),George Carlin talks about why he still performed into his 70s, why he considers himself a Writer and Artist above all and is not comfortable with the term "entertainer". The lesson he takes from Pablo Casals.. "I'm starting to notice some improvement".He talks about his aspirations to be an Actor, how he got his own television show, "The George Carlin Show" (FOX, 1993-95), how he came to replace Ringo Starr on the children's show "Shining Time Station", and his appearance as the first-ever guest host of "Saturday Night Live"..Carlin talks in depth about how he puts together his live comedy show and his working process leading up to his filmed HBO specials, and whether he ever tires of his older routines. He talks about the next (his last) HBO special, which he was preparing to tape- "It's Bad for Ya".
