Some people can’t handle dry crass humor like the rest of us can. Humor like this to me is Real And now with today’s OVERWHELMING pc culture We will never have a show like this again :(
@@thanosalaarson8290 Agree with Nick Dip, Giraldo and Norton. The monumental would be + Patrice and + Pat Cooper and it run for 3 hours so George, Nick, Greg and Jim get to say something.
Scripted and boring; I prefer Patrice being an elephant stepping on everyone's bits. Carlin was so sanctimonious, I used to love him when I was younger. I can't stand him or people like him now. 10:45 is a prime example of his true colors. He was a terrible father and not a good person.

Patrice said he didn't want to meet George because he didn't wanna change the way he felt about someone he was inspired by like when he said he met Paul Mooney once backstage as a fan at one of Paul's shows and said he was a dick to him.
I dont understand why this show went away. Should have stayed with Colin, and like other shows eventually got a new host if needed like the tonite show, daily show etc. Its a great format.
Rudy Tanelo Ruxy agreed. But it was the core group of guys. Mostly Opie and Anthony regulars that made the show. They tried to imitate the format in shows like Comics unleashed with Byron Allen. Absolute failure. The best we could settle for is some of the regulars appearances on red eye w Greg gutfeld
Ricky \ This should be a podcast. Colin should get his ass in gear and make it happen. The original show was very cheap to make and apart from Patrice and Greg most of the regulars are still with us. A lot of people are thirsting for an honest show like this.
Agreed. Someone would need mighty big balls to give it a go, but I imagine it would be a huge success. May of us are thirsty for this type of conversation.
@@CALISUPERSPORT O&A had Carlin on twice that I know of and he knew that whole bunch of NY comedians. He had also been on Bill Maher's previous talk show Politically Incorrect. Carlin did many shows for other comedians like Chris Rock and Dennis Miller too.
@@notsocrates9529 lol thanks for putting words in my mouth but they taste awful. And ya comedians do view each other as peers the way anyone in any group would.
They should archive this show in the Library of Congress... this will be considered a national treasure in a century's time, and a benchmark for American comedy and pop entertainment.
I've noticed that the usual panel are much more civil to each other when George is on with them. Put Nick, Jim, Greg and Patrice together and they are brutal; hilarious but brutal
There must have been a good reason for this show to have been cut. I am enjoying the banter of these comedians, this looks like a great opportunity for comedians to get their name out there to be seen and heard. This format has to make a comeback.
My mistake on that. Premiere Pro when you scroll and your mouse is over a segment it just changes the opacity. didnt notice it when i was splicing all these clips together
It's a worldwide issue. And it's not the "cancel culture vultures" that's the issue, it's the companies doing whatever the loudest people want because they think it'll make them more money. The people calling to ban or fire people are such a small minority, but their dollar still spends and they ain't losing enough average people to not bow to them. Just follow the money. By the way, it was pretty bad back then too. Patrice and Jimmy were both "cancelled" in the early 00's, didn't seem to hurt them none.
@@Spootnik While I agree that censorship is fueled by corporate interests, cancel culture is real these days. These guys wouldn't even have a platform today. People may have been fined back then, but they weren't exiled from the public eye, they still did their thing. What we have today is absurd.

@@majinboot8775 Way way way before the 90's. When men started to leave the farms and work in the offices post WW2 is when it began and kids were around women.

come to think , this program always had commentary on current legal rulings. could have been on like court tv just as well as comedy central. sorta the spiritual successor to george magazine in many ways. couldnt bring one guest for every episode but greg one of the funniest as always

wtf one of worst decision of networks to cancel this
It was ahead of its time
Some people can’t handle dry crass humor like the rest of us can.
Humor like this to me is Real
And now with today’s OVERWHELMING pc culture
We will never have a show like this again :(
Too right wing.
Nobody was watching this to be honest, bad timespot
yeah following the daily show and the bazillion ad breaks it had
You can tell the boys worked really hard on their writing for this one.
Jimmy was on one tonight
Oh absolutely. Gotta impress dad lol
Almost too hard
Carlin sittin there like the Gandalf the White of comedians
"there is too much attention to children." - George Carlin

We heard you stupid
Sean Marren
That's because he IS!
Love how he barely addresses the topic half the time and STILL kills it.
Rest in peace George Carlin and Greg Giraldo.
I miss those guys so fucking much.
That’s why I clicked. Just for them.
RIP at 8:40 for the lights
Two of the best ever.
Davey is that you how’s the baby wit Crimson Chin?
God do I wish Patrice and George Carlin shared an episode once...

