As a six year old in 1982 I fell in love with George Carlin when he said, “I was listening to my Rice Kryspies the other day, and I distinctly heard snap, crackle, fuck him.” Yes, my family is very libertarian about language and the truth and demands people think rigorously about the world. I thank my late aunt who was babysitting that night for bringing George into my life at such an early age. He was a genius. His last special was strong. And Jeselnik is wrong. I watched the special he claims is only available as a bad recording.
I think these guys hate the fact that they will never be as funny as old Georgie. George Carlin only ever had one heir apparent in his lifetime and Bill Hicks died of cancer as a very young man.
There are people who were inspired by George and Bill who will tell you they ain’t as good, like Jimmy Dore and Lee Camp, then their are putzes like this who will never compete with the guy whose star is at the corner of Selma and Vine because where now stands a Bed Bath and Beyond once stood the radio station in LA that gave George his first job in Hollywood. Not his first job in radio, but the first one in Hollywood. He went there with no contacts after doing radio in Louisiana, Boston, and Dallas for a few years, knowing no one and within 5 months he was doing the Tonight Show back when there were three channels and he had booked a national comedy tour.
No one could hold George’s jock strap as a stand up!
