The legendary comedian, George Carlin would’ve turned 78 years old today.  George Denis Patrick Carlin was born May 12, 1937 in New York City.  I love the late Bill Hicks.  I think Bill Maher is pretty good.  Louis CK is great.  Brian Regan is just plain goofy.  But for my money, George Carlin is the best stand-up comedian of all-time.

I highly recommend adding these 3 books to your collection… Carlin’s comedy hysterically translates to the written word:

  • Brain Droppings (1997)
  • Napalm and Silly Putty (2001)
  • When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops? (2004)

Carlin has countless classic bits ranging from politics, the English language, religion, and more.  I loved the stuff from late in his life.  There was no holding back.  He was relentlessly calling out all the bullsh*t that he saw.  This video below, recorded in 2005, is one of my all-time favorites.  George Carlin died June 22, 2008 at 71.
