HBO’s George Carlin Dropped The Comedian’s First Promo, And I’m Already Ready To Cry Through My Laughter

Had HBO and legendary comedian George Carlin been partners from the start, he might not have had to deal with all the censorship issues that drove his career up, thanks in part to his amazing “Seven Dirty Words” routine. By the time he hit the cable network in 1978, it was clear it was a match made in stand-up comedy heaven, and his legacy of 14 was pretty cool on its own. So it’s totally fitting that Judd Apatow’s retro-documentary is in two parts George Carlin’s American Dream It will premiere on HBO a month before the 14th anniversary of his death, and the first trailer (shown above) is an instant reminder of his mastery with a microphone.

George Carlin’s American Dream Its first installment will premiere Friday, May 20, with Part Two airing the following night, giving comedy fans a weekend filled with adorable wordplay, commonsense arguments, and exposing nonsense from someone he called their best. Supposedly along with a hippie weather report or two along the way. And it wouldn’t just be a reread for all the gigantic fans who might already be aware – not that there would be anything to complain about if that were the case – as things will likely veer a little more emotionally from the on-stage highlight reel. So whether I laugh so hard I cry, or cry so hard that I laugh, I accept all consequences.
