Carlin may have done more, but Robert Klein got there first. This is the inaugural HBO "On Location" comedy special, airing on New Year's Eve 1975. Enjoy this treasure!
Robert always said he was the first ever to do a comedy set on HBO and here it is. I have always been a fan of his as he always stayed real to who he was and what he stood for.
I remember seeing this on HBO when it came out. I loved it especially the finale. Still a teen in '75 when cable tv and HBO hit upstate NY. That was a big change for tv back then. No more 3 channels and having the antenna on the roof. Cable bought with it tv stations out of New York City and that bought ABA basketball with Dr. J and the New York Nets. HBO bought boobies to tv along with Klein and movies like Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Blazing Saddles, and Young Frankenstein.

Still funny now! Can't believe his act holds up in 2023!
Comedy had reached its height of sophistication & intellect under Robert Klein. I hope we find our way back to that someday.
Klein style is funny and witty, without being crass. I saw him live in the 70's, on the same bill with Janice Ian. Thanks for the video!
