I miss George Carlin. We could really use him today! His HBO specials were the best.
That’s because hbo specials were the only thing he did for the last twenty five years of his career. They had to be good.
Look at the bright side, brighton, at least there are Netflix specials like Chappelle's Sticks and Stones.
What would he do for you if he was alive?
@@zerocool1344 crimes
I say that nearly every day.
Pointing out the absurdity of American life, his critical thinking skills, clever wordplay, and hilarious character voices...Carlin is soooo good.
The faces he pulls as well. 😂
I don’t know how it happened, but two Carlin records ended up in my family’s record collection. I was 11 years old in the 80’s soaking in every joke from “FM/AM” and “On the Road.”
Needless to say, it had a profound and lasting impact in me. This footage here is a real gift!
Class Clown did it for me.
I had toledo window box
I'm only missing two of his albums, "Carlin On Campus" and "What Am I Doing In New Jersey?"
True legend, A man who lived and used his time alive morally enough to understand reality, while all the sheople were busy being dumb slaves, knowing nothing about anything in life.. RIP sad when great minds die
What a captivating performance, this is a sublime example of a master-craftsman crafting for a target audience. not merely a reuse of material but a honest demo of his content while miming the borders of its contextual box. 10/10
God how much i miss this man.... You can tell how much he had to restrain himself for TV thou. This man's humor is timeless. Doesn't matter if 15, 20, 30, 48 years later… you can somehow always connect to his humor and it always feels fresh and relevant.
Even more relevant today!!!
So far ahead of his time.
Pure vintage Carlin..Genius
This man was a genius at his craft!
We miss ya Georgie boy 💎
George Carlin and Richard Pryor....The 2 most insightful and legendary comics I will ever have had the pleasure to have followed throughout their careers...RIP to both of them. The tears of laughter I have spilled watching these two giants could fill a swimming pool...If there was a Mt Rushmore for comedians, you know George and Richard would be front and center...
Man, this was SO CUTTING EDGE at the time. Drugs were relevant and topical but VERY BAAAAD. So George served the whole thing to Middle America, and had them eating out of his hand, AND LAUGHING, instantly. Genius. Then he captivated the world for almost 40 more years. Epic visionary, philosopher, observer, and, oh yeah, comedian. George will be studied and missed for generations to come.
This was about the time I discovered George Carlin. Been a fan ever since. He is missed.
He's looking lean and he's sounding clean he is. Clean in this clip anyway.
This was a nationally televised show. He had to be.
@@lynnturman8157 SNL was nationally televised too and he admitted he was high out of his mind when he hosted.
@@HOTD108_ The point is that I was replying to someone else, not you.
if you look at the interview they did after it wasn't soo "clean" they talked about drugs and alike freely, they just did it in a old fashion civil way.
Dude, he’s more high in this clip than I’ve ever seen. Farthest thing from clean possible.
I still have that album! It is definitely a classic!
6:32 he looks genuinely ANXIOUS. It's crazy to imagine that the great Carlin could ever be intimidated by a crowd, but watch him wipe his sweaty palms on his pants and ruffle up his hair before shaking the hosts hand.
...and the awkwardness the moment he sits
Well, he did do drugs in his earlier years. I wouldn't be surprised if he was using cocaine at the time.
Situational nervousness. I'm glad you pointed it out because I was thinking the same thing.
70’s George I haven’t seen!! Awesome!!
It's incredible to think that this is 50 years old
Two of my favorite guys. ❤
George is the best father figure a human could have
woulda been better than mine!
I believe this man to be the best comedian ever. A very close second is Richard Pryor. If I am down, I watch his videos on link and laugh until my face hurts
When I was a kid and he came on Carson, I would challenge myself by standing in front of the TV and trying to make it through his entire routine without falling to the floor laughing.
What's really incredible is the show (Mike Douglas?) when he debuted his famous edgy persona. Also on the program that day was Henny "Take my wife, please!" Youngman, the very personification of the old-fashioned square, schtick comedian. Carlin came out swinging, blasting this completely unprepared audience full force with his out-there countercultural mind-grenades -- you could literally feel their brains melting!
When George finished his routine, there was the briefest moment of dazed silence as the crowd attempted to recover control of their faculties, during which you could hear Henny, in a low whisper, calling out "Psst! Kid! I'll try to distract them for as long as I can. You just *run for the door!!!"*
Isn't it kind of funny that we're watching a 40 year old's show clips on their official youtube channel?
No problem with that.
No, it's EXACTLY the way I imagined the world would be already in the 70's. Put in everything from the very first photograph.
Not really, archiving isn't a new concept
@@codyt821 But imagination is I guess.
MOAR
RIP Philosopher George Carlin.
I always get a good vibe from George Carlin.
Still watching him! I'm so glad I got to see him live twice. He is still telling us the truth!
Man imagine if George was still alive xD
Imagine how people would freak out over his comedy bits 😂
I remember NoDoze a caffeine stimulate that was bought over the counter.
