I’d be fibbing if we said we had no laughs in the last year, but I sure miss the man. Rickles was the finest, funniest “stand-up” comedian I’ve had the honor to see. His career speaks for itself. His quick wit, his ability to maintain and entertain and audience, often all of the time at peak levels, is just astounding. A kind and loving man off-stage, the world is surely less funny without him in it. I miss him so much.
The world has lost one of its best comedians. George Carlin, the satirical and wonderfully entertaining individual is gone. Entertaining millions for five decades, George Carlin was my favorite comedian. His way of enlightening people and entertaining at the same time, was truly amazing. He made you think. He made you laugh. And he made you think again. From his rants on Corporate America to Religion, to the simple phrases and words we all used every day, George was entertaining from start to finish.
George Carlin was the king of one-liner thoughts that really made you think! Here, check out this list. Amazing stuff!!
I had seen Carlin 6 or 7 times in the last 10 years, the most recent in May of 2007. He looked noticeably more frail than the year before, and I knew his time was limited. I didn’t think he would have gone this quick, though. None the less, Heaven – if it exists – and Carlin would say it doesn’t, is now a funnier place.
For now, and hopefully not forever, bye George. You were not one of the greatest—you were the greatest. Enjoy the ride.
