HBO Tribute To George Carlin
Posted by Shane on Monday, June 23, 2008 at 6:49 pm
HBO will be airing a tribute to George Carlin, who passed away at age 71.
“Because HBO has had such a long and close relationship with George Carlin, his passing is like losing one of our own. George had been a part of HBO almost since its beginning, performing his first concert for us in 1977, and his fourteenth special just earlier this year. No performer was more important to helping our network define itself in its early years. And no performer was more committed to the ideal of freedom of speech, a principle he embodied for the 50 years he performed with his trademark wit. We will miss his humor and his righteous comic anger, and we will simply miss him.”
