Hi there. On Sunday, one of the great talents of comedy was stricken and died. George Carlin checked into St. Paul's Medical Center, in Santa Monica, California, where he succumbed to a heart attack. He
had survived three heart attacks in the past. Mr. Carlin was 71 years old, he is survived by his wife and daughter.
Mr. Carlin in his younger days, was a member of the
Air Force.
Mr. Carlin was the first host of Saturday Night Live,
in 1975. He released 22 comedy albums, wrote three books, and won two Grammy Awards.
HBO was his biggest success, in 21 years, he had 14 stand-up specials. The last, It's Bad for Ya, aired in March. This year, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, announced, that it was going to honor Mr. Carlin, with the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. The prize was going to be presented on November 10, in a televised tribute performance.
Mr. Carlin was considered to be the successor, to groundbreaking comic Lenny Bruce.
Mr. Carlin was admitted to the hospital Sunday, complaining of chest pains, he died at 9 p.m. EST.
Mr. Carlin's special wit and humor, will be missed by many, many people. His famous seven words, you cannot say on television, was a favorite rendition for him. The entertainment community, has lost a star.

Disappearing darkness and clouds,
Moving out, to some other place.
No longer hovering, over your home.
Or taking up space, where you dwell,
Leaving you free, of troubling thought.
Making your day, less filled with pity or shame.
Go, take up residence, in another town,
Where those you stalk, do not mind,
The deary casting of shadows, drab.
Let your spirits lift up, as they soar.
For time is short, and your life,
Should be, much more carefree.
