Sorry Jerry but you're off on that one. Jerry may do jokey material that isn't based upon truth. He is a light, fluffy, fun based comedian, albeit very talented at doing so. The GREAT ones tell the truth and THAT is what makes them is most ingenious, clever, and hilarious.
@rogerrodd Seinfeld is correct. It is hardly some keen observation to note that as humans(comedians would be members of that group) we all say things,at times, things that we don't necessarily believe in,in part,whole-heartedly,in passing etc.
The difference between "you" & "I", the civilian,if you will,and the professional comic/comedian/artist is that the pro does what he/she does in exchange for some more tangible reward in addition to whatever intrinsic value the acts may hold
@CroissantOrange Like he spoke badly about Carlin.... he praised him a lot, you mean to say all the praise is to be discredited and Carlin was an idiot?
I respect Carlin for his ability to overcome Western propaganda and see the world with clean fresh eyes. I also admire the precision in his choice of word. - says a devoted Muslim.
The mainstream media always praises Carlin and calls him brilliant, but they censor his funniest bits. Carlin was extremely critical of politics, the government, etc. but the media can't afford to show that on live TV. It's against their business interests. Which is why Carlin is mainly remembered for the Seven Words, even though it's one of his more inferior works IMO.
@URSExelcior I get what your saying. When he died the media just kinda watered down his legacy as the "wacky old hippie who said a lot of naughty words! ha ho!" ignoring the fact that he constanly bashed their industry and ideas.
@theparadox89 I think that I understand why you asked that. I am a big Carlin fan. I think, or I like to think, Carlin understood and believed what he said. I think that was what was unique about him: he knew that what he said was the truth or at least noteworthy & he believed it or believed that the audience would believe it. So I can't believe that he didn't believe "most" of what he said. Just saying it for the sake of being funny, doesn't seem Carlin to me. He meant all of it. Or most of it.
I agree...I think it's obvious when he doesn't believe what he is saying...such as silly little jokes for the sake of it...but when it came to the serious stuff...religion, war, politicians etc....what made us laugh was because he told the truth..and in doing so showed us the absurdity of these things... By telling us the truth he showed us the lies in religion and politics etc...and showed us how these people try to get away with such lies...that's why he was so funny.
It's like they chose to show the most vulgar and simplistic bits of his material, just to paint him as some provocative fool, a rebel without a cause, when he was much more. Doing this helps to diminish the important lessons that he tried to teach trough his comedy.
Jerry Seinfeld is so full of shit. Not on his word about Carlin. Carlin was awesome, but Jerry is fake and says whatever to keep TV show offers coming. People know him mainly from the show Seinfeld, not his comedy stand up act. Even though he interjected parts of his stand up into the show.
Seinfeld would not have HAD a TV show unless he had slugged away at stand up for 10+ years beforehand. And since ending his show in '98, he's developed one documentary (about stand up), an animated feature, and a quasi-game-panel show. The bulk of his work post-Seinfeld has been stand up. Seinfeld doesn't NEED or SEEK "offers". If he were TV-centric, why end a #1 rated show? Carlin alludes to people like you in this tribute. Five seconds more and you could've worked all this out yourself.
George carlin saw it, the government/religion/stuff your fed from birth, I watched all george material since i could remember all shows all specials, GEORGE CARLIN woke me up!!!!!, think of what he says if you talk about aliens and what not people regard you as a nutcase or whatever,but talk religion and o watch out... go watch some george stuff then look up alex jones documentaries on changedachannel you tube channel, this is what george saw and tried to tell people in his shows.
George Carlin had a tendency to exaggerate in order to make his jokes funnier. There is some truth to what he said but he was definitely an extremist and an exaggerator. In fact, only about 25% of the things he said were true and 75% were exaggerations (in order to get people's attention.) But he believed in what he said as he was an extremist. Everything was either black or white to him, but nothing was in between. He was a sensasionalist and used sensasionalism to get people's attention.
@kamretnas Yeah, an extremist that used words instead of physically attacking religion. Show some fucking respect for someone who wasn't scared of speaking his mind. I hate when people belittle an artist in saying their success was based on selling something false when actually, their success was based on people enjoying the truth and someone standing up to power hungry bullshitters. It's like people who call Jim Carrey's talent "acting like an idiot for laughs" as if there's no talend involved.
@kamretnas At least one point in a joke is exaggerated for fun in comedy, even Carlin mentioned that in one of his shows. He knew that his views were unusual, pessimistic, misanthropic, and very radical; but he was very sensible and truthful with his opinions and beliefs. Honesty isn't sensationalism for attention, falsehood and deception is. He was straightforward sincere, and that's why people love him. For not showing hypocrisy and pretense, and for showing reason, brilliance and laughter.
