My wife and I saw him live in Vegas at Bally's in the early 90's, lets just say she had never seen him and was shocked, but liked it! I have been a fan for decades, but some of his stuff is hard to take...
The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

I had the pleasure working with him a number times over the years, and had great respect for his intellect and professionalism, and still do. However two? nights ago I saw him on a rerun of his standup on Johnny Carson from decades back, and likely maybe one of his first Carson appearances, not sure. I was shocked at how lame his performance was, it was almost depressing, although you could see glimmers of his future excellence and wit. If you are a Carlin fan, I suggest, don't watch it if given the chance. edit I found the video, its 1981, so far from his first Carson appearance, view at your own discretion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jus-OaJV8E

Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

I was never a big fan of his, but one he did that was funnier than hell was a routine about "did you ever try to throw away a garbage can?" How true. Wish I could find a clip of that one.

Good lord, can you just imagine what he'd have to say about our current mess? Pretty much that he called it, decades ago... almost to the tee. The man was brilliant. I'm [censored] livid that my parents didn't let me watch him as a kid. They thought it was just vulgar comedy, but the man was a free thinker, and had razor sharp critical thinking skills. He was brilliant. I might have woken my dumb ass up decades earlier...

I've had to throw away a garbage can 3 times in the past year, and every time, his routine has been spot on. I also work with a guy named Todd, and that routine is also on point.

Good lord, can you just imagine what he'd have to say about our current mess? He's got a whole routine on germs and Immune System : THE MAN Big fan of Carlin. I saw him live while in college on the last day of his tour, man was he pissed off ! He even ranted about the security ! Miss him.