Fluffy Bunny still exists! They have a few variations on the theme too - like NoDoze plus with extra vitamin B .. in case whichever store you’re in is inexplicably out of energy drinks
It's still there.
I used to eat like 4 or 5 at a time and get fucking wired! Oh the memories.
absolutely brilliant .
Imagine a kid, growing up in “Irish Harlem” in upper Manhattan, going to a Catholic school right down the street, and growing his hair out like than and becoming a “hippie” in the 60’s and especially the 70s. It didn’t take long for Americans to figure out how backwards the world was becoming- we lost George Carlin too soon, and we should have listened to what he (and Lenny Bruce, John Belushi, Richard Pryor and Bill Hicks, among others) was saying, long before we finally did.
This guy was a gift. So real. No one is real anymore
That is true. Always the cheap laughs and the "laughing with yourself" kinda thing
Will Franken
Legendary
You were the best.R.I.P. George.
What he is tapping inti here is funny but also shocking because to this day, many people watching him are high on coffee, nicotine and alchohol. Mean lots of them think they are not drug addicts. Which is human or part of it really. He was able to point out the hypocrisy and they laughed... amazing.
Man this was fantastic
George Carlin and Dick are very very clever men.
This was good but he got funnier the older he got
Even funnier, gaz riley.
@@coreycox2345 yeah thats what i meant
@@gazriley624 I thought so.
I thought the opposite. I find he became more bitter as he aged. It was less about silly nuances and more about religion and politics.
@@TaoistSwordsman He was very good at it.
Truly and genuinely one of the most underrated comics of all time.
Always makes me laugh 24/7 because he’s right 99% of the time! 1% of the time he will always be disputed. Love him!
How is George Carlin underrated? He's considered to be one of the best of all time
@@dwaybruss No shit, that comment threw me too!
@shred of sanity Yep, if only his band got radio play...
Wayne Russell because I feel like people-(what gen are we up to? Z?) don’t even know the 7 dirty words from a hole in a ground.
@@poolside123canadian7 They also think Communism is a neat idea and the world is going to end in 12 years due to climate change. Don't worry about what little kids do and don't know.
George was our Diogenes.
Seen him do this live in 1972. His stuff is timeless.

What a brilliant man.
AM & FM was the first comedy album I ever bought. Wore out the grooves.
Coked up Carlin! Shoulda been the title of one of his specials.
THE LEGEND
I like his clean stuff better than his later stuff. In my opinion, once he released the album “Seven words you can’t say on TV” he became less observant of people and more mean & nasty about people. He was a brilliant guy, it’s a shame he used his brilliance to hurt others.
pretty much the same as today, only now we have Starbucks everywhere for that coffee fix ☕️
Funny as always with a little MESSAGE!!!
He's got that manic vegetarian/vegan look.
I like it.
and his words ring so true!
Every guy back in the 70s looked like that basically
Dangerous hippie playing with the suits back in the day. Love it. People were really square then.
You can see the difference between early and middle period George mainly in his pacing. This is so loose and feels almost freestyle. But once he started to tour constantly to keep one step ahead of the IRS, you saw that sharpening of his style and his wit and he was never nervous in front of a crowd like this anymore.
When I saw him live (twice) he was an absolute master of his craft, so different from this guy, lol.
GENIUS: GEORGE CARLIN
he was an original !!
Lol he looked like a skinny hippie. Oh and yea way ahead of everyone
A true comedic genius. Is his interview with Cavett available?
Yep! From this visit, another visit in `92, & I have no idea if there is more...
Truth.
That's why I'm still alive wow amazing right
Pretty much one of the funniest men who ever lived
There will never...NEVER be another George Carlin...EVER. Last of the Mohicans.
George looked cool back in the day!
Ah, peak Carlin. He was really in his prime during this era.
i think he peaked much later... nihilistic elderly carlin was supreme.
@@beniteztheconman No. At that point he stopped being a...you know...comedian...and just became an angry old social critic that edgy types loved because he reaffirmed their established worldview.
Not to say I ever particularly disagreed with any of the things he said in those days. But they just weren't JOKES. They weren't bits. At those shows, he rarely, if ever, got any actual laughs. He almost entirely got cheers and applause. The kind of audience reactions that say "that's what I think and believe, woooooo I have a similar worldview!" Again, nothing wrong with that necessarily. Spoken word stuff has a place in the entertainment world, but it's not the same as doing actual...y'know, COMEDY! And he also really ran out of steam in his later years, just got lazy. In fact, that's probably a major cause of that stark stylistic change too. He had a bunch of shit that was pissing him off, but he couldn't be arsed to write jokes about the subjects, so he just cut out the middle man and just ranted about them straight-up. Eventually it got to the point where he was up on stage literally READING his entire act off a yellow notepad. Just going through the motions. Had a residency in Vegas when he died, and in comedy, Vegas residencies are what old, semi-washed up comedians who still can sell out big crowds thanks to the name recognition from back when they were superstars (Carrot Top, Louie Anderson, etc) do to keep their cash-flow intact.
