George Carlin: 40 Years of Comedy

A relaxed, funny stroll through a long career, mixing sharp stand-up with affectionate clips and easy conversation.

Overview

George Carlin: 40 Years of Comedy is comedian George Carlin's tenth HBO special. It was broadcast live from the Wheeler Theater in Aspen, Colorado, as part of the US Comedy Arts Festival. Unlike Carlin's other stand-up specials, this contains only 27 minutes of stand-up performance. The rest is a retrospective celebrating Carlin's 40th anniversary in entertainment with clips of his television appearances and an interview with the host Jon Stewart. Some of Carlin's material was repeated in his next special, You Are All Diseased.
