this question will definitely have a huge debate on it, but the GOAT is dead: George Carlin

[–] smokin_shinobi@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Honorable mention to Bill Hicks.

He was the best. He still is, but he was, too.

It's a pity Carlin is dead. He could have run with Stewart as Veep.

Got the chance to see him a year or so before his passing.

He was still on fire. Killer set right until the end. There will never be another of his like again I fear.
