I recall working on an art project in college that night in the living room of my trailer when that came on the TV and I gave it part of my attention. The rest of my attention was taken up hopping on a sprained ankle around a sheet of acrylic I was painting something to be backlit in a local McDonalds.Paul McCallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00725050365857405546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8001348.post-84743969843235410052008-06-25T16:46:00.000-04:002008-06-25T16:46:00.000-04:00I'm never sure about imdb.

I do recall the Merv Griffin and Mike Douglas shows and Flip Wilson's show having him on.ShellyShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14183404615688013084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8001348.post-68690293140074814972008-06-25T12:44:00.000-04:002008-06-25T12:44:00.000-04:00My first George Carlin memory is a summer replacem...My first George Carlin memory is a summer replacement show "Away We Go." Summer of 1967, Carlin clean shaven, neatly trimmed hair in a suit doing his Hippy-Dippy Weatherman routine. I thought the show's headliners were Steve Lawrence and Edie GormeĀ“ but the IMDB says Buddy Greco and Sheila MacRea, what do I know, I was thirteen and comedy impressed me more than lounge singers. That was my first exposure to Richard Pryor as well.Paul McCallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00725050365857405546noreply@blogger.com
