His comedic sensibility revolved around a central theme: humanity is a cursed, doomed species.
"I don't have any beliefs or allegiances. I don't believe in this country, I don't believe in religion, or a god, and I don't believe in all these man-made institutional ideas," he told Reuters in a 2001 interview.
Carlin told Playboy in 2005 that he looked forward to an afterlife where he could watch the decline of civilization on a "heavenly CNN."
"The world is a big theater-in-the round as far as I'm concerned, and I'd love to watch it spin itself into oblivion," he said. "Tune in and watch the human adventure."
Thank you so much, George Carlin, thank you so much. Humanity will not disappoint you. We grieve that you are gone from our realm but we celebrate that you are still watching us all on "Heavenly CNN" as per your request.


R.I.P., Sir.

In the end all of us will die. The only real difference is in how we will be remembered, who will remember us and for how long.

I have a feeling that in George's case the answers will be as follows; very well and fondly, the entire free world, and for as long as satire and comedy exist.

Rest in peace, George.

That was one funny fella there!

I always enjoyed his view on things..usually very spot on, without all the fluff that we tend to use to cover up the flaws in how we live our lives!

RIP George Carlin!
