I'm sorry, but I think Carlin would be insulted by the claim that he wasn't a comedian. He was a master at his craft and constantly honing it to stay relevant and in the zeitgeist. Comedy at his level (really at any level because I did it professionally at a very low level) is incredibly difficult work. Do not sell him short.

You make a very good point. My wording was poor. I’ve now changed it to “that isn’t all he was.” Thank you.

This is the closest you’ve come to making me think you’re one of the Knowledge Fight hosts ;)

(I’m guessing you’ll get the reference but my sincere apologies if not)
