George Carlin

George Dennis Carlin (born May 12, 1937 in New York City) is a Grammy winning Irish American ("I used to be Irish Catholic, now I'm an American. Y'know: you grow.") stand-up comedian, actor, and author, noted especially for his irreverent attitude and his observations on language and religion. He is considered by many to be a worthy successor to the late Lenny Bruce.
