Cheers: By George, Saturday Night Live's Got It

Cheers to Saturday Night Live for paying tribute to George Carlin by reairing the show's debut episode, which the comic hosted in 1975. Watching it again reminded me how the SNL host's job has evolved: Carlin blessedly didn't have to dress up in silly costumes for sketches. He simply did four expert stand-up routines. It also made me realize how brave Lorne Michaels was to put Carlin on the air as his opening act — after he'd been arrested for his "Seven Dirty Words You Can't Say on TV." And it gave me a renewed appreciation for Carlin's fearless versatility, joking about topics from the sublime ("Everything God has ever made died... he's batting .000!") to the ridiculous (the timeless football/baseball bit). He may not have believed in an afterlife, but Carlin's comedy will live long after his death.• Share your own raves and rants about other shows on the Reader Cheers & Jeers discussion board.• We may feature your Cheer or Jeer on TVGuide.com or in TV Guide mag... read more

Live Again: SNL Re-airing Carlin's 1975 Appearance

NBC will rebroadcast George Carlin's 1975 Saturday Night Live appearance this weekend (11:30 pm/ET).Carlin — who died earlier this week at the age of 71 — hosted the very first episode. Executive producer Lorne Michaels credits him with giving the show some early momentum. "You never forget the people who were there at the beginning," he said. "George Carlin helped give Saturday Night Live its start as our first host. He was gracious, fearless, and most important of all, funny."The episode also features musical guests Janis Ian and Billy Preston and includes a perfomance by comedian Andy Kaufman. — J.R. WhalenDid you know?: In its earliest days, the show was called NBC's Saturday Night because ABC was already airing Saturday Night Live with Howard Cosell. NBC retitled their show once Cosell was cancelled by ABC in January of 1976. read more

Legendary Comedian George Carlin Dies

Comedian George Carlin, best known for his edgy routines brimming with dirty words, died Sunday of heart failure in Los Angeles at the age of 71. Carlin became a comedic icon in the '70s with his infamous "Seven Words You Can Never Say on Televsion" routine which we think is the best video to serve as a tribute to the potty-mouthed master. And as if it wasn't obvious enough, we'll still say it: Contains Adult Language. read more

Comedian George Carlin Is Dead at 71

Comedian and counter-culture hero George Carlin died Sunday of heart failure in Los Angeles. He was 71. Famed for his anti-establishment stance and routines involving dirty words and drug themes, Carlin had a history of drug abuse and dependency. He was admitted to St. John's Health Center in Santa Monica for chest pains in the afternoon, and died at approximately 6 pm.Carlin achieved icon status for his 1970s routine, "Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television." His edgy material and use of some of those "dirty" words on the radio sparked a 1978 FCC lawsuit. The court ruled in the government's favor, charging Carlin with indecency and allowing regulators to ban the use of certain words on the radio when they thought children might be listening. Along with his comedic legacy, Carlin is also survived by his wife Sally Wade and daughter Kelly Carlin McCall. — Anna DimondUse our Online Video Guide to see some of Carlin's routines and appearances.Related• VIDEO: Watch Carlin... read more