That question was soo on point that Seinfeld ended up questioning the question. Lol. This is life. One way or another the masses will believe in the lies and there will only be a few with the actual brain capacity to think for themselves. The masses will fall because they only listen everyone else in the masses and could never comprehend the power of one human mind. Much less combining intellect to create a better world for all of us. Carlin I said this many a time, but R.I.P.
@Yamakashi1 It's unintelligible as far as I can hear.. Seinfeld mumbles it too softly for me to make it out but I would assume it's negative against King. I don't think Seinfeld likes King very much.
I believe Seinfeld said, "That's something, you know?" I think Seinfeld was still taking in being given that compliment by Carlin in the video King showed.
@mapscannotcontainme well the sound is merging with king saying "from bill in" and what seinfeld is saying sounds like the same tone,its very similar. it's not a whole sentence "That's something, you know" doesnt fit.
OK. My last guess is that he is saying"...so I'm here now." I've played it about twenty times in a row and that's the most solid guess I can come up with. It would fit with what Seinfeld was saying too...being that he missed Carlin complimenting him on King, but he's on King now to pay tribute in remember Carlin. If that doesn't work then I'm all out of guesses. It's either "That's something, you know" or "so I'm here now." I think it's the latter.
Well first u have context of the convo and second is the actual mouth movements and sound. What im hearing for sure is the second or third word is "now"(ur 2nd guess) , it might be "somebody you know" (ur first guess) , but it sounds more like "it's ---- now" maybe "it's on bill now" ,but it sounds like "bill" cos that's what king is saying. i dun even know why im playin fbi mouth-reader /or w/e that proffesion is called. rofl.
What Jerry is missing and/or leaving out is how George Carlin didn't think of himself as just a comedian, but more of a rebel who happened to use comedy as his weapon. There were several opportunities to express this during the interview; Jerry didn't seize that opportunity.
Holy hell im actually crying ... he will be missed. lets keep his ideas flowing everybody... take a hit and pass it off to the next gens... respect GC.
I was wondering that too. It seemed like he was getting a little choked up watching all the videos of carlin and he didn't want to see or hear them at the time. That's just a guess though
Haha, George Carlin wasn't worried about dying in the very least. I say have fun in hell if that where he went, I'll bet ten to one that satan is laughing his ass off.
@ZEITGEISTism Whatever you say, faggot. Your mother and I have been discussing your mouth, and we feel it's time you learned to shut it! You're grounded for two weeks, no internet allowed!
When you surface, we need to discuss you getting out of the basement and moving on with your life.
Shut up you imbecile ...You assume to much (Im a hetrosexual female & DONT live with my mummy so.... Tough ! ) Hey whats that noise ? Oh its just your parole officer coming to throw your ass back in jail for once again violating your parole ya Bloody loser (get ur shit together
@ZEITGEISTism For an alleged "heterosexual female" you sure sound a lot like a dyke... I'm just sayin'.
Now how about less talk, and more make me a fucking sandwich. I'm actually planning to visit Switzerland later on next year, so I'll expect my home cooked meal waiting at the airport.
You need to shut your bitch mouth, and learn that when you go around picking fights, some people fight back.
lol I sound like a dyke ? ha ha oh well better that , than sounding like a bitter twisted ol faggot like YOU !
ps
Dont bother coming to my country lol customs will probably deny you entry anyway (on the grounds of your filthy mouth.... too much contamination spewing out of it ..We like to keep things clean here ! )
pps
You started this fight, when you disrespected George Carlin AND Im gonna finish it ...So YOU shut your bitch mouth ...(or I will shut it for you ! )
@ZEITGEISTism Yap-yap sayeth the cunt! Pardon me, prostitute, but I may be in need of your services whilst I'm enjoying my stay in your country, still charging 2 francs per session?
My filthy mouth? Hmm, defending George Carlin and attaching negative connotations towards the use of bad language is quite the paradox.
In all seriousness I'm a big fan of the Swiss. Other than my country, you guys are the only ones who defend the rights of citizens to own firearms. But you're still a bitch.
Ah Shut you Aides ridden pathetic little faggot You're in danger of boring the hell outta me
PS
LOL ...You dont know shit about my country ! You typical trailer trash redneck that was dragged up not raised up Stay the fuck out of my country We dont want scum like you here (We have very strong enviromental programs...... No pollution allowed ! ... Human or otherwise )
Foolish me ! After all ,,,,........" Talk sense to a FOOL and they will call you foolish "
( Euripides )
ps
Im done talking to a fool like you! Consider all your future responses automatically deleted by me! Shame on me for stooping to your level (the gutter )
@ZEITGEISTism Awww, sweetie! Not giving up already are you? Admitting that you're a fool is a very strong first step towards capitulation.
