Remembering George Carlin
I know you guys were as sad as I was to hear that George Carlin passed away last weekend. NBC is honoring him by rebroadcasting its 1975 debut - George Carlin was the host.
Legendary producer Lorne Michaels had this to say: "You never forget the people who were there at the beginning. George Carlin helped give 'Saturday Night Live' its start as our first host. He was gracious, fearless, and most important of all, funny."
HBO is also paying tribute to Carlin by airing some of his comedy specials tonight and tomorrow night. I especially like "Playing with Your Head," but you'll have to stay up awfully late if you want to watch it. It's worth it, though, I promise. Here's the complete schedule:
Tonight:
8:00 p.m. George Carlin at USC (1977)
9:30 p.m. George Carlin Again! (1978)
11:00 p.m. Carlin at Carnegie (1983)
midnight Carlin on Campus (1984)
1:00 a.m. Playin’ with Your Head (1986)
Tomorrow:
8:00 p.m. What Am I Doing in New Jersey? (1988)
9:00 p.m. Doin’ It Again (1990)
10:00 p.m. Jammin’ in New York (1992)
11:00 p.m. Back in Town (1996)
12:05 a.m. You Are All Diseased (1999)
1:00 a.m. It’s Bad for Ya (2008)
