Bandage Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I didn't know him before, but I watched the first movie so far and he was amazing! That really was funny! and not overdone too much, which is a big no no May he rest in peace! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian Alexander Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Man, I can't believe he died. The first thing i saw when i got online was "George Carlin has Died" on Towleroad. So, I quickly flipped through the news channels and bam CNN confirmed it. A sad day for the comedy community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I was really upset to hear about this. Georege Carlin was one of my favorite actors and comediens. It is a sad day for the comedy world. My prayers are with him and his family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bondwriter Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Darn. American humor lost a funny liberal long-haired hippie. Along with the people of SNL back in 87-88, he was one of these guys that made me feel good about the entertainment industry. Too soon? 71 is an OK age anyway if you've managed to live full throttle. So, RIP, George, if there's any place where to rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
