George Carlin Gets the Last Word

George Carlin just had to get the Last Word, which is rather fitting for one of the most outspoken comics in history. His epic rants and legendary ‘Seven Words You Can’t Say on Television’ made him one of the most well known comedians in history.

In 1993 George Carlin asked his friend, and former National Lampoon editor Tony Hendra to help him write his autobiography. For almost fifteen years, in scores of conversations, many of them recorded, the two discussed Carlin’s life. When Carlin died at age seventy-one in June 2008 with the book still unpublished, Hendra set out to assemble it as his friend would have wanted. Last Words is the result. Check out the video, audio and contest. We are lucky enough to have a few copies of the book to give away, so play with us on bookface and the ever so popular twitter.
