Texsox Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 December 7, 2004 -- GEORGE Carlin ended his relationship with the MGM Grand in Las Vegas with a devastating diss the other night. The caustic comic finished his four-year run with a dark set that included riffs on suicides and beheadings, and made it clear that he couldn't wait to get out of "this [bleeping] hotel" and Sin City. The Las Vegas Review-Journal's Norm Clarke reports that Carlin told the crowd of 700 that he was looking forward to going back east "where the real people are." He added, "People who go to Las Vegas, you've got to question their [bleeping] intellect . . . Traveling hundreds and thousands of miles to essentially give your money to a large corporation is kind of [bleeping] moronic. That's what I'm always getting here is these kind of [bleeping] people with very limited intellects." When a woman yelled something that sounded like "stop degrading us," Carlin fired back, "Thank you very much, whatever that was. I hope it was positive; if not, well, [bleep] me," using slang for oral sex. Strangely, though, Carlin isn't ready to leave town yet: He's jumping to the Stardust in February after a falling out with the MGM Grand. Has George been funny since Nixon was in office? :headshake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 I wish he'd gotten that mad at himself for reading his jokes off a f***ing yellow pad of paper when I saw him at Holiday Star. Goddamn piece of s*** unprofessional hack. He should have printed "HBO Rehearsal" on the advertising, if he has such HIGH STANDARDS. 25 bucks to watch him work out a routine for an HBO special - he made me "question my own intellect" for ever paying money to see him.
