Yes, it's recent. It happened literally a few days ago.

I find as he ages, his diatribes and rants fit the way he looks a lot better. He seems more like a lovable crazy grandpa that flings applesauce at 2nd cousins during family gatherings then claims senility.

This is from Saturday, March 1, 2008. & No, he hasn't gained any weight. He's on heart medication (7 or so heart attacks'll require that) which causes a "moon-face" (retaining water). And thank goodness the man is still with us. He is an amazing voice of reason in these days of turmoil. Upvote for the greatest living philosopher of our age!

Brilliant! He does seem to be mellowing in his old age, or maybe the rants just do suit him better.

This is great. I'm glad he hasn't exactly mellowed with age.

The rants just seem to fit him better? Come on guys, he stopped doing the Hippy Dippy weather man 30 years ago.

the most common medication associated with a moon face is cortisol, a steroid, which carlin would have really no reason to take for a heart problem. it is the result of fat redistribution, not water retention. he is most likely on blood thinners or diuretics to prevent clots and decrease the load on the heart (which would actually serve to increase water loss), neither of which should cause weight gain. i'm gonna go with "he's getting old" and his metabolism is slowing, or the embed video is distorted

Love this guy! It makes me sad to see him in this shape though. Hopefully he'll keep going for many years, but his appearance is not encouraging.

He's still mentally sharp at (almost) 71... and for his profession that's the most important... Man, just looked at his wikipedia entry and I've never seen him as a young man, bizarre.

By the way. His website is awesome. Very well put together. Lots of information for any curious minds.

It really pisses me off that I moved all the way to New York and now he lives in LA!

I agree seeing a comic great who was born an old man become an actual old man is depressing. Though his speed is off and his wit isnt as sharp he's still good

You wouldn't know funny if it banned you from the sift for downvoting videos.

There's a few good moments in this one, but on the whole isn't nearly as good as the last few shows he's done for HBO.

The "your kids aren't special" routine seems like almost a direct ripoff from Bill Hicks, which is quite surprising.

Gets my upvote anyway!

The argument about the contradictions in hat traditions seems pretty smart.

Do traditionalists have any counter argument other than "it says so in our holy texts, so fuck off"?
