. However, he always managed to keep on evolving and telling his truth, telling much truth, and he took comedy to a realm that nobody else ever did. I first discovered his work when I was in high school, in the mid 90s, and it was some of the absolute most intelligent and hilarious material that I have ever experienced. He came to my city once and I will always cherish the fact that I was able to see him perform live. I cannot express how much I wish that he would have lived to continue to offer his insight through the past 10-15 years or so. I really feel that he should have been presented with some sort of pristine award for his work; work that kept us all informed and entertained for decades. His work did get darker as the years passed, but that simply coincided with the continuing decay of our society and his continuing and expanding willingness to address things accordingly. I will forever be thankful for his creative insight, opinions, and his courage to stand up and say what he felt was necessary to address. Eternal respect for the master, G.C.

George was a political satirist and had a clear objective perception of how vulture capitalism has corrupted the human spirit. He made it his business to hold up the mirror so we could see ourselves as we have become under this massive corporate consumer culture that is hell-bent on destroying life itself. He understood the system from top to bottom and had the genius and courage to not pull any punches. It is his voice we need now more than ever. George is a true hero, a saint.

I agree he made me laugh at the absurdidy of it all
George Carlin’s last years and last two HBO specials before he passed away were probably his best because he spoke the hard truth. They’re even more true today than ever. In fact, a lot of the things he said went way over his audience’s heads if you listen to their reaction, which sometimes was silence. Everything from bad parenting, children’s feelings being over protected which is creating a new adult population who grow up never knowing or understanding the truth about themselves, corruption in our government, finance, and politics, our American slogans and traditions that don’t have any real meaning. God Bless George Carlin for speaking the truth. I only wish He could be resurrected to hear what he would say in 2019. It would be a 10 hour special.
God bless George Carlin? God doesn't exist. George Carlin thought the notion of god was ludicrous . What a fucking brain dead thing to comment in a comment section discussing George Carlin
This is true, he didn't believe in God, cause he was really good at burying those thoughts within himself, everyone can do it, but that doesn't mean it should be done. George was given an amazing platform to speak the truth, but unfortunately the only truth he understood, is what his eyes could see, but I can guarantee you right now, that if he could be brought back from the dead, he would not have the same opinion about God anymore, and that is what happens when you you leave this temporary place of life and move on to the next, and are now living an eternal life away from a loving God as George is doing now, it's heartbreaking really, cause nobody is forced to go to hell, they choose to go there, i just don't understand, and I never will why anyone would make that decision a reality, it's not necessary, yet people do it every single day, it's a shame, but it is what it is.

My ex-husband and I waited outside our tiny local theatre in our little college town to meet George Carlin back in the early 2000s. Instead of being driven by someone or having an entourage, he pulled up in a Toyota and walked towards us, humming merrily. We had one of his albums and asked if he could sign it. He did it with pleasure and then I said, "Have a good show!" and he thanked me. Totally down-to-earth human being. RIP.
George Carlin, the best reality comedian in the world. Ever, to me. He is so intelligent and brave, with telling people stories which weren't popular in the mainstream.

Carlin had a history of heart problems spanning three decades. These included heart attacks in 1978, 1982, and 1991; an arrhythmia requiring an ablation procedure in 2003; a significant episode of heart failure in late 2005; and two angioplasties.[71] On June 22, 2008, at the age of 71, he died of heart failure at Saint John's Health Center in Santa Monica, California.[72][73] His death occurred one week after his last performance at The Orleans Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. In accordance with his wishes, his body was cremated and his ashes were scattered in front of various nightclubs he had played in New York City and over Spofford Lake in New Hampshire, where he had fond memories of attending summer camp as an adolescent.[74]

