    All we ex-late-night viewers tend to hear about (mostly from one another) is how excellent Johnny was as a straight man, with his intuition and quick adaptability to comedic situtations as they evolved during conversations with his guests. I think these George Carlin visits highlight just how good DAVE was at playing the straight man, as he always attempts to accommodate Carlin's thought process, and to keep the comedic narratives flowing. Just as smart and generous as Johnny in that respect, and it deserves more mention.

      Do people still think that there are some normal people in Hollywood showbusiness? Every single one of them are part of a cult/ "private club"all with masonic links, think of things like the friars club, or the shriners(Don rickels often mentioned it), satanic churches (Sammy Davis Jr as one example), the Rotary clubs and the list goes on and unfortunately gets far darker. By definition Hollywood showbusiness people are all "sellouts" to the normal public. They earn huge amounts of money but just like politicians, there's a price to be paid if you want to be in the "Hollywood club". Not one of the ones that have success in Hollywood have clean hands. They all have something to hide.

    Terrific collection. Due in large part to the insanity of the past 5 years, Carlin's genius has seemed to have had a renaissance. I have heard Bill Burr, Jerry Seinfeld, and Bill Maher talk about Carlin's rightful place on the Mount Rushmore of stand up comedy. In most lists of the greatest stand up comics of all-time, Carlin is considered the 2nd greatest comic of all-time. Richard Pryor is usually ranked #1, but Carlin was a far more unique (e.g., nobody has attempted to copy him) and prodigious (e.g., record 14 HBO Specials, consistently toured for over 40 years) stand up comic.

    • @victoryak86

    Anyone who is a fan of Carlin will enjoy the whole video. Anyone new to Carlin should start with the 1989 shows on. Completion videos show the good and the not so much and Carlin was a bit off of his game through much of the 80s. When he did regain his footing in the late 80s then the best was close at hand. Bonus for Letterman's fans of the bizarre show concepts with the partial relief host segment. As always with Don Giller videos good quality and helpful descriptions. Time well spent.

      Considering it was 1984 I would only assume it has to do with his well known character Hawkeye from the show MASH. That character was very outgoing and always seemed to do the right thing, but mind you I’m an idiot taking a shot in the dark based on the timeline. I didn’t watch the show much (a little before my time) and I may be missing a story arc but 1984 was the final season after 12 or something and it was probably the most popular show in US television history at the time iirc.

      Truth be told....he actually was confessing to his drug usage during that time frame...and it likely contributed to his 30 year battle with cardiovascular problems...Many of us Boomers had a naive fascination about drugs, and some of us paid a high price when it came to health problems later in life.

      Normand is very bright and quick, and I love him, but his language/idea constructions aren't in the same galaxy as Carlin - YET. His podcast partner Joe List is, in my opinion, is sharper as a performer. Normand's humor really bogs down often with sophomoric ideas: gays, pee, tits, etc., but but never in crystalized ways like early Carlin material did. In summation: Normand isn't truly original...he's just very funny, not enlighteningly so.

    I wanted so badly to laugh during his first appearance. Oh well. It was at least interesting to see how this paved the way for all the great comedy that came after. Also, it reminded me that we all progress. Carlin certainly tapped into his true might as a comedian later on when he was extra pissed at the powers that be and the insanity of life.

      Unfortunately, probably never. The extreme left socialist wokee world we live in wouldn't stand for it. If Carlin were alive today doing material on current events, he would be protested against outside his home by people who identify themselves as rocks and silly puddy. Recently, I mentioned Carlin at my job in a lunchtime conversation. About ten people around the table. 8 hated him. Apparently, they didn't like some truth through humor. Sad.
