Goodbye George Carlin, 71

[Kevy Baby]

This Saturday, Saturday Night Live will be playing the very first episode of SNL featuring George Carlin as the Guest Host (with Billy Preston and Janice Ian musical guests).

This weekend, HBO will be playing most or all (I've heard conflicting stories) of the 14 George Carlin HBO specials.

And it was quite different than how we've come to view guest hosts since. Some many years ago I went to the Museum of Radio & Television and pulled up the first SNL episode (along with a few other choice shows), and watched it for the first time. I'd love to see it again, so it's a part of our Saturday night plan.
