AFP: Comedian George Carlin dead at 71
Gringo emailed me the bad news last night. Carlin was one of my favorite comedians and he also appeared in three of Kevin Smith's movies. While some people did not enjoy Jersey Girl, his performance in the movie was pretty much universally praised. I am saddened we will not get to see him again on screen or on stage. Kevin has always praised Carlin for his work ethic. Even when he was shotting a film he was still doing his stand up act. The guy was on the road the majority of the year even at the end of his life. Here's to you, George. You will be missed.
totally totally bummed about this.
I first got hooked on him listening to a friend's cassette of one of his routines. We listened to it on the bus on sports trips in early high school. I think the album was "Jammin in New York." He did some great material about religion, too.
