Carlin’s Encore
It is always sad when someone dies. However, the load is always lighter when the deceased happened to be a comedian. Instead of slow moving video montages, state funerals, or memorial golf tournaments, we get stand up! Comedians have always laughed in the face of tragedy, and thankfully, we now get to remember George Carlin through constant airings of his performances, movie roles, and general profane language. Carlin videos and remembrances have have been seen everywhere in the last couple of days from the Daily Show to Larry King Live, and the fun is just getting started.
Starting today, June 25 and tomorrow, June 26, HBO will be airing Carlin specials starting at 8pm and running through the night until 1am. Then on Saturday, SNL will air the its first ever episode, which features Carlin as the special guest. And be sure to be on the lookout for airings of Carlin’s film roles such as “Dogma”, “Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back”, “Cars”, “Jersey Girl”, and The “Bill and Ted” series amongst others.
Also, if you are interested in how the fellow comics have reacted to Carlin’s passing, be sure to check out what
Jerry Seinfeld had to say in the NYT, what Kevin Smith wrote in Newsweek,
or what a host of other comedians thought over at The USA Today