Total agreement 😁
Greatest comedy show then Chappelle show..that's how I rolllllllllllllll
Probably the best
AKA a Patrice-less episode lol

Being a comedian around George Carlin must be like being a weight lifter around Superman.
... or Pope hangin’ around with Jesus? In a stripclub? Both totally wasted? :P
The Pope, Jesus and a talking duck walk into a bar. The bartender asks "are you three lost ?" and the duck replies "yes, we're looking for the set-up of a Norm McDonald joke ..."
I dunno. He was a good stand up, I guess. Clever. It's not like he was all that funny, though. You know, in the room. Bostin
@@duncefunce1513 he is a professional preformer. He never liked this kind of stuff. He wanted to be an actor.
And still,he became the worlds greatest stand up,the father of dark humor, and his material still holds up. He wasn't a comics comic,he was a comedic genius. And he will forever be quoted, like the Pythons, or the Marks brothers.

Comedians always said that Carlin never was that funny off the cuff. If you pay attention he says a lot of stuff he already had prepared.
jesus this is like dream team lineup of comedians. wish they could have had Patrice on there, but to ask too much is a sin.
Excellent thought.
it'll be interesting to know why patrice didn't, or wasn't offer to be in this show. being that carlin is one of his favorite comedian.
t100base he probably had a gig somewhere out of the city.
@brutallyhonest yea I was thinking that. too bad, would've been great to see both of them in the same conversation.
Patrice said he didn't want to meet George because he didn't wanna change the way he felt about someone he was inspired by like when he said he met Paul Mooney once backstage as a fan at one of Paul's shows and said he was a dick to him.
This is a heavy lineup folks
patrice isnt on it. (fat joke/recognition of the goat)
@@cavemanvi if only Patrice was there man, damn
Jesus Christ, it's so fucking effortless for Carlin. What a legend.
Gaba Gool the effort was the hours and hours he spends honing his material in the mirror, all the way up to the end. He only makes it look effortless
ya, plus all these guys wrote most bits and jokes in production before taping, but still amazing regardless
By that point it was effortless, you think he needed practise in the mirror?!@@brutallyhonest123

I am LOVING watching all these episodes of Tough Crowd - brilliant stuff that is still relevant today!!!
God I miss George Carlin. Legend. He truly was beyond.
Enjoyed the really dark comedy on the second act.
I saw what you did there (and I saw - barely - what they did there too)!
Literally thought I misread the title when I saw “George Carlin”. Having him there must have been like playing pickup basketball with Michael Jordan.
I like the way they sneak a peek to see if Carlin is laughing at their jokes.
lil yimmy brought his A game for this one
If he was like that all the time he would have been a big player
look who hes with, iron sharpens iron
the fact that George Carlin came on this show was the highlight of Colin's career. this is where Colin's rise to mediocracy started.
That was dick, but hilarious 😂😂😂
How's your Fat?
U stole that joke from one of the Comedy central roasts... But not bad.
Holly fuck I love Colin but he would have probably laughed at this one
Shit son, that started in 1989 when he was a co-host on Remote Control.
I can’t believe I never thought to look this up sooner and I can’t believe it actually came up when I typed it in
This is one of the best ones ever..
Imagine if Greg giraldo survived for the podcast era
Right? Carlin too RIP🙏🏻
He would have surpassed Bill Burr. Him and Patrice would have been bigger legends
@Barfieman362 i don’t think a pod together would have workded. If each had their own pod…they would surely beat guys like Norton & burr imo
Patrice and Anthony Cumia would’ve been a perfect fit in a perfect world
I dont understand why this show went away. Should have stayed with Colin, and like other shows eventually got a new host if needed like the tonite show, daily show etc. Its a great format.

This was great! Just stumbled upon it! Shared it.
This was an every night watch for me in High School. This episode is one of the best.
This is by far my favorite episode of Tough Crowd. Mainly because of George Carlin but the other three are pretty great too.
Oh my God, they cut away from Carlin's hilarious punchline to the 7 new words joke at 17:20
"Welcome to the Jim Norton Show, everybody!"
Was that it? Thank you.
I thought the joke was they cut away cause they're seven words you can't say on television. That's funnier though.
Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.
-George Carlin
Truer words were never spoken. Especially today.
Holy shit just looking at these names together deserves a like in my world
So glad this clip exists!
Look at how nervous/giddy like children they are around George….most raw edged veteran dudes around. Brings a smile to my face
I had no idea how good this show was!
Watching this in 2018, no way this would fly. People would be rioting. Loved it!

I can only imaging having Patrice on this panel.

@@CALISUPERSPORT O&A had Carlin on twice that I know of and he knew that whole bunch of NY comedians. He had also been on Bill Maher's previous talk show Politically Incorrect. Carlin did many shows for other comedians like Chris Rock and Dennis Miller too.
That would be an overload of comedy
George is such a master that he adds a bit at 8:03 just to keep the room rolling/ save the room after Greg’s ok joke
I don't think he needed saving.
Saving? It was a chance to one-up and inflate ego.
Guys when stand ups say “save the room” it means make the audience roll again after a joke doesn’t go as well as it could have.
