Shit, if I live to be 71, fucking A. Like some else replied, he is the only celebrity I was saddened to hear was dead. I remember the first time seeing his stand-up, which was after years of watching him on Shining Times Station. I was all wtf? Favorite line....hmmmm...

He's all powerful, but he can't handle money!"

[SIZE=7]Dying Is Hard. Comedy Is Harder.[/SIZE]

By JERRY SEINFELD

THE honest truth is, for a comedian, even death is just a premise to make jokes about. I know this because I was on the phone with George Carlin nine days ago and we were making some death jokes. We were talking about Tim Russert and Bo Diddley and George said: “I feel safe for a while. There will probably be a break before they come after the next one. I always like to fly on an airline right after they’ve had a crash. It improves your odds.”

I called him to compliment him on his most recent special on HBO. Seventy years old and he cranks out another hour of great new stuff. He was in a hotel room in Las Vegas getting ready for his show. He was a monster.

You could certainly say that George downright invented modern American stand-up comedy in many ways. Every comedian does a little George. I couldn’t even count the number of times I’ve been standing around with some comedians and someone talks about some idea for a joke and another comedian would say, “Carlin does it.” I’ve heard it my whole career: “Carlin does it,” “Carlin already did it,” “Carlin did it eight years ago.”

And he didn’t just “do” it. He worked over an idea like a diamond cutter with facets and angles and refractions of light. He made you sorry you ever thought you wanted to be a comedian. He was like a train hobo with a chicken bone. When he was done there was nothing left for anybody.

But his brilliance fathered dozens of great comedians. I personally never cared about “Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television,” or “FM & AM.” To me, everything he did just had this gleaming wonderful precision and originality.

I became obsessed with him in the ’60s. As a kid it seemed like the whole world was funny because of George Carlin. His performing voice, even laced with profanity, always sounded as if he were trying to amuse a child. It was like the naughtiest, most fun grown-up you ever met was reading you a bedtime story.

I know George didn’t believe in heaven or hell. Like death, they were just more comedy premises. And it just makes me even sadder to think that when I reach my own end, whatever tumbling cataclysmic vortex of existence I’m spinning through, in that moment I will still have to think, “Carlin already did it.”[/QUOTE]

Maybe I'll be back here too

Larry King did a show last night for Carlin and it was really good to watch.  Normaly I wouldn't care when a celebrity died unless I could make good jokes from it, but I was really curious how this would be treated.  I know he wasn't religious and to give him any type of religious memorial wouldn't be right.  Around here, no matter your personal beliefs, it's almost gauranteed a christian burial.  I was really impressed with the way it was done and feel like it was a rare oppurtunity for me to see someone that was non-religious given the respect they deserved in their passing.

RIP

He'll be in the film.
