George Carlin. The comedian. The man. Seven Words You Can Never Say On TV.
For many of us, these words have a special meaning. Unfortunately, George Carlin, the great comedian and host of the entertainment show called 7 Words You Can Never Say on TV, died yesterday, at the age of 71 by a sudden cardiac arrest.
Carlin began his adventure back in the late 70s, when he got the radio station in trouble because of his 7 words show. The radio station got accused of offensive language and it was in danger of getting suspended or pay a big fine.
Spoken comedy has got a new meaning, once George Carlin started Saturday Night Live, the show which entertained so many comedy lovers across so many years. During his long and fruitful career, he got multiple Grammy awards and he was nominated for Emmy awards. If you didn’t know it yet, find out that George Carlin was also a writer: he wrote a comedy book which got him the Mark Twain award.
Now George Carlin dies, but he is still alive in our memory. We will remember him as he was the rebellious guy who even got arrested for disturbing the peace of the community while he was living in Milwaukee.
Rest in peace, George Carlin. Thank you for being you. These are the Seven Words You Can Never Say On TV.