I'd really love to meet you when I'm in town, baby ; ). Don't worry about the fact that you're a little old for me, I'd totally bang a 46 year old woman such as yourself.
A young man came into his father's study one day and asked him, "Father, what is a cunt?" His father thought a moment, opened a drawer on his desk and pulled out a Playboy magazine. Spreading out the centerfold, he took a pen and drew a circle around the playmate's crotch and said, "son, this is a vagina, everything outside of the circle is a cunt".
I left you a little message on your channel, old woman ; )
I would have expected someone smart like Jerry Seinfeld to have a better answer to the e-mail question, like "Politicians tell you what you want to hear, and comedians dont". Yeah its a generic go to answer, but its still true.
"Who dies at 70 anymore" was funny though, and Larry King actually seemed happy at 2:35 to be able to show Seinfeld that clip of Carlin complimenting Jerry...
Funny... Carlin spoke about things people say when someone dies..."...I was just talking to him...well it didn't do him any good, it's almost as though the act you you talking to him sped up the process..."
No, Seinfeld isn't Skeletor, whatever that means. At the time, he had just lost a good friend and besides dealing with that, he wanted to pay a respectful, worthy homage to Carlin on international TV. There's a time and a place for silly humor.. A wake or a funeral isn't it and this interview in the televised memorial equivalent.
I love Jerry and I love George Carlin! Have just discovered Carlin and I am rapt about him.
Those cretins who feel the need to criticize Jerry - I wish they would go outside and find a piece of dog shit and express their views about that, and leave humanity alone.
Seinfeld is good, yet he satirizes a small portion of life. Carlin did it all "the English language, the small stuff, and the big stuff like god, religion, death, war, politics, love, earth and the meaning of life"
OK, so what else is there? Carlin was so prolific because he laughed at absolutely everything, so his material was infinite. Jerry did say this right: "He is one of the untouchable giants of comedy".
Jerry should have just said, in response to the email question, the truth hurts.... its worse when its right there in your face and george threw it at you, hardball...no underhand.
i want to answer the question that the viewer had, the answer to that is because, politicians are there and they say things just to make people fee good so people will accept our governments bullshit because they're makin you think they're helpin you, but when carlin comes and tells the truth most people hate him cause most people cant accept that our government doesnt give a fuck about us.
Comedians tell the truth, but they lie in order to tell it - that's what he was trying to say. They'll say something happened to them that is hilariously true and a great observation of life, but it probably didn't actually happen to them.
"because the media prefers Jewish point of views. remember who owns the media?"
Well Ted Turner started this particular station. We've got George Soros over at MSNBC and Rupert Murdoch at Fox. Only one of them is Jewish, so I don't quite get your point.
This whole interview is awkward....Larry King is useless, I can't believe he gets paid for this. His reserach is poor, he doesn't ask good questions, he doesn't build on responses. Sheesh.
The job of a politician is to tell people what they want to hear, and if not, to make things as palatable as possible; the job of a comedian is to tell the truth, and to say the unsayable.
"The job of the comedian is to find where that line is, and then to deliberately cross it." - George Carlin
Jerry contradicts himself. He starts off by saying that you know exactly what a comedian means when he says something whereas politicians are vague. But then he says comedians speak with a kernel of truth and a lot of lies spun around it.
erm, he was making a joke about comedians themselves in a sense how ironic that comedians might tell the truth, but really they have a seed of truth then everything else is just stuff they come up with for their routines.
Yes but the lies spun around it are the humor that you find from other peoples experiences and what you may have observed but not actually done. Whereas what a politician has actually done is much more important than saying what the people want to hear.
Jerry was very emotional in this and I don't think Larry King really got it. Larry's too close to death himself to care. Someone here said Larry was doing his shtick and that's exactly right. The man has been pure shtick for years if not decades. That's why so many influential people are willing to do his show. They know there will be no surprises. Kind of like a Presidential debate.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Seinfeld = HACK. What a pathetic display this interview was. Rosane...ROSANE!!! She is OK but her only connection to Carlin was that she interviewed him once.??? I wanted hear more from his family members.
George Carlin is one of those man I wish would live forever and just come out with HBO specials... hehe... no.. i really hope so in a non-corny way...
Man, Jerry was really pissed that day. Larry was trying to make the conversation funny and it just wasn't the right thing to do. Not when the inspiration of every modern comedian has just died.
Man. I wish I was older. Old enough to have went and paid for one of his shows :/