George Carlin is one of the most brilliant and timeless comedians in the history of the country. It was almost as if he could see the future.
I’m sure that he had bad shows but most comedians are sad or depressed and tortured souls with humor being a way for them to cope.
He was and still is a legend. The made painful truth funny. He sparked minds towards the truth. Rip
He helped people to wake up, for sure.
Carlin is a legend, a philosopher. Pointing out the truth to the world and America but they think he’s joking
All great comedians are philosophers, but not all great philosophers are comedians.
He was joking, that's what comedians do for God's sake. The fact that there may have been truth (as he saw it) to his observations doesn't mean it wasn't still a comedy routine. I mean, if his title was stand-up comic, then that's what he was. I doubt most of his audience didn't understand that he was referring to actual real life concepts in his act and thought he was just making things up that didn't exist.
"when you're born into this world you get a ticket to the freak show...if you're born in america you get a front row seat." -George Carlin
Only stupid america think is a joke
Maybe a legend to you clowns, a monster to others.
Im pretty sure Carlins worst special is still better than Joe's best special.
I don't think George is that funny but he was incredibly entertaining. He influenced a lot of my opinions today. Joe's standup is unwatchable but he's my favorite sports commentator. Everyone has their thing
Jay thank you for some refreshing nuance.
I don't find Joe funny at all in standup. He's a much better podcaster.
Strange Times is pretty good. I love Joe but I’m not really that into a lot of his stand up. And Carlin was the GOAT IMO
Uncle Nature Agreed. Funny and “entertaining” are really NICHES that people develop. I can’t imagine Will Ferrell doing stand up, but his movies (overall) are funny. Chevy Chase was the same way. Couldn’t ad lib for shit, but his movies are, overall, funny the classics being the National Lampoon series. If I had to pick one that was funny on stage AND made some really good flicks it’d be Steve Martin, I’m sure there’s some I’m not thinking of.
Oh, and Richard Pryor’s movies sucked. Gene Wilder and he were great together though.
The thing about Carlin was that he chose every single word carefully. He was a writer with the ability to perform comedically better than anyone. Not everything was perfect, but the reason he read so much on tour was that he was working his shit out for the next special, same as anyone. And he wrote a LOT. And he had to see what worked, just like any comic. But he was working out the language as much as anything. He was a virtuoso of the written word, and he memorized his entire special word for word, not just the general idea of a joke. A lot of people, I feel, didn’t understand that, so reading from a notebook didn’t make sense to them. George changed my life by opening my mind and I will always appreciate the way he honed his craft.
Yes George understood the beauty of the absurdity of words. They're not always cheap!
No, he did not die in a hotel, Rogan. He died after waking up with chest pain at his home in Santa Monica. He died in the hospital with heart failure, later that evening. He was to be awarded the Mark Twain award two weeks later.

Second, he died in a hospital, about a week after he was taken there because of his fourth and final heart attack.
You have to remember, his televised comedy shows were done after he'd done the routines over and over again. He wasn't having off nights, he was writing and working on new material. Anyone who's creative and writing new stuff will write and rewrite based on the reactions of crowds and their own ideas. Nobody has ever just written a one shot comedy sketch and went out and performed it and that's that. A new idea progresses and evolves into what makes it comedy gold.
George knew the scam, so got frustrated that the sheep laughed at themselves

@@bonelessflea The deleted special was in 2001, which actually the majority of it was re-shot as Complaints and Grievances which was fully released in video and everything by HBO December 2001. Carlin then went on to do 2 more HBO specials. So thats misinformation number 1
Next is the rehab, He signed himself up to rehab for alcohol and Vicodin. That was in 2004, Carlin did 2 more specials after that. Misinformation 2
Not to mention the set that he talked about was simply just people heckling him, and him telling them "Thank you very much, whatever that was. I hope it was positive; if not, well, blow me.". The hotel MGM Grand kicked him out right after that. (barely a bad set, bill burr who is another fantastic comedian said way worse things to hecklers in philly.)
The special where George Carlin is reading of "half of it" sorry but I have watched every Carlin special multiple times, and that doesnt happen in a single one. Complete misinformation.
The whole IRS thing, that was during the 80s and 90s, which most people consider to be the beginning of Carlin's creative peak, as Carlin describes it: "It made me a way better comedian. Because I had to stay out on the road and I couldn't pursue that movie career, which would have gone nowhere, and I became a really good comic and a really good writer".
Lastly George Carlins last special got awarded a GRAMMY, his second to last was also nominated, and the one before that (which was the the one based on the 9/11 one, as Jeselnik described as "its not great" ) also won another Grammy.
Anthony Jeselnik is the one who is clearly out of his depth.

