George Carlin's 1975 Saturday Night Live airs this weekend
Some news I just ran across.
 Wouldn't want anyone who'd like to see it to miss it. -- NBC'S "SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE" REMEMBERS GEORGE CARLIN THIS WEEKEND "SNL" Honors Legendary Comedian George Carlin, Re-Airing Its 1975 Premiere Episode with Carlin as Host NEW YORK June 24, 2008 As hilarious and heartfelt tributes pour in marking the passing of groundbreaking comedian George Carlin, "Saturday Night Live" pays tribute on Saturday, June 28 (11:30 p.m.-1:00 a.m. ET), re-airing its premiere episode that featured Carlin as host. Remembering Carlin, "Saturday Night Live" creator and executive producer Lorne Michaels noted: "You never forget the people who were there at the beginning. George Carlin helped give 'Saturday Night Live' its start as our first host. He was gracious, fearless, and most important of all, funny." Typifying the show's "of-the-moment" sensibility that would continue throughout its over thirty-year history, Carlin was brought in as the first host of the groundbreaking comedy show. Carlin performed three individual monologues on the program that also introduced audiences to the now legendary "Not Ready For Prime-Time Players" Dan Aykroyd, John Belushi, Chevy Chase, Jane Curtin, Garrett Morris, Larraine Newman and Gilda Radner. The 1975 episode also features musical guests Janis Ian and Billy Preston as well as a landmark performance from comedian Andy Kaufman. --

Me too. I won't miss it. Gotta set the PVR.
I didn't realize that this was Andy Kaufman's time. I thought he was a bit later. I was just reading Steve Martins book (Born Standing Up) and I was getting confused about all the time lines. Did you realize it has been almost 30 years since The Jerk? Also, SNL was first called NBC's Saturday Night because Howard Cosell had a show with the "Live" moniker? Shit, I am way closer to 50 than 40. Time sure flies. Time for another class of wine! |

I just found out tonight that HBO is running some Carlin tributes as well running all of his HBO specials.
Don't know the particulars and unfortunately don't have HBO...that might have to change. |

Nice one Simon. Thanks for the heads up. I can't wait to see it
Thursday night I watched the last half of a marathon on HBO. So I'm ready for this one.