@ZEITGEISTism For an alleged "heterosexual female" you sure sound a lot like a dyke... I'm just sayin'.
Now how about less talk, and more make me a fucking sandwich. I'm actually planning to visit Switzerland later on next year, so I'll expect my home cooked meal waiting at the airport.
You need to shut your bitch mouth, and learn that when you go around picking fights, some people fight back.

My filthy mouth? Hmm, defending George Carlin and attaching negative connotations towards the use of bad language is quite the paradox.
In all seriousness I'm a big fan of the Swiss. Other than my country, you guys are the only ones who defend the rights of citizens to own firearms. But you're still a bitch.

You remind me of a story;
A young man came into his father's study one day and asked him, "Father, what is a cunt?" His father thought a moment, opened a drawer on his desk and pulled out a Playboy magazine. Spreading out the centerfold, he took a pen and drew a circle around the playmate's crotch and said, "son, this is a vagina, everything outside of the circle is a cunt".
I left you a little message on your channel, old woman ; )

I would have expected someone smart like Jerry Seinfeld to have a better answer to the e-mail question, like "Politicians tell you what you want to hear, and comedians dont". Yeah its a generic go to answer, but its still true.
"Who dies at 70 anymore" was funny though, and Larry King actually seemed happy at 2:35 to be able to show Seinfeld that clip of Carlin complimenting Jerry...

No, Seinfeld isn't Skeletor, whatever that means. At the time, he had just lost a good friend and besides dealing with that, he wanted to pay a respectful, worthy homage to Carlin on international TV. There's a time and a place for silly humor.. A wake or a funeral isn't it and this interview in the televised memorial equivalent.

Those cretins who feel the need to criticize Jerry - I wish they would go outside and find a piece of dog shit and express their views about that, and leave humanity alone.
Your views are about as good as dog shit.

Seinfeld is good, yet he satirizes a small portion of life. Carlin did it all "the English language, the small stuff, and the big stuff like god, religion, death, war, politics, love, earth and the meaning of life"
OK, so what else is there? Carlin was so prolific because he laughed at absolutely everything, so his material was infinite. Jerry did say this right: "He is one of the untouchable giants of comedy".

i want to answer the question that the viewer had, the answer to that is because, politicians are there and they say things just to make people fee good so people will accept our governments bullshit because they're makin you think they're helpin you, but when carlin comes and tells the truth most people hate him cause most people cant accept that our government doesnt give a fuck about us.

Comedians tell the truth, but they lie in order to tell it - that's what he was trying to say. They'll say something happened to them that is hilariously true and a great observation of life, but it probably didn't actually happen to them.
superman11978 2 years ago 2
I remember watching this the day it aired. I asked myself, 'why Seinfeld'?
Don't get me wrong, I like his act, but I don't see any Carlin influence in it, unless your talking exclusively about George's observationist side.
His influence on Lewis Black and Bill Maher is much more obvious.

Seinfeld is a coward when it comes to his comments about the public and politicians. (That's why he can't give an honest answer to King about Carlin)
He is nothing like Carlin regarding their respective routines.
BTW... I love the "Seinfeld" TV show and own the entire DVD collection

nzrecords 2 years ago
The job of a politician is to tell people what they want to hear, and if not, to make things as palatable as possible; the job of a comedian is to tell the truth, and to say the unsayable.
"The job of the comedian is to find where that line is, and then to deliberately cross it." - George Carlin

Jerry contradicts himself. He starts off by saying that you know exactly what a comedian means when he says something whereas politicians are vague. But then he says comedians speak with a kernel of truth and a lot of lies spun around it.
Not exactly the best philosopher ever.
highwind8124 3 years ago
erm, he was making a joke about comedians themselves in a sense how ironic that comedians might tell the truth, but really they have a seed of truth then everything else is just stuff they come up with for their routines.
TheArthen 3 years ago 4
Yes but the lies spun around it are the humor that you find from other peoples experiences and what you may have observed but not actually done. Whereas what a politician has actually done is much more important than saying what the people want to hear.
GuineaJay 3 years ago
Jerry was very emotional in this and I don't think Larry King really got it. Larry's too close to death himself to care. Someone here said Larry was doing his shtick and that's exactly right. The man has been pure shtick for years if not decades. That's why so many influential people are willing to do his show. They know there will be no surprises. Kind of like a Presidential debate.
