George Carlin awarded Mark Twain Prize last night

I had a great time at the Kennedy Center last night. There were some great guests! Jon Stewart, Bill Maher, Joan Rivers, Lewis Black, Lily Tomlin, and others. The show will be aired on PBS on April 1, 2009.

One of my favorite clips they played in honor George was him singing Cherry Pie on the Arsenio Hall Show, November 30, 1989. First 5 minutes is Carlin talking about Rhythm and Blues in the early 50's ... then his performance starts at about 5 minutes in.


Another tribute that will have you in tears is Stephen's Colbert's Tonight's Word "Bleep" - where his does a skit about the 7 dirty words....
