  • This video is so hard to find

  • @Seasino I have this in my playlist, all parts of the entire interview. On the first video i noticed this notice by Youtube..."This video is unlisted. Only those with the link can see it."

  • HEY! NO PART 2 TO THIS??!

  • Creepily detailed, but nonetheless an amazing man... RIP

  • i miss george so much :(

    r.i.p you brilliant son of a bitch!

  • comment approval on a george carlin video ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!? he would be appalled and we should all feel the same way

  • George's story sounds like a direct excerpt from Gladwell's Outliers.

  • Harlem = Haarlem, Brooklyn = Breukelen, New York was New Amsterdam. Funny to hear the dutch influences.

  • 7 months before he died. :( June 22, 2008 a very sad day in history.

  • he said GOD at 15:39

  • @vdrive7 he said God in the same way someone else would say "shucks" with the same level of significance and meaning

  • @vdrive7 haha! and what do you mean by that? "hes a believer"?! its a common expression in our language... get a clue!

  • he does more than comedy, he speaks the truth

  • may he rest in peace!

  • Thank the sun that your mother saw that painting.

  • George Carlin was the best mistake in the whole history of humankind

  • @CraziekatieM A-friggin-men to that!

  • Fantastic, but where's the rest?

  • gawd ,i had forgot ,about watching the test page,when i was a kid

  • this feels like a p.o.w. interrogation

  • Where are parts 2 through 7?

  • bill kicks is up there for greatest comedians but man some good shit comes out of Georges mouth.

  • I knew Mr. Carlin was funny, but I didn't realize how kind and funny he was! RIP

  • My dad, mum, grandfather are all speakers, so is me, my little brother and many more, we all have a big mouth and can't shut up.

  • The birth story was cool. Its like the universe demanded he exist.

    I know that feeling of "I could do that" as more than just "anyone could do that, a monkey could do that". To see or hear something and to see that indescribable thing in it that, to feel the seed of what could be your destiny, is beyond description. Its like falling in love with an idea.

  • George and Bill, the only two I will ever miss

  • These archived histories done with many other performers, are terrific.

    George Carlin is an amazing story teller.

    He had some crazy beginnings, huh?

  • ~wonderful insights from the brilliant St.Geo.Carlin, whom possessed great qualities keenly honed by life's experiences which made him a unique man, that would have likely been an outstanding usPresident. For he also exhibited the ethical qualities, underscored by an abiding love for our precious usConstitution & BoR, -which would have been just the ticket for today's political scene, -as he'd not AT ALL put up with the ruthless jewZionist Bank'ster-mafia criminals; --they'd NOT OWN HIM!!!

  • @AryanKnight About him as president... It seems to me like you completely ignored his opinions about politics...

  • I always intuited he was a calm, thoughtful soul, deep down. Wish he had been my uncle ..

  • george carlin was cornholed by his priest

  • Too bad You Tube doesn't work good enough anymore for me to be able to find this on your channel.

  • he spoke the truth...nothing else. and that why he is the best and i think in his early years as a comedian he was WELL ahead of his time

  • Something doesn't sound right. He says he never met his father, but says he could see the fear in his mother when he came over. Hmmm.

  • @FrankeeFraud

    'When the door bell would ring', which just means, that his mother assumed, it could be her stalking husband. Doesn't imply, that it was actually him.

  • @FrankeeFraud "I saw the fear in her when the doorbell would ring". Big difference. His mom was scared that is might be his dad, not that is WAS his dad. He said that didn't stop until after his dad died.

  • @FrankeeFraud He said he could see the fear in his Mother when the doorbell rang,

    not when he came over.

    She was afraid the Father had found their location.

  • I love George Carlin

  • what a superstitious crap!...he bags religions and popular beliefs, and he then believes these things things...looking at how he describes his birth...disappointing.

  • @Pakman78 He tries to make you think. If you read Brain Droppings, he says to take none of it seriously. The only thing he was against was bullshit without a reason. He didn't want death to millions. He grew up Catholic and found bullshit in it and can defend it. Can you defend Catholicism? And besides, we all know birth is "sliding headfirst down a vagina into a screaming woman's lap." May Carlin's words forever survive through text and recordings.

  • @Pakman78 George isn't superstitious. He's describing his mother's superstition and how that led her to decide not to abort him as was her plan.

  • @Pakman78

    when he died he got no religious service or public gathering....so I think he was genuine my friend

  • This guy is a genius!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

  • rest in peace i hate seeing him like this you can tell he's nearing the end. forever the best stand-up comedian

  • It sounds like he wants to cry when he says 40-50s

  • Man, thankfully you guys did this interview before he died! it's so long too, pretty much his life story and we get to hear it.. thanks!

