George Carlin To Get Honored.
Funny man George Carlin is going to finally get the honor he deserves. The late comedian who was famous for those “Seven Words You Can Never Say on TV” - will be honored Monday night with the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor…a prize Carlin felt was the ONLY comedic award worth receiving.
“He would have been humbly grateful,” Jerry Hamza, Carlin’s longtime manager and best friend told The AP. “Also George, who throughout his career was perceived as an outsider or maverick, had a real desire to connect with other comedians. He loved being in that club.”
Comedians Jon Stewart, Lily Tomlin and Joan Rivers are lined up to perform at the awards ceremony.
It’s too bad George couldn’t be there physically to receive this honor. RIP Georgie.
