Carlin Tributes From HBO, NBC…

  • For those of you with HBO at home, be sure to tune in tonight, as they’re continuing their 2 night marathon of George Carlin HBO specials on their HBO2 channel. 11 of his famous stand-up specials will air. On Friday night, HBO will show George’s final HBO special. You can’t miss with a Carlin special, and his were always major events when they premiered on the channel. Tune in for some of the best comedy ever recorded. If you’re on the east coast and reading this late, you’ll likely still find it on the west coast feed where available. We’ll keep our eye on HBO for future Carlin airings, as we don’t think this will be the last we see of these specials — Perhaps they’ll add them to the “On Demand” library for a while, as well.


    On Saturday night, NBC will offer up their own tribute to the man, airing the classic first ever episode of Saturday Night Live — Yes, Geroge Carlin was the host. SNL normally does not run entire episodes from the archives like this on NBC, so it’s a rare treat and absolutely worth tuning in or setting the DVRs for. The premiere is a fun watch, whether you’ve seen it before or not.


    Aint It Cool News has a few more details.

    As a major tribute to him, the FCC should allow SHIT, PISS, FUCK, CUNT, COCKSUCKER, MOTHERFUCKER, and TITS to be aired to television.
