George Carlin: Mark Twain Prize for American Humor – 2008 (4 of 8)

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

  9. Carlin named his book “When Will Jesus Bring The Pork Chops” to offend the three main monotheistic religions: Christianity, Judaism and Islam. I understand how it might be offensive to Christians and Jews, but how is it offensive to Muslims? Can someone please explain?