  • Hi can someone please listen to me I want to tell stories- type veral1979 mad house

    thanks

  • George surly made his mark. Sorry for missing your last performance brother.

  • Someone who you SHOULD look up to and learn from, not those politicians that lie and cheat. Im glad i live in his time to learn from him. Truly a great wise man. R.I.P. Gorge.

  • great

  • I'm a bit pissed that he had such middle class roots when he always seemed to claim a working class view and heritage. Sorry sycophants.

  • 4:26

    George's father beat his brother with a leather slipper ...nightly...but didn't hit his mother...because she had brothers and a cop for a father.

    Why didn't his mother stop her husband from beating her son?

    If I had lived in that house...I would have hated both of them.

  • Neat, but you didn't.

  • just the way he said the word "Dominicans" makes me proud to be one. <3

  • @AllShallCherish So you obviously haven't watched all his shows, especially the one about "proud" to be American, Indian and so on :)

  • George i am so happy your mother didn't have that abortion because, quite simply, you are one of the greatest human beings to ever grace this planet.

  • @Chimhazzard I think im going to be sick.

  • Not exaggerating right now, I could honestly listen to George tell stories for hours upon hours upon hours on end. He was just such a fantastic human.. It genuinely saddens me that he is dead. I still can't believe it..

  • I grew up listening to this genius.The world is a sad place without him. We lost a true legend. No one even comes close to his amazing insights. I hope he is keeping em in stitches where ever he is.:)

  • it's amazing to see how he speaks so respectfully of his father even though he was a strange man and also his mother. This man was incredible!

  • is this an interview or a census?

  • I think I just became pro life.

  • George Carlin is by far the greatest comedian to ever live. No one else even comes close.

  • crasy to think that such a great comedian came in to this world by two accidents

  • I love hearing stories like this! My grandparents used to share very similar stories from their childhood - it's all part of a family legacy.

  • My God, if his mother went ahead with that abortion, we wouldn't have had the wonderful George Carlin! Weird!

  • How can anyone think George Carlin was a comedian? He's a preacher and he's preaching, revealing the naked truth about how corrupt politics and its actors are, he's telling the truth about the dirty nature of humans and how disgusting we are and merciless towards other fellow humans. Most of all he' has enlightened average people about how false religions are and how stupid it is to believe in this higher order that is nothing but man made bullshit story. Learn from him, hail him, and ACT.

  • @spacewwalk

    I am sure you know that at the heart of all good comedy is truth...if what Carlin was saying did not have an element of truth in it I doubt many would find it funny. To me, the job of a comedian is to teach with humour, and this is what Carlin does in spades.

  • hes brilliant

  • my only regret is that i'll never see him in a live show

  • George Carlin.

    One of the smartest men ever, and also one of the funniest.

  • To me, Carlin was more than just the greatest comedian of all time, he was one of the greatest thinkers of all time.

  • I am glad you were born, George.

  • Good show George.

    Now you need not worry about carrying all that damn 'stuff'!

  • @guthax20 yeah carlin would like it... he is a fan of dramatizing!!

    dude, you can get any carlin's material you want, and now you want some geek to act like carlin and ruin the whole idea of his comedy and philosophy??? you really want to carlin's work become a pop culture??

    i'll pass on that.. i like everything i saw and heard from him, and i couldn't care less for some post-carlin money-grabbing production

  • 18:20 "All those wonderful memories".

    Yes George. Thank you for all those wonderful memories.

    We all miss you.

  • They really need to create a film based off his life, because it would make for a very interesting story, especially if they dramatized it.

  • Long live the legendary comedian!

  • one of thousand and more reason.. okay. have you heard about the Mitocondria EVE?

    serch for it. and do you know about the Big Bang theory? its not just a theory. because

    there are other facts found that the universe is consistently expending. this mean it has

    the starting point. if you have any scientific knowledge, you wouldnt be mocking God. all non scientific people just spiting all of other ignorant thoughts and words.. without

    scientific facts.. only doubts.. and stupidities.

  • Pure genius ..

  • George Carlin has got to be 1 of the most brilliant men ive ever heard

  • he discusses at least the first 10 minutes of this in his auto bio

  • Righting a biography on him in school, this is

    everything and more thank you. RIP

  • Thanks for posting this. He did age a lot quicker than average, but... He lived, he LIVED. Thank you.

