George Carlin
Born: 1937-05-12 - Died: 2008-06-22Cause of Death: Heart Failure
Death Summary: George Carlin died at the age of 71 when his heart gave out after being admitted to St. John's Hospital in Santa Monica, California for having chest pains. He died the same day.
Carlin's death was covered extensively by the media somewhat ironically as Carlin himself once said, "I dread the deaths of certain super-celebrities. Not because I care about them, but because of all the shit I have to endure on television when one of them dies. All those tributes and retrospectives. And the bigger the personality, the worse it is."
Carlin was cremated and had no public or religious services performed as he had previously requested.
Who was George Carlin : George Carlin was widely regarded as one of the best comedians of all time. He was awarded four Grammies for his comedy albums. His most famous bit about the seven words you are not allowed to say on television was actually used as reference in a Supreme Court case regarding the government's power to regulate "indecent" material on public airwaves.

I think George Carlin’s comments about religion and how it is the ‘biggest bullshit department ever’ is right on the mark. I have the book ‘Celebrities in Hell’ and he is listed with that famous comment. Carlin’s comments will live and bring laughter long after his death. I’m glad I was able to live during Carlin’s lifetime and watch, listen, read and enjoy this great man tell it like it really was and is. Long live George Carlin. Dennis Chamberlain
Not every comedian is an intellectual, but George made the great exception, insulting every snob equally, not to mention those who like to impose ideals and all other bs… God created and knew George well, as a matter of fact, I bet HE is enjoying George’s comments in heaven…
SH*T, P*SS, F*CK, C*NT, C*CKS*CKER, MOTHERF*CKER,
And T*TS!”T*ts” doesn’t belong, it sounds like a nickname! RIP George!

George was the funniest comediean that I have ever heard when I was was younger and still is! This man has a way that makes you think twice about stuff! All of it basically True!This man could read between the lines of life. He got it right on! He will be missed. He was awsome. To his Family my Greatest Reguards and love for such an awsome personality as him! I Thank you for bringing him into so many lives!
In memory of George, I promise to avoid “arrogance”, I will not golf,hug a tree or worry about being “green”…..I will let plastic and foam re-enter the earth and perhaps avoid the “virus”. I wish I could have spent some time with the man…..shit,piss bullshit etc.
he,s not in Heaven folks. hate to disapoint ya.
And he’s not in HELL either, BECAUSE THERE IS NONE, GET OVER IT!
First time I was exposed to George..orge.orge-that name just goes on and On and ON-was in the early ’70’s. My sons (4 of them) grow-up listening to Carlin. The hippy dippy weatherman lives on. Forecast for the night…dark. Hope to see you on the other side.
What a great man
You will be greatly missed….Sorry to see a great comedian go.
George without you where will the truth come from. RIP, my hero.
Some people really hated him, but we, as a conscious species, needed him. He said what people think, but are often afraid to say. He knocked down barriers. Really funny, extremely bright guy.
george will be rememberd forever
A person who showed me how comedy is all around us 24/7. May you rest peacfully.
George Carlin was the undisputed and real king of comedy! May he rest in peace. And he’s neither in heaven or hell. He’s either in the sun or on somebody’s roof.
RIP
George Carlin is my all-time favorite comedian. Hilariously funny, on the mark, and brutally honest. I miss you, George.
Each insult in Religious /Political and other stuff where quite good and he was well prepared to say out loud what he thought . I liked his perspective of life , i think now is the time to delete the contact in my computer of him .
May he watch us from up there and smile up on us …
Anyhow rest in piece George.

He and I had more in common than just our first name and last initial. We seemed to think alike, especially about sensitive subjects.
