You cant talk about comedy legends without talking George Carlin. Named the greatest standup of all time by XM Radios All Time Comedy Greats (and #2 by both Comedy Central and Rolling Stone), Carlin garnered multiple gold records, 4 Grammys, 6 Emmy nominations, and the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. He was the first host of SNL, appeared on the Tonight Show some 130 times, and acted in beloved films like Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure and Dogma. Dubbed the dean of counterculture comedians, there was no one like George Carlin.
Featuring a foreword by Lewis Black and an introduction by Carlins longtime best friend and manager, A Modern Man is a perfect introduction for new fans and a must-have for longtime fans, showcasing the longevity, range, andabove allhilarity of the master. Filled with thoughts, musings, questions, lists, beliefs, curiosities, monologues, assertions, assumptions, and other delicious verbal ordeals, it is drop-dead funny tour through Carlins singular mind. More than ten years after his death, Carlins characteristically ironic takes on lifes annoying universal truths remain thoughtful, fearless, and somehow more relevant than ever.