A few observations. Full disclosure, George Carlin has been the biggest hero in my life for well over 15 years, so there's likely some bias here.
1. Despite Joe mentioning George as one of the greatest comedians of all-time, Rogan has never given George Carlin the rightful credit he deserves as a Mount Rushmore figure in the world of comedy. I've watched hundreds of his Rogan's podcasts and he somehow manages to discredit George's incredible contributions to the world of comedy. The sole reason Joe is producing a comedy special on a 1-2 year basis is based on the groundwork laid down from George.
2. Anthony Jeselnik is completely inaccurate with many of his facts. Carlin's Vegas residency took place in 2004 and he remained active for another 4 years, with two additional HBO specials. Both were very well done.
3. Speaking specifically on It's Bad For Ya in 2008, it certainly wasn't George's greatest hour of stand up, but it was FAR from horrendous. The notion that he simply "read" his act off a teleprompter is absurd.
4. Yes, there were lines that George would recycle from time to time such as his opener on Abortion, but by and large, Carlin would completely throw out his entire act and start with completely fresh material. I found this hypocritical as Joe even noted that on previous episodes of his podcast.
This is one of the few times I must give Joe a thumbs down.
Finally, someone who actually knows something about Carlin. I don't know what the fuck this dunce was on about.
I think there's also a bias there. George Carlin is my number one standup and I never got to see him live. I'm 39 years old, been a fan since 90-91; never saw him live. I've known people who have, multiple times, and they'll tell you that while he's fantastic, he does have some off nights where he just gets kinda lazy or reads off of a piece of paper or has huge rants. That said, yea, his last couple of specials were very dark and very good. Every artist as prolific as George will have off nights or even be off for stretches of time. But he's absolutely the best there ever was, and I think by far the most fearless (or brave depending on your view).
I think hes still salty about going to see him when he bombed
Damn.

Naa
We saw Carlin the last time he came to Birmingham to the Alabama Theater before he died, and we watched him literally run people out of his show because some of them came just because they had season tickets & had no idea who he was or what he did. It was fucking hilarious. He was working on new material, and it was an absolute honor to get to see him live like that working from his yellow legal pad.
I was at his HBO special NYC at the Paramount theater 1992. He was just awesome. He got real raw on his encore after the cameras shut down.
George was incredible due to the fact that his mind was blown wide open and the line between right and wrong was permanently blurred. And he was delivering these unbiased, uncolored realizations to an audience that was deeply entrenched in the right/wrong philosophy. So, his rants greatly liberated an audience from their social conditioning and really made people think for themselves again. Once in a while, he came off, a little too raw or did not fully work out the material but a bad night could happen to anyone. He worked hard at his craft. In his younger years, he was cute and funny. But as years went on, he did get a bit grumpy. But, he is by far my favorite and I honor and respect his great, great, great contribution to the advancement of human consciousness. He was a true thinker. To hear him tell his life story is so much fun.
i'm a lyricist so i particularly admire his perception on language. his wordplay and punchlines were clever and his delivery was immaculate, he actually would have been a great battle rapper lol but you can tell he had a reverence for writing and was hyper focused on language which is where a lot of his bits originated from.

