George Carlin was a comedy legend and will sorely be missed.
XM Comedy 150 is my #1 preset on my radio. I will definately be listening on Wednesday.
Sorry O&A, Carlin is going to win out Wednesday morning and for the rest of the day. Timeless. Can't miss a tribute like this.
Tonights forecast....
Dark
continued dark untill morning where it will become partly light
George Carlin's "hippy Dippy weather man"
One of my all time favorite skits.
One thing is for certain- this type of programming will never be found on dead-air terrestrial radio- "HD" or otherwise......
The country lost a legend this past weekend.
He was the best of the best stand-up from the '70's and '80's, only losing some of his luster when he became "preachy and political" in the '90's.
George Carlin R.I.P.
Can't wait to hear some of this show (it'll be tough at work :P).
I say we petition XM to rename XM Comedy to Carlin's Place.
What I find kind of creepy is that during the 'Unmasked' Carlin was asked by Ron: "what do you want written on your tombstone?" Carlin's response: "He was just here"... suddenly that cringe moment seems so poignant.
R.I.P. George Carlin!
comedy offically sucks now
my son was a guest star on the george carlin series. in all the years he acted, and all the people who were stars, that we met, we both agreed he was the nicest human being in the industry. very caring about others he worked with and a real natural that never let fame go to his head. rest in peace george, heaven just gained a fabulous resident!
R1, Ron didn't do that first episode of Unmasked. That hack Sonny Fox did it.
What are the seven words ,please somebody tell me,I must know....
cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker and four others but you get the drift
shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker, and tits.
didn't howard invent the eight words you can't say on radio back in '71.
i remember on his show on nbc rawbin said during the news that some guy said there were 7 dirty words you can't say on t.v. and howard claimed in eighth grade he told a guy there were 8 words you can't say on radio.then he said tell 'em fredand robin said ooooooooh howard and jackie said i remember that and gary said your right boss you invented that and fred said nothing.viva la revolution
ron and fez noon to three
Interesting fact: XM COMEDY played George Carlin's "7 Words" bit when the channel first signed on. Mark Parenteau was the PD of XM 150 and did a wonderful job launching and hosting this innovative channel.
Shit, I hate I missed these airings. Does anyone know if XM will encore these broadcasts?
