George Carlin was much more than a mere stand-up comedian, actor, author and social critic. Truly great comedians like George are more like great philosophers whose words have the ability to shape and influence public thought.
Great comedy — at its best — pushes our buttons and challenges our perceptions and ways of thinking. No person is a better example of this than George Carlin, a savage satirist and brilliant thinker who was just as much of a writer and a philosopher as he was a comedian. His medium was stand-up, but he touched on issues of race, class, politics and American life — saying the kinds of things no one else dared.
He won 5 Grammy Awards for his work, had 14 HBO Specials beginning in 1977, was a frequent guest on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, and was the first host of Saturday Night Live. In 2008, he was posthumously awarded the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor.
Carlin got famous for his bit about the "words you can't say on television," but his legacy speaks of so much more, wisdom and wit that deserve to live on through the ages.hence the purpose of this book.