Carlin was a comedic genius.
I'm trying to figure out what he "WON" though...
Peace
Me too. I have watched his Religion is the biggest bull shit story still makes me laugh.
Carlin was dropping truth bombs before the concept of any truth movements. He was a genius
Carin’s output from 1990-2008 is the greatest body of work of all time. To imply that he got worse, when he was sharper every time, is not only insane, but disrespectful of your own craft.
Did he stumble a couple times on the final special? Yes. But he was writing at a level that most veteran comics can’t even dream to achieve.
And no, he didn’t have the video destroyed from a special. He didn’t film a special before he was off-book. Those were his own personal reference tapes while he was workshopping and memorizing the material
This was a warning from George....& no-one took him seriously until now! czcams.com/video/HHtKb10M97o/video.html&ab_channel=MikeCallicrate
My coworker who is now retired, did a job for Carlin. Said Carlin was down to earth and asked him about his trade. And was an all around decent person. He was the real deal.
Aaaa Bbbb I think to find someone funny, you have to find them at least somewhat likeable or at least of that impression of them. I could never really laugh at someone’s comedy if i thoroughly find that person repulsive, no matter how good their jokes were and how great their delivery was.
Exactly like the people who hate trump..he says hilarious things all the time but since they were brainwashed by the media no matter what he does or says they see him as repulsive
@Ayethere M8 read the first reply and read mine..
@Ayethere M8 all i said its true what the guy said that when people find some one repulsive they won't like him even if he's actually hilarious
He realer than real deal holyfield
It hurts when they call George Carlin a comedian, he was a prophet who transformed the purpose of comedy
He was our generation's Mark Twain: a singular wit that points out the absurdity of the age.
If You want to tell the people the truth it has to make them laugh or they will kill you
@@LabTech41 excellent analogy
That's how I feel about Bill Hicks.
He certainly got APARTHEID israel right. #BDS
These two had an amazing conversation talking shop not just this clip the entire episode is really good and off the cuff funny stories
Whenever someone says a comedian or somebody's had dark moments in their career I wonder, have you seen the world we're living in?
@wargent99 While those things are true, the oceans are almost out of fish, 200 species of plant of animal go extinct every single day, and climate scientists say the world's setting off on a domino effect of natural disasters: the ice sheets melting, the forests burning, coral bleaching, and soil eroding.
Just because good things are happening doesn't mean the bad things cancel out. We're talking about the *Apocalypse*.
Not to mention the USA, UK, Australia, Russia, China, Brazil, Turkey and more all being run fascists.
@wargent99 Science > Opinions
wargent99 Nah, I completely disagree. You are misinformed or unaware of reality👥. In 2010, 5 billion out of 7 billion people on the planet are poor, 3 billion of them are dirt poor, and that is according to a UN population data. FYI, peace.
@wargent99 most of us have to live surrounded by concrete jungles where the air is suffocating. But you think life is better for human?
wartent69 is not the only one; being blind.
Carlin's rolling so fast in his grave he'd make Eddie Bravo tap.
Veeeeeeeeery underrated comment
XDDDDD
George was the greatest! Probably my most admired person for me. My father was a Milwaukee Police Officer & got walk him out of the Milwaukee County Jail in 72’. I think thats his favorite memory of his 30 year career.
I was at the Hampton beach show in New Hampshire in 88. Great show. He autographed my playbill.. Wish I still had it.
Maybe they say this later in the video..I paused it when they talked about Carlin's death...He did not die in a motel room....He died at St. John's Health Center in Santa Monica....he did the rehab 4 years before he passed, I think he had performed his last show a week or so before passing.
cobfucius thanks for this. I'm glad someone got it right
@@waynedeadder664 Yeah...good thing they can't put anything on the internet that isn't true, right? lol. I have loved and followed Carlin since I first saw him on HBO when I was a kid in the 80s. Even back when I was 10, he made me think about things differently...and just think about things in general. Always makes me mad when people post videos and do absolutely no research, or checking of the facts they think they know. I would rather find out I was wrong about something and correct it BEFORE I make a video spreading ignorance to the world....there are enough people out there talking about things they do not know about...lol.
cobfucius me too. Saw him live twice. Bless him.
His last special was hilarious - I loved it.
I really can not think of any of his specials I didn't love..lol. Still do. Look how many things he said that we have seen play out in front of our eyes. i discovered him early on in life...HBO stand up specials used to be so great. Catlin on Campus was one of the first ones I remember sitting and watching. His books are great, too. I have Brain Droppings and Napalm and Silly Putty. Great stuff. There really will never be anyone like him again.
