George Carlin has entertained generations of Americans. He starred in several movies, wrote a popular book, "Brain Droppings," appeared in several television series and was a guest 135 times on legendary talk show host Johnny Carson's Tonight show. But George Carlin will be best remembered as a wise and witty stand-up comedian.
George Carlin's notoriety from the "seven dirty words" incident helped make him one of the highest-paid comedians in the 1970's. In the 1990's, Mr. Carlin starred in his own situation comedy, which lasted one season, and provided the voice of a train conductor in the children's series "Shining Time." But he told the Washington audience he was, most of all, a comedian - an art form of which he was proud.
