Of course, it ends in a murder when somebody doesn’t follow the rules — kinda like a sketch thought up by a 5-year-old and scripted by an immature older sibling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another sketch features Schumer as a contestant on an unscripted dating show, asked to re-record things she said on camera that weren’t completely captured by the microphone in the moment. When Schumer’s character realizes she said stuff like she hopes her competitors get COVID and “the Jews are trying to replace us,” she rethinks her participation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The takeaway — that dating shows are built around encouraging people to behave badly in ways they regret later — is obvious and not necessarily worth a full-on sketch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdpEi7vIsgg\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Reality dating shows are bad for women,” Schumer says, speaking to the camera after the sketch ends. “They’re bad for men. And I will watch them all until I die.” It’s a great line; I just wish the sketch had explored the idea a little better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moments where Schumer or another performer speak to the camera after the sketch ends, adding a bit more context or another funny line, happen often (in the original series, Schumer would drop similar observations in a nightclub setting in front of an audience, like she was midway through a standup comedy set).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unfortunately, in the new series, such asides come close to the biggest cardinal sin in comedy: explaining a joke after you’ve already let it fly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shorter sketches fared better — like a bit where Michael Ian Black plays an obnoxious pitchman selling products which make women feel terrible about their bodies, like Spanx for the shower or Skinny Girl coffins.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XY6T2bA755M\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And a public service announcement for Colorado that hints women might want to travel there to get a certain unnamed procedure done that has been banned in other states after a Supreme Court decision, captured the growing desperation of our times, unfolding behind a TV host’s tight smile.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UtXIhTRFLk\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s some cool cameos from stars like Olivia Wilde, Ellie Kemper and Bridget Everett. But other than brief appearances \u003cem>Grey’s Anatomy \u003c/em>alum Jesse Williams and performer/writer Yamaneika Saunders, Schumer’s lineup of onscreen collaborators seem dominated by white folks, which is an odd look for 2022.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Humor is an incredibly subjective arena, so I’m sure lots of Schumer’s fans will enjoy her return to sketch comedy more than I did. But much of the new material here felt undone by a lack of execution — intriguing ideas that just didn’t blossom past the initial set-up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13920534']It’s been six years since \u003cem>Inside Amy Schumer \u003c/em>originally aired on Comedy Central — that the revived show is on streamer Paramount+ instead of its original home tells you a lot about how media has changed in that time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a fan of the original series, I loved how Schumer found comedy in jarring sketches with a message — like a scene showing a woman \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXGJGuH59qw\">playing a shoot-em-up video game \u003c/a>who finds her onscreen character forced to deal with how the military mishandles sexual assault, sending up both gamer culture and a real-life scandal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is nothing that insightful or subversive in the two episodes of \u003cem>Inside Amy Schumer\u003c/em> I previewed. But three more episodes are coming, so there’s hope Schumer amps up the execution and gives us the kind of cutting, insightful comedy we need, at a moment when the absurdity and oppression of real life threatens to overshadow anything a satirist can put on TV.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2022 NPR.

The show incorporated his facility with accents and impressions; when he began recording the program from home during the pandemic lockdowns, they added jokes with graphic images superimposed on his face that have continued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even his discussions with the audience during commercial breaks were turned into \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5uhh5cmwlI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">an online feature\u003c/a> called “Between the Scenes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His profile was growing outside of the show as well.

In his first episode as host, Noah joked about reports that better-known celebrities like Chris Rock had turned down the job by cracking “once more, a job Americans rejected, is now being done by an immigrant.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of my favorite early bits of his was a commentary comparing Donald Trump, then an outlandish candidate for president, to some of the more infamous African presidents, like Uganda’s Idi Amin and Zimbabwe’s Robert Mugabe—in some cases, showing how they use the exact same words to brag about themselves and put down rivals.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/mt9QtHHx-9M'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/mt9QtHHx-9M'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>He even remixed the show’s theme song, \u003ca href=\"https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/timbaland-new-version-daily-show-theme-song-6835199/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">debuting a new take\u003c/a> produced by Timbaland and King Logan in early 2016, amping up the rock flavor and adding a percolating, club-friendly beat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jon Stewart had turned \u003cem>The Daily Show\u003c/em> into a serious player by grounding the show’s humor in real news events, pointing out the radicalization of the Republican party, the hypocrisy of the Democratic party and the cluelessness of news media which too often failed to expose either.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

