George Carlin: Mark Twain Prize for American Humor – 2008 (5 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

  1. I reckon Dane Cook, Carlos Mencia and Denis Leary will each hang themselves when they finally realise what they’ve done to comics like Bill Hicks, George Carlin, Louis C.K. and Sam Kinison, and how far down they’ve lowered the standard for comedy today.

  2. 05:07 i wonder if they bleeped it just to be in the spirit or if you actually still can’t say **** in that manner

  3. I Love Carlin. . but the only thing that sucked about this ceremony was Denis Leary. . I mean . . Really?!. . Denis Leary?. . you ripped off Bill Hicks you *****!. . and I don’t even know if his story about carlin was even true anymore. .

  4. I wish they’d fbleepking stop bleeping all the sbleept carlin said. I mean what the fbleebk! Aren’t these bleepks bleepking adults? Grow the bleep up for bleep’s sake.

  5. America,
    thirty years on you haven’t moved on at all, still bleeping, censoring and telling people what to say and think on tv, pathetic.

  8. ya he just proved his point with the word ****
    they didn’t bleep it the first time but they did the second. he tells it how it is

  9. Hear Hear!

    Censorship sucks! Everyone says these ******** words sooner or later in life, why hide it!

  10. ……….. BLEEPING GEORGE CARLIN? ….. ok, if I had any faith in humanity left that woulda killed it.

  13. Someone please edit this with the non censured videos of george carlin. 🙂 Thanks DiavoloDiAno, amazing stuff you got here!

  15. People always ****** about Leary ripping off Carlin and Hicks, but the truly fascinating thing, and to me that thing that maks Leary a little easier to tolerate, is that he himself is now being ripped off by *****-knockers like Dane Cook!!

  16. I have been wanting to hear those seven words, all bleeped out, for such a long time. That is hilarious. XD
