artyjeffrey 20 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/b143767_ge...=rss_topstoriesMy wife and I saw him perform two years ago. We had really close seats, and when he came out, we were astonished at how he weak he appeared. I can't say I'm surprised, but it's a hell of a loss. RIP to the greatest comedian of the 20th century.

Olivier 5 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 We have really never heard of him in France, so I only know quotations posted on message boards and blogs, and judging from these, George Carlin seemed to be pretty witty, sarcastic, and very funny indeed.

Ollie 1,106 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 When I woke up this morning the local ESPN radio station was talking about Eddie Murphy so I thought he had died.Turned out they were comparing all the comedians with George Carlin.A sad loss, a very funny and witty person. He will be missed, R.I.P. Mr. Carlin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I fondly remember my first exposure to him before I had any idea who he was, as Mr. Conductor on Shining Time Station (haven taken over the role from Ringo Starr). RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock 11 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I've been watching his stuff ever since I've heard. Damn. First place I saw him was as Rufus in Bill & Tedd, loved him ever since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruckhorn 109 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I first heard Carlin when I was about 12 and I've been quoting him ever since. Most of the time when somebody asks me how I'm doing, I reply "Moderately neato." And, on more than one occasion, when I have been at the airport, I have corrected people by telling them that I would be getting in the plane, not on it. I've always loved the way he played with language. He's the only comic I have seen twice. The first time ("Back in Town" routine) I laughed so hard, it hurt for a couple of days. The second time was back in February. I was glad that he had eschewed the nihilistic tone of his previous routine and had spent most of the time discussing "goofy stuff".George, I hope Joe Pesci has a special place set aside for you.

Vaderbait1 1 Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I think of that rule that celebrities alwasy die in 3s, but this year is ridiculous. It's more like 20 of them have died in a short time span. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
