    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.
