George Carlin - Inside the Actor's Studio

As many of you have already heard, the tragic news... George Carlin, the "dean of counterculture comedians" whose biting insights on life and language were immortalized in his "Seven Words You Can Never Say On TV" routine, died of heart failure Sunday the 22nd of June, 2008. He was 71. Carlin went into a Santa Monica hospital Sunday afternoon complaining of chest pain and died later that evening, said his publicist, Jeff Abraham. Carlin, who had a history of heart trouble, performed as recently as last weekend at the Orleans Casino and Hotel in Las Vegas. It was announced Tuesday that Carlin was being awarded the 11th annual Mark Twain Prize for American Humor.
This is a 2004 interview that James Lipton had with George Carlin in front of a crowd, where Carlin recounts his entire life, from his turbulent childhood onwards... Truly an appropriate upload for today, RIP George... we loved you and your material, and you'll be deeply missed by us all.