Old guy here, I saw Carlin in Las Vegas in 1981 when he just released "A place for my stuff". Brilliant ! Just jokes about human nature. And weirdly back then the opening act was dancing Vegas Showgirls with the giant feather costumes...
Ain't nobody interested in your fourth grade arithmetic papers!
“It’s bad for ya” sucked as a comedy piece but was f’in brilliant as social commentary. He was a legend for sure. RIP
Gramma in hell baking pies without an oven not funny?
Anthony with headphones on should play a live action Earthworm Jim
Anthony Jeselnik critiquing George Carlin is like a second string high school quarterback critiquing Terry Bradshaw
Terry Bradshaw is an incredibly random example to use lol. Thought for sure you would've said Brady, Montana, Manning etc.
forman208 Terry Bradshaw is in my eyes the equivalent to George. I view him as the greatest of all time. He probably wouldn’t do “great” in the modern form of football but when he played, football was a lot less about super human speed and strength and more about the fundamentals and actual mind of the game. Just like George. George’s material wasn’t always fall out of your chair funny but was deep and thought provoking. It was an intellectual analysis of the world around him through his eyes. Just like Terry Bradshaw he is the best in my eyes but would not be able to exist in today’s comedy scene. He would speak too much truth and not conform to the soft language that he despised that currently has the world by the throat. Peyton Manning has a better “arm” than Bradshaw. Tom Segura has jokes that are “funnier” than George’s. But that’s not necessarily what defines you as the greatest. That’s not putting down Tom or Peyton, just that the best “arm” or “funniest joke” aren’t all that matters sometimes
Thank you, it was really annoying me how wrong (as usual) they get everything, because they don't have computers around them or anything to look up their stupid assumptions.
That’s what people do now lool.
You nailed it, man :-)
George Carlin one of the greats!!!
In his time he was the greatest. The best mind in the business.
my #1 of all time
Jimmy Dore is the greatest tho.
@@jonnynice8366 ~ never even heard of him.
@@curtismorris4693 He's on CZcams, look him up. I hope you don't like Hillary Clinton...
So crazy. I haven’t seen his last live moments. But he was still good. He got old. But he held down. He left 16 million to his family. Look at his very first stand up
"Make sure it's great"...that is a consuming idea, and righteous advice.
Joe and Anthony are talking about the lengends worst moments but I feel like even the most bland of Carlin's jokes outshine 90% of their material.
And I like Joe and Anthony.
my mind.
💯
It’s all subjective man. From what I’ve seen, Carlin was just a really pessimistic guy and there wasn’t much that was funny about that. Louis CK and Burr have both called Carlin the greatest, and I respect his talent but I never found him funny.
Joe and Anthony are both funnier than me and I can still be like “yeah Carlin would complain too much about menial crap” and it’s still a valid opinion regardless of me not being a comedian.
Too true. Michael Jordan had some shitty shots sometimes
Joe Rogan's 'comedy' has never made me laugh.. love his podcast though..
"Society told you that nice people don't take pleasure in mass death, but they're wrong, because I do and I'm a really nice fucking guy" - Carlin
As a kid watching Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure, I had no idea who George Carlin was but all the adults went nuts seeing him in it
In 1997, after suffering with liver cancer for over a year, George's wife of 36 years died. He has said he took LSD, mescaline, etc. to escape the painful mental & emotional torment. He had a bunch of bad years where he was bitter & resentful and his comedy suffered. It was the worst time to go to one of his concerts. But he's still my favorite, "Seven Dirty Words!"
Compare George’s best material to Joe’s best, Carlin wins by a landslide!
Joe Rogan sucks as a comic. Some him live in 2011!
Mike Holland then why are you here watching his videos?
Frank Feliz I realize you were replying to Mike but the reason I’m hear is because, this is a talk show and Joe is great at interviewing. He’s also a funny guy but as a stand up comedian, he’s not one of the greats!
Frank Feliz because this isn’t stand up comedy. I’ve never seen any of joes comedy work but I watch his interviews & the UFC
Lol compare Carlin’s worst to joe and Anthony’s best times ten and it’s still not even close. Hell, compare Carlin’s best diarrhea to their best specials, their magnum opus’ and Carlin still easily wins
What the heck is this dude talking about? Carlin never did a special where he read half of it. His last special was It's Bad For Ya and it's amazing.
Peoples Hernandez also Louis was saying people like MEETING a celebrity and saying they’re nice but love saying oh they were a dick.
When he was touring before the HBO specials he would bring notes out on stage, because he was perfecting the routine. I seen him early 00's he would reference his notes, not read them.
This guy knows his Carlin. 30 seconds of watching this garbage and you can tell these two dont know shit about Carlin.

