On this day, May 12th, in 1937, George Denis Patrick Carlin was born in Manhattan.
George Carlin was a stand-up comedian, who worked the stand-up circuit, on television, film, books, and radio, and is perhaps best remembered for his "Seven Dirty Words" (that the FCC will not permit to be said) routine, and his comparison of "Baseball vs. Football". His routines were noted for their dark humor mixed with politics, oddities of the English language, psychology, religion, and other subjects that were, and are considered taboo.
George Carlin died on June 22, 2008 in Santa Monica, California of heart failure. He had a long history of cardiac troubles, including three heart attacks, the first in 1978.
