#6: George Carlin

On Finding the Funny this month, we covered stand-up comedian Geroge Carlin. Anyone familiar with him will remember his infamous monologue "Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television" (this, of course, back in 1972). We looked into Carlin's life until his death in 2008; a man widely regarded as one of the most important and influential stand-up comedians and placed second on the Comedy Central list of the 100 greatest stand-up comedians, ahead of Lenny Bruce and behind Richard Pryor.
