Words on the Verge | George Carlin | Carlin at Carnegie (1982)

Video Description

Comedian George Carlin takes the stage to talk about words on the verge of being filthy because of how they sound, but are actually quite innocent in this hilarious bit from Carlin at Carnegie (1982). Taped before a sold-out house at New York City´s Carnegie Hall, the performance represents a creative resurgence for Carlin, following a heart attack earlier that year. He ignites the stage with unique perceptions and his outrageous physical comedy, employing along the way his well-honed powers of mimicry.

There was no topic off limits to his keen observation, wordplay, goofy jabs and rants, whether it was drugs, war, politics, the accumulation of stuff or the way in which we use words.