So I don’t really have a reason to be in L.A. right now. You know, like I remember when I finally… I booked a national commercial right? And I was like, I’ve made it. \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I’m going to buy my mom a Ferrari and I’m going to move to L.A.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Pen: \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Off of one commercial.\u003c/span>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joshua: \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Exactly. So I made a cool little penny. But when I was out there, I was doing a lot of the same things that I was doing in the Bay, which is just waiting for an audition. Sending in a self-tape [audition], you know, you don’t really even get the audition in person, I guess, until round two or three? \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Depending on, you know, how big of a production they are, you know, stuff like that. So I was like, you know what, until I have to come back to L.A. and do work there, then I’ll just stay out here. And [it’s] a little bit easier on the pockets.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I think the cultures are very different: there’s social media and then there’s the film and TV industry. I think how you’re seen is very, very different, you know what I mean? \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Because I feel like, there is the method that, you know, you’re just sending in your self-tape, you’re auditioning. But we’re in a different day and age now, to where you can be somewhat in control of your destiny, like you don’t have to wait around. And I think that instead of reaching out to Hollywood, it’s a little better to have Hollywood reach out to you, now. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">You know, there’s a lot of people that go to actor’s school. They do their … what is it called, their showcase. And there’s agents that come there and they get picked up straight from that, you know what I mean? \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">But for those of us who I would say kind of don’t want to sit still … Then it’s the best way to market yourself, brand yourself, make a living and have them go, “Oh, we think this guy will be good for this” because when they approach you in an audition opportunity, they have an idea already of who you are, and kind of like the part that you will fit. So it kind of gives you a little extra advantage… Until Michael B. Jordan comes in and then it’s all over!\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Pen: I asked Joshua what his goal would be if he were to make super stardom like Issa Rae, who also carved out her path through a web series. And whether he would try to help other people in his community get past some of the Hollywood gatekeeping. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joshua: \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">You know, for people, you know who aren’t Black, not a person of color, it’s kind of like the opportunity is everywhere, it’s been there. So there’s not as much pressure to put people on because they’re already on or going to get on. It’s very easy. Versus one of us makes it out of thousands? We’re all going to say like, “Oh, please, yo, I mean like, you got to.” \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">We feel like you’re obligated to because of the fact that it’s rare for one of us to make it as big as Issa Rae. You know what I’m saying? And I’m pretty sure she feels as pressured to sometimes to be like oh I have to do it, because if you don’t, who else is? There’ll be another Issa Rae thirty years from now. \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Being a black man in America, especially a Black artist, there is the lack of opportunities. So if I get lucky and blessed enough to get to this level of whatever stardom, whatever you want to call it, and I have this access of managers and agents and casting directors and people that I can “put on,” I’m going to do so. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Joshua: Sometimes I feel like people can maybe look at social media people as like they got it made and stuff. When really I don’t, personally. \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">So I like to, you know, just bring it down to earth sometimes, let people know that it’s like, yo, or I’m still trying to figure it out. I’m 32, I live with my parents. You know, things just started taking off for me and my acting career a year and a half ago, you know, and I’m still trying to make it.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sometimes I think it’s important to just let people know, like, we’re really all in this together. We’re really all trying to figure it out. Sometimes things aren’t what they seem, you know what I’m saying? So I just put that in there every now and then. \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">And I know I can sound so phony, [but] he battle really is within yourself.\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> It really is. You’re your hardest critic. You’re always going to say, “this isn’t funny. That’s not going to do it. That’s not going to… ” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">You don’t know that! Do it first, then find out. \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">There’s nothing to be worried about right now. There’s no failure. So make something, because it could be the greatest thing someone’s ever seen. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12127869\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"78\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-400x39.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-768x75.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>Rightnowish is an arts and culture podcast produced at KQED.

You know what I’m saying? And I’m pretty sure she feels as pressured to sometimes to be like oh I have to do it, because if you don’t, who else is? There’ll be another Issa Rae thirty years from now. \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Being a black man in America, especially a Black artist, there is the lack of opportunities. So if I get lucky and blessed enough to get to this level of whatever stardom, whatever you want to call it, and I have this access of managers and agents and casting directors and people that I can “put on,” I’m going to do so. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Joshua: Sometimes I feel like people can maybe look at social media people as like they got it made and stuff. When really I don’t, personally. \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">So I like to, you know, just bring it down to earth sometimes, let people know that it’s like, yo, or I’m still trying to figure it out. I’m 32, I live with my parents. You know, things just started taking off for me and my acting career a year and a half ago, you know, and I’m still trying to make it.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sometimes I think it’s important to just let people know, like, we’re really all in this together. We’re really all trying to figure it out. Sometimes things aren’t what they seem, you know what I’m saying? So I just put that in there every now and then. \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">And I know I can sound so phony, [but] he battle really is within yourself.\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> It really is. You’re your hardest critic. You’re always going to say, “this isn’t funny. That’s not going to do it. That’s not going to… ” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">You don’t know that! Do it first, then find out. \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">There’s nothing to be worried about right now. There’s no failure. So make something, because it could be the greatest thing someone’s ever seen. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12127869\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"78\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-400x39.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-768x75.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>Rightnowish is an arts and culture podcast produced at KQED.

