Does anyone agree with me, that Carlin was very bitter and unfunny in the last few years he was doing monologues. I saw him in 2006 in Rochester and the opening act had more laughs.

The nadir was coming for over ten years.

I saw Carlin once on Arsenio Hall in 1998 or so, and only one comic got more crickets chirping and empty air telling jokes: Tom Arnold.

Carlin was simply a comedian...but he thought he was more.
His ego was insufferable. Like most entertainers.

I just wonder if he got the “Two-Minute Warning” before he passed?

“Two minutes, get your s—t together!”

And were his final words, “And if I’m wrong, may God strike me down dead!”

I saw him in concert about 20 years ago. His opening monologue was so vile and despicable that I almost walked out. Never before or since have I heard Christians called such nasty, hateful, evil things. He never even tried to be funny with it - it was just a slurry of words bound by blind, ignorant fury.

The man was a comedic genius but he was a bitter, hate-filled man. I hope for his sake God is a very forgiving God.
