Poor guy got no respect. It was pretty sad.
Seriously, though. I saw his standup for the first time several years ago. I think this was from the early 80s on Carson and the dude was lit. I only knew him from movies and his general schtick. I'd never seen his timing and delivery. He was great.

6 0 ReplyBack to School, definitely. Well, not really badmouth, but I thought it was fairly mediocre.
But really I meant to praise his standup and say his movies didn't do him justice. He was just funnier when doing his own material

There are an amazing number of Carson clips on YouTube. Lots of very cool moments and people coming together you wouldn't expect.
The only time I think you will ever see George Carlin and Richard Pryor on TV together was when they were on Carson.
