A Tribute to George Carlin: His Seven Best Money Jokes
By Mellissa Seecharan

George Carlin was what every comedian wished they could be – outspoken, funny, respected, and successful. He was a counter-culture comedian who, at the age of 71, died late Sunday afternoon of heart failure.

Carlin rose to iconic status in the 1970s, and even hosted the very first episode of Saturday Night Live (GE) in 1975. Known for his wit and anti-authoritarian ways, Carlin not only changed comedy but this high school dropout from New York City also shook-up the broadcasting world. His infamous skit, Seven Words You Can Never Say On TV, resulted in a landmark ruling by the Supreme Court — a decision which defined the FCC’s power over broadcasting indecent material.
