He was a very funny guy, imo...he will be missed.

RIP

James

I'm in total shock right now. I don't even know what to say. God must have been sad and needed a good laugh so he called George's number. I will now forever regret not getting to see his stand up routine. Almost went in Joplin when I was in college but skipped it.

RIP George. There will NEVER be another like you.

DAMN.

James

The forum will have an honorary moment of silence for Mr. Carlin.

RIP to a legend.

Wow. RIP Mr. Carlin. My first memory of him was as Ringo Starr's replacement in the Mr. Conductor role on Shining Time Station. Of course, as I grew up, I found out a lot more about his stand up and truly gained an appreciation for his art. He was one of the true advocates for free speech within the past 50 years and had a wonderfully hilarious perspective on life. I wish I would've got to see his stand up a few years back when he made his way to St. John's.

I'm devastated. I've been dreading this day, he was my favorite comedian. I used to IM James all the time and we'd talk about him. He was just the absolute best ever, and there will never, ever be another like him. He took what Lenny Bruce started and did it better with genuine honesty and originality.

I'm just sad and stunned. In tears. sad

RIP George, I'll miss you, thanks for the education and the laughs.

James

Bruce couldn't hold Carlin's jockstrap.....

Some of Carlin's finest moments were on Bill Maher's show. He obviously didn't do much of his more vulgar humor, but he had such a fresh and funny take on the political world.

I feel the same way. I always thought he would live to 100 and keep on kickin' ass up until that day. His 2008 HBO show was yet another classic in his long, incredible career. As James said, there will never be another like him. This sucks. RIP, George.
