Thanks to numerous talents, the comedian's family did not live in poverty. Karlin provided excellent support for his family and himself. However, he was never frank about the size of his income.
Searching for a vocation
George Denis Patrick Carlin's profanity number was first shown on television without cuts. The comedian founded a new genre of stand-up, which has not lost its relevance even now.
The comedian taught people to treat with humor not only themselves, but also to seemingly unshakable concepts. The biography of the future celebrity began in 1937.
The child was born in New York. No one was involved in creativity in the boy's family. Mother worked as a secretary, father worked as an advertising manager. Parents broke up when their son was 2 years old.
George worked as a mechanic at a radar station after school. A talented artist in the same period became a presenter at a local radio station.
The occupation was perceived as a hobby. George did not think about professional education. In 1959, Karlin decided to pursue a career as a comedian. He began performing in clubs, cafes and variety shows.
Confession
It took 2 years, and the aspiring artist was invited to television. He quickly became a famous person in the comedy world. In the seventies, Carlin joined the hippies. The new image and colored outfits caused disagreements with the leadership of television and the termination of contracts.
In 1978, the comedian presented a new issue of "7 Dirty Words". He was the first to use on the air the previously never sounded in it and recognized as offensive expressions.
The speech turned out to be resonant. As a result, court hearings began, culminating in the demand for state control of broadcasting even on non-state channels and stations.
In 1977, the recordings of the artist's first comedy programs were completed. He discussed in them modern religious and political topics, ridiculed the level of education existing in the country, monetary and career concepts prevailing among American youth.
All facets of talent
In each of the 14 programs, Karlin spoke out purely negatively about national problems, in a satirical form ridiculing American politicians. At the same time, the film stage of his artistic career began.
Until 1991, the role of George was offered minor or episodic. The first major role in the film "The Incredible Adventures of Bill and Ted" brought success. Played as a comedian, Rufus instantly became a cult character.
Karlin became famous as an excellent political analyst. He promoted the opinion of Mark Twain, urging fellow citizens to ignore the elections. He also had his own position as a satirist on the topic of religion.
For his contribution to the development of the national theater, the comedian received a personalized star on the Walk of Fame at the beginning of the 2000s. In 2004, he was voted second in the Comedy Central Top 100 Comedians.
New Achievements
The artist received his first Grammy Award in 1973 for Best Comedy Album. The satirist realized that you can not only listen to him, but also read him. He began to record his performances.
The debut composition was the work "Sometimes a small brain can be damaged." The book was published in 1984. Its circulation exceeded several million. Thirteen years later, a new work, Brain Loss, was released.
The collection was distinguished from its predecessor by black humor and criticism of politics and religion. Even fans admitted the novelty was too tough. In 2011, the presentation of "Napalm and Children's Plasticine" took place.
In 2004, the collection "When Will Jesus Fetch the Pork Chops?" Both books managed to generate lively discussions. The last lifetime work of the author was the composition "Three times Carlin: George's Orgy."
The book has united all the developments, thoughts of the writer for 30 years of his work. According to critics and readers, the work came out rich, but slightly chaotic.
Family and fame
The Internet satirist brought worldwide fame. The comedian's television programs and audio recordings have been translated into many languages. His sarcastic and cynical humor was popular all over the planet. Often Karlin's words are quoted on Instagram.
The satirist bitterly admitted that people sin with an abundance of empty words, but rarely love, and too often hate. He reproached mankind for the inability to arrange their own life and in successful attempts to provide for living.
The comedian admitted that years were added to life, but they did not make sense, and space flights did not lead to facilitating the establishment of contacts with neighbors and harmony with the inner world.
The artist himself has successfully arranged his personal life. In 19671 Brenda Hosbrook became his wife. Acquaintance with the chosen one happened in 1960, during the comedian's tour. A couple of years later, a child appeared in the family, daughter Kelly.
Memory
After the death of his wife in 1997, George was left alone for a year. Sally Wade became his new companion in 1998.
George Carlin passed away in 2008, June 22. In 2009, his biography "Last Words" was published.
With this book, the author seemed to be summing up the results of his life, formulating conclusions and again making fun of his favorite topics.
On the Internet, a version of the life story written by the comedians was also posted using profanity. The book deals with the most important moments in the opinion of the creator.
In 2011, George's colleague, comedian Kevin Bartini, petitioned for the renaming of the 500th block of West 121st Street in Carlin's hometown in honor of the artist. As a result, the name of the satirist was given to the quarter four hundredth.
