Remembering George Carlin
The face of comedy was never the same after the 1972 release of Class Clown by one George Carlin. Prior to releasing his "Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television" Class Clown album Carlin had been noted for his frequent guest spots and stints as host of The Tonight Show. At the time Clown was released Carlin had started to appear in his trademark pony-tail, clean-cut appearance. This look was aptly parodied by Krusty The Klown in the 9th Season Simpson's Episode "The Last Temptation of Krusty" (S9E15).
Carlin went on to do countless HBO specials for the next 30 years. HBO just announced that HB02 would be running all of his specials over the next few days.
