# Adios George Carlin ...

It’s always sad to lose a member of the **entertainment **industry, especially one whose satirical and colorful humor aims to open the eyes of his audience about what is considered to be taboo subjects.

Here’s the latest post from [Blog.Wired.Com](https://www.wired.com/2008/06/comedian-george/):

**George Carlin**, a searing comic who pushed the boundaries of language and culture with his classic "**Seven Words You Can Never Say On TV**" routine, **died **Sunday of **heart failure**. He was 71.

Born in May 12, 1937, George was also an **actor **and an **author**. **Comedy Central** called this **Grammy **award-winning stand-up comic as the ‘second greatest stand-up comedian of all time”, along the lines of Richard Pryor and Lenny Bruce.

He made more than a hundred appearances in the **Tonight Show** when it was still hosted by the late **Johnny Carson**. George also had the distinctive honor of being the first **comedian **to host **Saturday Night Live**.

His colorful career in the entertainment industry was highlighted by several movies, 14 **HBO **specials and 5 books, the first of which is the highly entertaining “**Sometimes a Little Brain Damage Can Help**”, published in 1984.

George is survived by his second wife **Sally Wade** and daughter **Kelly Carlin McCall**.
