| George Carlin | | Comedian |
Hailed for his irreverent social commentary, poignant observations of the absurdities of everyday life and language, Carlin often shrugged off attempts to label him as a "difference-maker" in American culture. His 1972 routine, "Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television," sparked an indecency debate that went all the way to the Supreme Court. Carlin was especially noted for his political and dark humour and his observations on language, psychology, and religion along with many taboo subjects.
