À propos de cet audio

 For the last 14 years of his life, the brilliant, caustic, and hilarious George Carlin worked on his autobiography—now, written with bestselling author Tony Hendra and posthumously published, Carlin has proven that even after death, he is still one of the funniest men who ever lived.

One of the undisputed heavyweight champions of American comedy, with nineteen appearances on the Johnny Carson show, thirteen HBO specials, five Grammys, and a critical Supreme Court battle over censorship under his belt, George Carlin saw it all throughout his extraordinary fifty-year career, and made fun of most of it. Last Words is the story of the man behind some of the most seminal comedy of the last half century, blending his signature acerbic humor with never-before-told stories from his own life, including encounters with a Who’s Who of 1970s celebrity—from Lenny Bruce to Hugh Hefner—and the origins of some of his most famous standup routines. Carlin’s early conflicts, his long struggle with substance abuse, his turbulent relationships with his family, and his triumphs over catastrophic setbacks all fueled the unique comedic worldview he brought to the stage. From the heights of stardom to the low points few knew about, Last Words is told with the same razor-sharp wit and unblinking honesty that made Carlin one of the best-loved comedians in American history.©2009 George's Stuff; (P)2009 Simon & Schuster Arts de la scène Divertissement et célébrités Célébrité Comédie Biographie Spirituel Drôle

It’s nice to listen to for a bit of insight into the life of George Carlin. Something to listen to while working away. Think Audible could have did a better job with chapters however. Audible has this divided up into 5 chapters that make no sense what so ever for position. Why they didn’t just do the 19 to 20 chapters the book actually has and announces as you’re listening is beyond me. Guess someone got lazy.

Nice little history and into the mind of George

It is a very personal, honest and fun look back at the career and life of this icon of comedy.

Worth a listen if you are a Carlin fan

Last Words is not a long bio, but covers a very long comedy career with plenty of ups and downs. I got the book because I enjoyed Carlin’s later comedy, because that’s when I was old enough to understand deeper than his crassness, and I greatly appreciated the hard look at society he took. The book shows how his brand of comedy developed into that and who in his personal life helped steer him. A huge bonus to the audiobook is that his brother Patrick narrates and sounds so much like George, voice and expression. I think without that I wouldn’t have enjoyed the story nearly as much. #Audible1