What ¡s amazing about Carlin is that he got better and better with age. His last 4 specials were mind blowing. When they reference him on TV they always mention his "7 dirty words" routine, which is not even one-tenth as good as his later stuff. By comparison practically all musicians get stale with age and their latter work pales in comparison with their earlier work. Pure genius this guy.
Really happy jeselnick found success w standup. He seems like a good dude, his comedy is gold.
I love George Carlin, he would expose everything about our society non stop. In his own way he was trying to wake our asses up long before it was popular to be "woke".
It's def still not popular to be "woke." It's popular to say you are.
being "woke" just means you're having a different dream. anybody who is actually awake, doesn't need to declare it.
“Woke” is not awake. In fact, its the opposite.
On June 22, 2008, he died of heart failure at Saint John's Health Center in Santa Monica, California, at the age of 71.
His death occurred one week after his last performance at The Orleans Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.
George Carlin is my spirit animal.
I was working in the Casbah Lounge at the Sahara Hotel around 1977-78 and Jack Eglash, the entertainment guy, had Carlin in the Copa Room, the hotel’s main room. Eglash actually took a big chance booking Carlin because this was when he (Carlin) had shed the tuxedo and was doing mostly college gigs. I actually met Carlin about a year or so after that at a Holiday Inn I was working at and Carlin was staying in, in Buena Park. I think his wife was in a show at the Cerritos Theater at the time. We talked about that gig and how Eglash broke ground with that booking. Eglash also had Anita O’Day in the lounge too. That was a crazy booking…..a semi-burnt out female jazz singer….who would sing sometimes with her back to the audience. I thought that both bookings were great. David Frye and Jackie Vernon were also in the lounge, although not at the same time.
George Carlin's last special was better than anything you'll ever do.
lol no it was shit
It was good, he was just getting old/sick and didn't have the energy he used to. He also aged faster so at 71 he seemed 80, but his mind was sharp as ever.
@@tedthecommenter5364 George Carlin's last special was better than any Kevin Hart stand up I've seen and guess what I like Kevin Hart.
J- Wall I agree 100% with this statement on both George and Kevin Hart.
@@tedthecommenter5364 doesn't know he's dick from he's thumb
Carlins later stuff was his best. His rants are better than most comedians sets.
If u didnt get carlin u will never get it. He was a philosopher and predicted today. He didnt do rough sets u guys just dont understand what he wanted to convey thru some type of dark comedy. Disrespecting him is not cool. He is a legend. Ppl always came back to see him no matter what u guys say. Cheers.
At 18 years old he blew my mind and changed me. I'll always be grateful to him.
I hope you know the “newest” Carlin. Burd is him
"He had a breakdown and was cursing out the crowd and never performed again."
"He was still performing when he died."
"Yeah I believe that."
The mating call of the guy who just says shit.
They don't know shit and it's frustrating to watch. Joe is usually so well informed, but doesnt know much about George Carlin, one of the greatest ever.
I think Anthony was saying that he never performed in a Vegas residency again.
@@Theomite No, he said he never performed again and then deer in the headlights'd it when Joe disputed him and went into agreement mode.
Word Lifer Man your remind me of females who get shit completely wrong because syntax and context
Joes way too high in this podcast, his hardly keeping the conversation relevant to his guest. He’s mostly rambling.
George Carlin was and is still my favorite stuff to listen to.
Kind of like when Phil Hartman choose you for the booth on news radio lol. Just seen that episode again last night 😂
" If voting really meant something they'd never let you do it"
George Carlin philosopher and comedian.
Mark Twain
Carlin was like a crazy uncle that you always thought was full of crap until you got older. Thanks for the cool aid George.
