I just read some devastating news this morning while reading my dailies, and I saw that George Carlin passed away due to heart failure. He went to St. John’s Health Center Sunday afternoon and passed away later that day. I’m just devastated! I just remember he was such an influence in comedy, and a great actor too! I loved him in any of the Kevin Smith movies, especially Dogma. It was just wrong! But Totally George Carlin.
I remember one of my favourite routines was when he asked how do you ship “stuff”. I was just rolling on the floor when he talked about any of that. He was pretty raunchy, but that’s ok, he was still pretty damn funny.
George Carlin will truly be missed.

He will definitely be missed.
My favorite routine of his was one I saw him do on The Tonight Show – The Hippy Dippy Weather Man. Great bit.
OMG. Really?! That is so sad!!! :(
I posted about him this morning too. Very sad to hear.
He will be missed that much is certain. His influence on comedy for the past 50 years was massive. My favorite of is was the List of Things You Can't Say on Television.
his routine about golf courses was so true!
one of my favorite carlin quotes, "I think it's the duty of the comedian to find out where the line is drawn and cross it deliberately."
Yeah I saw this too. It really is sad. His political incorrectness is one of the things I always admired.
Definitely sad. He was hella funny.
Sorry I've been absent lately.. too self involved, I suppose. ;) It happens.
this is devastating indeed … poor guy