@@dildonius Agreed.
I’d say the mid to late 80’s were his peak. And then in the early 90’s until his death he became a whole new person with an entire new standup format.
dildonius Sounds like you disagreed with his politics. He was hilarious until the end
FAN-tastic!

Completely changed his act between 67 and 72.
I really wish I could time travel to then for a day
If I'm not mistaken, Lennon was also a guest on this particular Cavett show with Carlin.
Yeah, Forrest Gump as well
Lol
1:38 damn he looked like jim Carry
his coffee freak imitation seems close enough to southpark's 'tweek' character
Then there's people like me who don't need any kind of stimulate to buzz and speed, I was just born that way and I'm considered sick.
nobody asked you anything tho
fugooglestupid I hope you learn to like yourself....and one day you will no longer think of yourself as a nobody...
We all have things that make us different. Don't think of it as a bad thing. It can be your super power!
Imagine the shit he'd come up with identity politics the way it is now, outrage culture, me too movement, cancel culture. He is sorely missed.
You have critically misunderstood George Carlin
his criticisms would generally have him on the left so he would prolly do it from that place
He would call out cancel culture and trump at the same time. Carlin hated neoliberal fascists like reagan and Clinton way more than even cancel culture
George carlin ironically, IS A GOD
Interlaced spectra/ula+?
I thought this was Fred Armisen doing a bit from the thumbnail pic.
God damn he's skinny.
Cocaine is a hell of a drug.
Jim meh he was
Thought he was just a small guy in his old age but yeah damn kind of surprising, he couldn't have weighed more than like 140 pounds.
@@roni6135 well, I mean, he is skinny again.
“Skinny” was normal back then...
Wow he had a....beard! He was way before his time! (Hope you get my sarcasm)
Clean shaven in '69, bearded by '70.
It's odd to see him way at the beginning of his career. He got better as he got older
he's great here. Maybe because he is addressing '72 issues, it has no relevance to you. Also, he is on network TV with Standards and Practices in full effect
This is actually closer to mid-career or early mid-career. He started on radio and in his first TV appearances was clean cut with short hair and in a suit with more mainstream subjects like the weather and Indians attacking in old western movies. By this point he had shifted to a younger audience and was dabbling in drug culture.
You'd be doing Dick, his guests and the audience a greater service by running appearances in full. You won't find too many people who will get to the end of a stand-up spot and say, "That was great, now I'm going to find out who owns this stuff and pay them for George's panel segment.''
Carlin pulls back the curtain on who's manipulating us!!!
Looks like jesus doing stand up
Yeshua
'How come you CROSS the road, but you DIE on the cross? Weird, man.'
Some insightful things said. Now I notice that you don't see those "DRUGS" signs anymore.
we have a store near here called "GATEWAY Pharmacy"
I want them to switch their name to GATEWAY DRUGS
Yoooo that’s my dad
What would he say about coffee enemas
6 dislikes are coffee addicts
0:50 nice and small and intimate, too many dopes, orange, mars, coffee freak, she'll start a little at the store at the lines not moving fast 5:00 sounds like your cousin Benny, emotional process
Wonder what George did with his cut hair? 5-7-2022
People used to look like ghosts on TV.
have nothing against the other celebs that were on this show but is this channel ever going to show the Dick Cavett shows where he interviews Jackie Gleason or Art Carney? How about any Honeymooners actors that were part of the main cast? These are rarities much like the other videos.
Carlin talking about the opiate crisis all the way back in the 70s.
I have seen a lot of his stuff, but not this one.
Two words: Cutting Edge.
quite charming. i think sometimes a drug can be quite useful...however, truth be told, if a drug like cocaine or heroin destroys someone on that level it can t be good, despite how good it can make you feel....i d say if one can function and do ok, and use heroin and not die, ok...got a point...since so many, ie. od s....yeah, its so bad when you hear about a heroin od.....now do what you will, coffee can help someone, hey , maybe speed can help people....if it really helps you, in some cases, pot helps certain people...if a drug does help you, i don t nec have a problem. however there is the other side...but it is charming how...carlin puts it.
He looks like jeaus
Was he in Bill and Ted.?
Yes he played Rufus.
He's the guy who brings them the time machine.
His defining role
Relates to the opioid epidemic in the modern world
Bob Saget sounds like George Carlin?
God I miss speed.
My drunken step-father loved him..., which caused me to despise him...
When he used to do clean.. early days
George was never totally clean, he’s clean here because it’s TV 🙄
Humans have had a drug problem ever since early man licked a toad or ate a mushroom, such predated civilization ... the difference now is that drugs have become much more potent and the people haven't kept up with that change ... the most recent one where heroin is being replaced by fentanyl is the biggest killer among illegal drugs ...
PS, I could propose a solution, rather than just going on about the problem: treating addiction as a medical issue, rather than a criminal one ... seems to work wonders in other nations ...
Carlin was a God
So that's where Jesus went after His resurretion --- doing stand up.
