It was nice of Howard to start Monday's show with a mini tribute to this comic genius, trailblazer and icon. Howard is right about George being "not a good guest for the show". George kept his private life "private" and that is not what Howard's show is about. I've seen Carlin interviewed and although interesting it is a bit "long". I hope Howard doesn't regret this decision.
I've been a fan of Georges since the late 70s (my teens) and thoroughly loved his first HBO special! He had a special way with words, to say the least.

Re: George Carlin - May 12, 1937 – June 22, 2008
Tue, June 24, 2008 - 2:18 AMCarlin was THE best, hands down. In many ways, he's a bit like Howard. He comments on the way things are in the here and now, and uses humor to make you think about it. Chris Rock is someone very similar to George's style.
Don't really remember when Carlin was on his show, but I hope they might play it in a special Master Tape (or Friday show). My only gripe about today's tribute was that I wish they spent a bit more time on it, they did about 20 min. and then it seemed the rest of the hour was spent on Handsy. Sure, Belzer did his thing at the end, but I just wish it was a bit more. -

Tue, June 24, 2008 - 5:27 PMI just found out today that one of the comedy channels (Blue Collar?) did a tribute all day Monday until midnight! It sucked that I missed it.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they'll play and repeat Carlin's appearance on Howards show. That would be great!
Off the topic but what was it about Handsy that Howard got so fixated about and why? WTF was up with that? They really grilled him well done! -

It also sucked that I didn't think to turn on one of those channels to check! Fucking brain of mine is malfunctioning .... -

Yeah, Handsy, what the fuck was up with that!
