How George Carlin Found His Voice

Title:

Description:

Today, we're talking about a classic. We're talking about George Carlin. There are about a million good stories to tell about this man -- he's the consummate comedian. He's *the* comedian. In the short history of stand-up comedy, George Carlin managed to stay current for over five decades. He was a prolific artist and a voice of reason throughout all of these different seasons of American history.

In 1974 Carlin told his audience, “I think it is the duty of the comedian to find out where the line is drawn and cross it deliberately.” Let's look at how he made that possible because, for many years, that wasn't what he was or what he did. Once upon a time that was new territory, and he had to learn how to be the type of comedian that crossed lines. 🧔 ✌️

Oh, and here's a great example of the 'new' Carlin in the early 1970s (I tried to add clips from this but they were flagged for copyright reasons) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1x3JcrUcb-4
