On June 18, 2008, four days before his death, the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, DC announced that Carlin would be the 2008 honoree of the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, which was awarded on November 10, 2008. Carlin thus became the award’s first posthumous recipient, a decision the Kennedy Center made after consulting with both Carlin’s family and PBS (which aired the ceremony). ^Source en.wikipedia.org

***** your heart!!!!!!! Come back you old *****..
A few people who should’ve been here before Margaret Cho and Joan Rivers: Kevin Smith (Carlin was in two of his movies, for Christ sakes), Jerry Seinfeld (apparently they were friends), Dennis Miller, Jack Burns (his old partner).
Well, the list could go on forever, really.
i agree, but i think pbs does all the kennedy center stuff, and also this gets out to more people, everyone has pbs, but a lot of people dont have hbo.
seinfeld
george would be pissed off that they censored the word tits
Comparing Mark Twain to John Steward is similar to comparing cheese to tits.