  • Thank you, painting that saved one of the greatest minds of the last 60 years from oblivion.

  • This comprises a pathos the likes of which is rarely seen from performers nowadays.

  • alot of truth, humbleness, and...just such a loss. wish i met him.

  • What does "luzl" mean?

  • it's like lol only cooler (apparently)

  • Legendary

  • comedy is one of the best ways to speak the truths we feel.

    George Carlin will live forever.

  • One of very few modern personalities I have true respect for.

  • this interview is great! happy to have found it. thanks..to whoever.

  • this is worth it's weight in gold. god i miss this guy.

  • This video is an absolute bloody treasure. Amazing dude,

  • As I watch this I wonder if anyone had measured this guys IQ...I know it really doesn't matter,but, I would guess 160-170 level.......

    This guy not only had his life planned when he was 11...He worked it out...step by step...to

    fruition...damn...I'm impressed...Thanks George...RIP...

  • @oldyuma Just out of interest. Whý all the periods in your text?

  • really GREATEST artist! I love it!

  • I hope those tapes of a young 12 year old George Carlin still exist!

  • The most interesting interview I ever saw

  • sounds like a 5 enneagram, yet extroverted???

  • Perhaps only seemingly so. Many comedians and journalists appear extroverted, yet are introverted. I do not know if this applies to George Carlin tho. Just a possibility..

  • An amazing man.

  • I love this, I love listening to this amazing man......

    He really was a character!

  • what a verbal and comic genius, i wish he were still alive. When i die, i want my ashes to be tossed into a strong south easterly wind and end up in Washington D.C. that way i can piss them off by being a nuisance to those pricks lol

  • "Fifty feet from the drain pipe."

    Wow, that's a oddly evocative way of saying "I was almost aborted."

  • George Carlin is the GREATEST comedian of all time hands down.

  • I personaly think he was on par with Bill Hicks, sadly Bill never got the media attention he needed to get himself 'out there'.

    I think people saw what carlin was capable of and allowed him to thrive, but you right, he was Great.

  • @MadeLaidMan Not just the greatest comedian. George is a very intelligent man, the world could have learned alot from him, i did, sadly many did not.

    R.I.P. George Carlin.

  • @MadeLaidMan was...

  • pissing on someones grave even hitlers is just so low life...

  • @ruck27 Why is it low life? Because they still exist? Wrong.. They are a rotting corpse and have no idea that you are pissing on their graves because they no longer exist.

  • when i die i want my body to be cut up for scientific study, or to be part of a nutritious fertilizer, so i can be of some use to society...instead of a liability to my family! lulz :D

  • an awesome and true visionary Rip you legend

    check out my videos if you want

  • @zephranna01 good luck finding his grave,he was cremated and scattered [dumbass]

  • dEAdsPaCefanatics! Im sure George Carlin would approve of u pissing on his grave since he is an atheist. LOOOL DUMBASS, u cant touch him or those who share his beliefs... cute that you try so hard..LOL

  • @MrDresdekay,

    Well said

  • go! do it, I dont thinks he will care! But you for sure will look very stupid...

  • @zephranna01

    Oh, and he doesn't have a grave. His ashes were scattered.

    May your shit come to life and kiss you on the face.

  • You need to get your ass kicked

  • shut up prick

  • does anyone els think the very beggining was awkward as fuck. just sitting next to each other

  • Yes, he deserved better than that no question. Not many people remember that George was around when Lenny Bruce tore the ass out of conventional comedy. Nothing was sacred to Lenny, and he blazed the trail for George. Some of George's most loved material was in his 40s and 50s, but it took age to bring out his really ruthless irony of the world we live in. Not that he didn't cross the line all his life, he just did it with more anger in his latter years, and we will always love him for it.

  • @Flapjackhayden it is lol

  • @Flapjackhayden fuck yeah, i saw that too

  • George Carlin, one of the 3 best ever! along Richard Pryor and Lenny Bruce!

    RIP! a fuckin shame that death cant spare just the best ;)

  • in the words of the great george carlin fuckem.

  • @ stringtheory

    heh, you should watch Carlin's HBO specials...he does a bit about why it's crazy to be proud of something we have no choice about. ie. heritage/ethnic pride.

    The bit is freakin hillarious, you should check it out.

  • He was a real person and as an Irishman I can say I am proud that he mentions his irish heritage. Compassionately. A beautiful human being. RIP

  • If you watch this, and then watch his HBO special "It's Bad For Ya", which was filmed about five months after this interview, you can tell that he aged really quickly in those months.. You can hear it in his voice too. Greatest comedian ever.