"headTitle": "‘George Carlin’s American Dream’ is Revelatory, Motivational and—Yes—Very Funny | KQED",
"content": "\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0031976/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Judd Apatow\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0094397/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Michael Bonfiglio\u003c/a>’s new HBO documentary about George Carlin feels incredibly relevant. Since Samuel Alito’s draft decision on Roe v. Wade leaked, Carlin’s commentary about abortion (“They’re not pro-life, they’re anti-woman”) has, yet again, gone viral on social media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/thetonymichaels/status/1521303464327929857\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Watching \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://www.hbo.com/george-carlins-american-dream\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">George Carlin’s American Dream\u003c/a>\u003c/em> though, what strikes you over and over again is that a Carlin documentary feels timely in 2022 because it would have felt timely at pretty much any point over the last 20 years. It would have been meaningful in 2017 because of tiki torch Nazis. (“When fascism comes to America,” the comedian once said, “it won’t wear jack boots and brown shirts, it’ll have on a smiling face and a T-shirt and designer jeans.”) It would have felt suited to 2020 because of Carlin’s searing commentary on police brutality in the ’80s and ’90s. His 1992 material on the first Gulf War is applicable to every conflict the United States has been involved with this century.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13911949']The examples of just how many things Carlin got right and/or predicted over the course of his nearly 50-year career are too numerous to list here. But as W. Kamau Bell notes in the second half of this two-part, three-and-a-half hour documentary: “I mean we all love Lenny Bruce. But no one’s sharing a Lenny Bruce bit to explain what’s happening in the culture right now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By contrast, not only has Carlin’s material never lost its relevance, if anything, it only makes more sense as the years tick by. Sure, Carlin understood in his own time that the world was a corrupt and crappy place. But, as \u003cem>George Carlin’s American Dream\u003c/em> brilliantly demonstrates, he also somehow knew all of the worst things on the horizon of American culture. And somehow, despite his unflappable cynicism, he successfully made all that bad news, all that dark philosophy, all of that political scrutiny and all of the increasing hopelessness he felt unfathomably funny.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWCGCacySrQ\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like Carlin’s own material, Apatow and Bonfiglio do us the favor of not sugar-coating anything about Carlin’s life, be it personal or professional.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We see Carlin’s start as a straight-laced, be-suited, variety show performer in the early ’60s—an oft-forgotten period of his career. We see Carlin in the early ’80s at his lowest point, making tired jokes and dealing with mockery from the younger, hipper comedians he paved the way for. (At one point, Cheech Marin called Carlin “obsolete.”) We hear about the damage wrought by his cocaine addiction from the person it damaged the most—his daughter, Kelly. (Tape recordings of Carlin yelling at himself in a coked-out stupor are genuinely disturbing.) And a spotlight is held firmly over the darker stand-up material that emerged at the end of Carlin’s career. Material in which he claimed, among other things, to enjoy watching people die in natural disasters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13904228']The harsh details of his biography are broken up by Carlin’s own best stand-up clips (including, of course, the legendary “\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbZhpf3sQxQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">7 Dirty Words\u003c/a>” routine that shot him to superstardom in the 1970s.) Those incredibly clever, mostly hilarious bits are enhanced with insightful commentary from fellow comedians, including Chris Rock, Jerry Seinfeld, Bette Midler, Bill Burr and Patton Oswalt. What’s more, close-ups of his hand-written notes-to-self provide insight into Carlin’s thought process and working style. These glimpses feel revelatory. (One says simply: “ABORTION, GUNS, GOD and GAYS should be: JOBS, EDUCATION and HEALTHCARE.”) His love notes to Brenda Carlin, his wife of 36 years, also appear here, surprisingly intimate and sometimes shockingly gooey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the end of it all, one is left with the impression that Carlin’s famous caustic persona was the result of a perfect storm. High IQ plus unsatisfied idealism, plus deep sensitivity, plus rebellious spirit all added up to the George Carlin many of his peers and successors consider one of the greatest comedians of all time. And there is ample evidence in the documentary to convincingly back up that claim.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In one scene, Jon Stewart sums up the reason for Carlin’s longevity best. “I still refer to him all the time,” Stewart says. “Which for a comic… I mean, comedy is so ephemeral in so many ways. It takes him out of the class of pop star and puts him in the class of Bach and Beethoven and classicists—people that created something that was timeless because it wasn’t based on a moment, it was based on a deeper truth.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>George Carlin’s American Dream\u003c/em> will expose you to myriad truths—about life, about comedy, about power, about pain. Some of them hurt, some of them entertain, but all, presented through Carlin’s eyes, feel inspiring, motivating and, frankly, like a kick in the ass. Even 14 years after his death, Carlin’s words still have the power to give us a jolt. It’s up to us now to figure out what to do with them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-12127869\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-800x78.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"78\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-400x39.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-768x75.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>‘George Carlin’s American Dream’ premieres on HBO Max on Friday, May 20 at 8pm. \u003ca href=\"https://www.hbo.com/george-carlins-american-dream\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Details here\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

