"8/10🌟 George Carlin was just a really funny, but also brilliant comedian whose rebellious nature changed comedy forever— His famous "seven dirty words" routine led to a Supreme Court decision in 1978 that helped define the extent to which the federal government could regulate speech on broadcast television & radio in the U.S. — If you enjoy stand-up, this is a MUST WATCH."
"My favorite comedian EVER! Saw Carlin in Vegas on my 21st birthday - best bday ever! "
