Sad Words You Can Say on TV

[sdelmonte]

George Carlin died last night. While he was best known for his "Seven Dirty Words" routine, he was a versatile and clever comic who was among the most literate of his age. He get us meatcake and "in baseball you go home." He the first host of Saturday Night Live (when it was just "NBC's Saturday Night") and took over for Ringo Starr as the conductor on Shining Time Station. He played a hippie on The Simpsons, and of course he was in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.

RIP, Mr. Carlin. The world is a sadder place today.
