George Carlin on Letterman, Part 2 of 2: 1994-2001 

well....there you have it .......

@@tadkingsbury79 Yes.

@@tadkingsbury79 Yes.

It is quite remarkable that you have access to this peculiar kind of life RU-vid channel to make a statement that is quite profound. Do you have anything to back that up?.

Christmas dinner, eh? Quite the invite, I must say. Did you save his life w CPR before that?

I would love to hear his opinion on today's society

I think you'll find that Chris D'Elia is the true GOAT.

@@DudeMan-xs3db I don’t think that I will. He’s great, but nah.

Have to give it to Pryor but close is Carlin.

Indeed he is the GOAT. Well said, there are some really good comedians today. However Carlin was next level more of a philosopher with a great sense of humor.

A Comedian

I couldn't have said/written it better.

or most peps dont want to listen, cant learn if we dont listen to each other. :0)

I completely agree what he said then is still applied to what goes on Today

😂🎉​@@ChristopherONeal-er1cpin no no no no no no no no no 4:45 4:45 4:45

Him and Robin Williams, the former the greatest writer, the latter the greatest improv comic ever

Yes. You never hear anyone say about his comedy "Oh I've heard that before." We know George's comedy by heart (like Jimmy Buffett 's songs) but we can listen to him tell his jokes over and over and still laugh and enjoy ourselves immensely.

Saw GC in front of small audience about 20 years back shilling his book. My husband got his autograph on one of his album covers. Laugh line that sticks with me is "the main difference between dogs and cats: dogs have eyebrows-- cats don't"! How true !

Quick wit, very funny and super intelligent

The only comedian i wished i got to see...

@@OkJustAMinute same. He was an influence to everybody. Wordsmith, yes. He was a great writer.

was? even dead he is still the best

I saw Him as well. Carlin On Campus tour. He was Fantastic.

You lucky bastard

You are right 👍

I would have shown him The Great Reset Alex Jones and both are Right 😂.

I've always considered him the Grand Wizard* of standup

@@keny53 I think the greatest of all time especially how as the older he became, the ability to just churn out hours of new material. Wish he was alive to comment on today’s cancel culture.

We were lucky to have him.

Funny thing is, it's just totally true, especially looking back from today's perspective. He sees things differently, and hopefully it's spreading!

Pryor too.

Love it. And George Carlin...

The only thing he got wrong was God

George would help us make sense of the present day.

We have his wisdom..study all you can about him..lets pick up were he left off...and repeat his wisdom..we can make a change! Good way too challenge this insanity..in this country! Put a foot in the ass of the socialist!!!!!!!!

He laid it out. Listen. Give up. Too many people on this earth.

Greatest comedian ever,My brother in law had all his LPs.Never got tired of listening to him.He never holds back.I wish he was still here,shine what he would have to say about 2022.

stoned.

Funny he died 24 years ago I miss him

A little Biff. Lost his train of thought for a second. Then he seemed upset that we wouldn't be able to use that take...

He made a mistake during his bit on “time” in 1977.

George Carlin, the prophetic truth teller, so inspired and liberating! Always, ❤❤❤❤❤

Truth.

I love how he was making a mockery of the show because the show is/was such a joke. The formula and the breaks for commercial ads. The money train of the whole braindead thing.

Hey! Me too!! Just started listening to David Allen Coe. Kind of the Zappa of country. A little on the racist side but has the aroma of these greats who did it their way.

!!!! Well said

Until I saw this, I never thought of football and baseball in this way, I like his explanation.

he was truly a modern diogenes. i wish i got to have a cigarette and a glass of whiskey with the guy before he passed. just a 5 minute talk.

Norm was one.

I think Ricki Gervais and Bill Burr come close

If only he was funny

@@kweaver2459 you must be a liberal..it shows as you cannot understand facts or humor!

If you pay close attention, he was telling us about the last few years. One example, his football baseball skit, safe at home.