  • carlin is awesome

  • American heart, Irish blood. a true legend. RIP

  • genius!!!!!!!

  • george should have had a few kids. now, nothing is left behind. just video and photo footage

  • @scir91 He had a daughter. not sure if he had any more kids than that though.

  • @scir91 im pretty sure he has a son

  • How did U post more than 10 mins - I was refused with 11:40?

  • Beautful Interview, The Other Side of George Carlin,Very Nice, Thank You, I miss George.

  • george carlin always saw the truth... and he never stopped short of letting us know...

  • He was a good man. And that's about one of the greatest compliments one can make.

  • What a truly amazing life he had

  • Painfully honest. A true giant! Love from Italy

  • He was just a brilliant man, who did nothing more than look at life and say, "what the fuck?"

    And somehow...when you look at life, and say "what the fuck", everything starts making sense.

  • i cant help but to see some parallels between mine george carlins life like i didnt know my dad but i did him my mom always till this day talks about my dead dad in a positive light also its not the radio but i would also spend hours watching diffrent t.v. programs that help shape who i am even cred to george for helping with my views of the world so r.i.p. george where ever u r (heaven or hell) i hope to c u live

  • I just came back from New York City where I made a pilgrimage to 519 West 121st Street and paid my respects to George's apartment block where he grew up, just up the block from Union Theological Seminary and around the corner from Columbia University. "White Harlem" as George called it.

  • i miss George Carlin only he could do comedy for 2 hours and make me laugh the whole time RIP George :)

  • thank you george,you made my life a little more on the happy side _its good to laugh _but truth is what its all about and you even gave us that _dont belive everything your gov. tells you _allways question authority-history tells us that !!!

  • If George ain't in Heaven I don't wanna go either.. Keepin it real since 1937.....

  • If I could, I would give him one of my yers.

  • If people could've done that, he would live forever.

  • He was an amazing man. He was a progressive which is important to know. And many of his ideals are skewed in my opinion. But he was amazing. I have watched all of his stuff, and he just totally cracks me up.

  • He had an impressive memory.

  • Anybody ever seen, or have a picture or any audio about GC's wife? Who did he marry, when, where, etc?

  • you fucking google that idiot

  • O I CAN hear it now, sorry. he sounds like an intellectual. most comedians are not too smart. they use the word fuck every other word like a polysyndeton.

  • George used cursewords a lot, as did Bill Hicks. To say that that's because they weren't intelligent is ridiculous, they're two of the smartest men I've ever come across.

  • Lack of usage of the word fuck does not constitue intelligence, neither does the opposite make someone non-intelligent.

  • I can't imagine that there's a stupid comedian who is successful. It's got to be one of the most difficult performance arts. You have to calculate so much in relation to your audience while still writing at least somewhat original material and delivering it in a distinct way. Dumb asses wouldn't even know where to start.

  • wow, he died 6 months later...unbelievable

  • If I'm rly be serious ...

    I get tears when I see him speaking so clear and honestly ... and I realize that he's dead ...

    He's my idol too, so I introduce his shows everybody I know

  • A real man in my eyes, the only teacher u need hehe

  • Having seen so much of his standup, it's funny to find he's actually pretty calm and controlled in real life. His voice is sort of hypnotic...

  • man he looked soo uncomfortable during the first half minute

  • R.I.P died at 71 but well life forever yes that long time may joe bless you, may the sun mourn your death, may your soul go to that garage in buffalo, you'll be missed but never forgotten and your impact on the world will remain

    a Comedian did what presidents couldn't

  • Wtf?:-P

  • I agree with BartelDoo George Carlin is my idol he may be gone but my kids will be rised on him as well

    George Carlin R.I.P you'll be missed and can never be replaced

  • His voice broke my speakers.

  • omg, he hates those 2 preeks, LOL, on of the greatest AMERICAN people!

  • my sound went of; who did he said were the people who inspired him, and, in what show???

  • Can't believe he's dead.

  • George Carlin would not approve of your attempted censorship... You know you wouldn't accept his comments.

    You don't have to accept this one, just think about it.

  • George had a heart condition, and he knew it, he had 2 previous heart attacks. He went to the hospital because of chest pains & shortness of breath, but he died before the doctors could do anything. He was 70. I don't think it matter how long you live, but what you do with the time you have. And George certainly left his mark.

  • 70 is HUGE especially with all these celebrities dying tin recent days.

  • Why did he had to die? I just love this man and i dont want to believe he is dead because then i am left with the rest of Boll sheet you see on the TV.
