Damn. Bad year for my heroes. Gygax, Clarke, and now George. I suppose it happens. There's one hell of a hole in the stand up world now. See you later George.
When George was on Inside the Actor's Studio, James Lipton asked him "If God exists, what would you like him to say to you when you arrive at the pearly gates?" George answered "Now we're going to have some fun here."
George - have loads and loads of fun up there - we will have a significantly smaller amount of fun without you down here. You will be sorely missed.
Steven Colbert's tribute to Carlin last night is, I think, both a fitting way to say goodbye to George and a really smart lampooning of the coverage of his death.
