Danny talks with comedian George Carlin about the state of the world, the art of comedy writing, and Carlin's liberal use of profanity. We'll also hear routines from two of Carlin's comedy albums: "Parental Advisory Explicit Lyrics" (Eardrum Records 7 91593-2) and "Jammin' In New York" (Eardrum Records 7 92221-2). Tonight, Carlin performs his stand-up act at the Beacon Theater in New York City - a performance that will be broadcast live on the HBO cable channel.
