We apologize for being late on this, but we just found this quote from Penn on the death of George Carlin…
“Everything we’ve done tries to be the kind of truth-telling Carlin did. He was the best at that. That you would stand onstage and it would be called ‘comedy,’ to do a philosophical discussion and look into your heart, the idea that that’s called comedy is an American invention. You would go see George Carlin and laugh until you almost swallowed your nose. Take that, plus his philosophy and truth, and you can’t beat it.”
Remember, Carlin appeared at in Penn’s naughty joke documentary The Aristocrats. This was literally the ONLY clip of Carlin we could find that we felt comfortable posting.
He will be missed…
