Voted Comedy Central's Top 10 Comedian
George Carlin (1937-2008) was an American provocateur, stand-up comedian, actor, author, and incisive social critic.
He was noted for his black comedy and reflections on American life, the English language, religion, psychology, and various taboo subjects.
He and his "seven dirty words" comedy routine were central to the 1978 U.S. Supreme Court case F.C.C. vs. Pacifica Foundation, in which a 5-4 decision affirmed the government's power to regulate indecent material on the public airwaves.
Carlin is widely regarded as one of the most important and influential stand-up comics.
One newspaper called him "the dean of counterculture comedians" (George Carlin, counterculture comedians' dean, dies, The Plain Dealer, Cleveland, Ohio).
In April 2004, he placed second on the Comedy Central list of "Top 10 Comedians of US Audiences."