@@katevanhouten8440 I think safe at home could be said for every decade

Oh boy Kim !! He would be totally , both shocked and furious about all of the lunatics in charge of the asylum ( a.k.a. govt.) and the gender fluid, pronoun usage forced on "We the People" and if you do not fold or comply, or even just speak as you always have , saying Mr., Mrs., him, her, girl or boy you face actual criminal charges. Non-binary, woke and more and more crap. This is pseudo science. It is dangerous and the agenda is to divide us citizens and remove anything they deem a threat to their agenda, and there we have the white hate and Alpha male hate, because we WILL pick up our "tools" and accessories and fight it all. That rainbow flag does nothing but say, "you are not welcome or wanted". And they claim to be all love and acceptance. We are called Nazi fascists, yet we fought a war for four years and died by the thousands daily against real Nazi`s who would murder every one of those people. They have freedom to act this way because men paid the price in blood in combat to have these rights. Who is the real fascists? I am sorry, but your comment was simple and yet it was brilliant in thought. What would George say?? A whole lot is my feeling. Take care and I wish you well, again I am sorry I got a bit heated.

He'd just say it's a Hell of wreck walk away from it 😅

He’s absolutely glad he’s not here to see this. He knew what was coming and knew it wasn’t going to pretty and he straight out told everyone. The system can’t continue to be run this way. Capitalism is for the rich only but we’re told it’s the best system. Who tells us that ? Maybe billionaires huh?

LBGQ or whatever or whoever they are would have been classifying George as Public Enemy Number 1! (Not the rap/hip-hop group!)

@@seahawks5725 reading comprehension 0

That line cracked me up and I don't even know what it means. LOL

@@MeloettaMarmalade Stop describing yourself. He's 100% right.

@@seahawks5725 I would hope that wouldn't be the case. George was a very tolerant and supportive person. He only really targeted authoritarianism, ridiculous trends, and stupidity. And, was funny af, doing it!

Unfortunately comedy is almost cancelled 😞

I would love to hear his thoughts on trump ! RIP GEORGE TRUE AMERICAN 🇺🇸

@@stevemenold6095He would have ripped apart Trump and Biden equally.

I miss him too 😢 It's garbage now. 🗑 I miss that generation 😪

I don't always agree with everything he said, but even then, it made sense, backed by rock solid logic

1996 was his best album.

@@juanmonge7418 My favorite is “Life is worth Losing.”

It’s all bull shit folks and it’s bad for you..

Yea George was my hero and then I learned some words -seven of them- that almost got me expelled. I also grew up with comedy albums in the 70’s and before with Tom Lehrer. There used to be comedy albums that would take bits of popular songs of the day and make them funny. Breakfast with the baloneys was also a favorite (and seriously dating myself. Lol) Rip George. You have to wonder if he’s seriously pissed off God by now. ;-)

Never saw George live but he was so good. Saw his transformation from the Burns and Carlin era to his stand up suit comedian then onto the college circuit and then HBO. Pure genius. Saw Cheech and Chong in the very early days when they played in Vancouver in a topless revue they called Vancouver City Works. It was held in a topless bar that was trying to appeal to the raincoat bunch and the dopers. The bar was owned by Tommy Chong’s dad who had a reputation that may have been deserved or not. They were developing the doper skits that the became famous for and I think was recorded in an album called Big Bamboo. They deserved to succeed as hey stuck with it. I remember there might have been a crowd of less than ten in the audience. Ah those were the days

WINDOW BOX

@@matthewotremba9230 is it a window in a box or a box with a little miniature window in it?

Wedding album ...occupation foole and class clown

You’ve obviously never seen Billy Connolly!

I saw him live at painters Mill music Fair in Baltimore in the '70s twice he was absolutely fantastic I had all his comedy albums I now have always books and yes I do miss him very much he was the only best, ever never funny or very intelligent man. Funniest person alive he could he could find a joke he wrote about everything and made it all funny whether it's good or bad love him very much miss him too

I loved all that about him too.

Totally agree. In high school I used to find myself using his ideas because they were just so insightful. I wore "Class Clown" and "Occupation Foole" out in vynil and fake quoted them in book reports and stuff. I borrowed from him the fake quotation. I got several "A"s by referring to the British Colinial Shipping Board (which did not exist and so I could quote saying anything). Other times I followed his example of selecting to my own criteria. What's a teacher with 30 of these things to grade in one night gonna do, research? 😇 Confidence, baby. 😁

*to

He was socratic

Sounds like he got rid of his wife 😂

But not funny