It would have been meaningful in 2017 because of tiki torch Nazis. (“When fascism comes to America,” the comedian once said, “it won’t wear jack boots and brown shirts, it’ll have on a smiling face and a T-shirt and designer jeans.”) It would have felt suited to 2020 because of Carlin’s searing commentary on police brutality in the ’80s and ’90s. His 1992 material on the first Gulf War is applicable to every conflict the United States has been involved with this century.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But no one’s sharing a Lenny Bruce bit to explain what’s happening in the culture right now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By contrast, not only has Carlin’s material never lost its relevance, if anything, it only makes more sense as the years tick by. Sure, Carlin understood in his own time that the world was a corrupt and crappy place. But, as \u003cem>George Carlin’s American Dream\u003c/em> brilliantly demonstrates, he also somehow knew all of the worst things on the horizon of American culture.

We see Carlin in the early ’80s at his lowest point, making tired jokes and dealing with mockery from the younger, hipper comedians he paved the way for. (At one point, Cheech Marin called Carlin “obsolete.”) We hear about the damage wrought by his cocaine addiction from the person it damaged the most—his daughter, Kelly. (Tape recordings of Carlin yelling at himself in a coked-out stupor are genuinely disturbing.) And a spotlight is held firmly over the darker stand-up material that emerged at the end of Carlin’s career. Material in which he claimed, among other things, to enjoy watching people die in natural disasters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Those incredibly clever, mostly hilarious bits are enhanced with insightful commentary from fellow comedians, including Chris Rock, Jerry Seinfeld, Bette Midler, Bill Burr and Patton Oswalt. What’s more, close-ups of his hand-written notes-to-self provide insight into Carlin’s thought process and working style. These glimpses feel revelatory. (One says simply: “ABORTION, GUNS, GOD and GAYS should be: JOBS, EDUCATION and HEALTHCARE.”) His love notes to Brenda Carlin, his wife of 36 years, also appear here, surprisingly intimate and sometimes shockingly gooey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the end of it all, one is left with the impression that Carlin’s famous caustic persona was the result of a perfect storm. High IQ plus unsatisfied idealism, plus deep sensitivity, plus rebellious spirit all added up to the George Carlin many of his peers and successors consider one of the greatest comedians of all time. And there is ample evidence in the documentary to convincingly back up that claim.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In one scene, Jon Stewart sums up the reason for Carlin’s longevity best. “I still refer to him all the time,” Stewart says. “Which for a comic… I mean, comedy is so ephemeral in so many ways. It takes him out of the class of pop star and puts him in the class of Bach and Beethoven and classicists—people that created something that was timeless because it wasn’t based on a moment, it was based on a deeper truth.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>George Carlin’s American Dream\u003c/em> will expose you to myriad truths—about life, about comedy, about power, about pain. Some of them hurt, some of them entertain, but all, presented through Carlin’s eyes, feel inspiring, motivating and, frankly, like a kick in the ass. Even 14 years after his death, Carlin’s words still have the power to give us a jolt. It’s up to us now to figure out what to do with them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-12127869\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-800x78.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"78\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-400x39.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-768x75.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>‘George Carlin’s American Dream’ premieres on HBO Max on Friday, May 20 at 8pm. \u003ca href=\"https://www.hbo.com/george-carlins-american-dream\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Details here\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
